Ultra-processed foods damage your focus even if you eat healthily

New research from Monash University, the University of São Paulo and Deakin University shows that a diet high in heavily processed foods can negatively impact the brain's ability to focus and increases the risk of developing dementia. The study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, examined the diets and cognitive health of more than 2,100 Australian dementia-free adults middle-aged and older.
