Obesity may be too intellectual decline

Britain, "The Sun" recently published by the Swedish scientists have a long-term medical study pointed out that women will not only lead to obesity such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and other diseases, but it will also affect intelligence, those of the obese women of their level of intelligence often show Unsatisfactory. In fact, not only women, men are also the basic performance of the case, then why obesity can affect intelligence?

Temporal lobe cortex of the brain's cortex is learning, and obesity would lead to brain damage in the region, the impact of human memory and language skills.

Research shows that temporal lobe cortex of the most important function is one of the accepted language of understanding and handling, and to find the most appropriate way to express them. Language is one of the animals from the most important, there is the human language, to make it complicated to find the best thinking of the carrier, rather than the correct understanding of the language would have blocked thinking.

In addition, the temporal lobe cortex associated with long-term memory, if the temporal lobe cortex damage would severely affect people's memory, so that learning activities very difficult, and intellectual learning is a prerequisite for development.

The study found that about 16 percent of overweight women, as per the weight of one kilogram of fat, shown to reduce the apparent intelligence.

The researchers believe obesity by influencing temporal cortex and thus affect the physiological function of the level of intelligence, mainly as the impact of obesity cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood flow will reduce the direct physiological function of the brain injury, cerebral cortex appears to make light district, one of the mind Activities and acts of interference by, if the temporal lobe is the area of quality appeared sparse, it will decrease memory, language comprehension slow, and not thinking clearly.

It's another reason why obesity is likely to affect the body's hormones, and hormone activity in the brain and neural activity is closely related to biological and chemical substances, biological and chemical substances due to nerve once the impact of abnormal hormone, can lead to thinking, memory, emotional activity The abnormal.

The more obese, less physical activity, sport, the worse sense of rhythm, will also be affected by temporal lobe function, and mental effects.

In boxing and other sports arena, it is easy to find those athletes obesity sense of rhythm is not always satisfactory, the body's flexibility is also apparent as others.

Science has proven that the brain, temporal lobe cortex in particular the right side of the temporal lobe cortex to identify with the pace and rhythm to express the functions of all this is the temporal lobe disease in patients with a sense of rhythm movement worse the main reason.

In general, the more obese people do not want to exercise more, rather than a direct consequence of movement is one of the people gradually lose their sense of rhythm, movement becomes clumsy. The loss of a sense of rhythm or decline, in turn, would affect the temporal lobe cortex function to function decline.

Practice has proved that music and rhythmic movement can not only lose weight but also can be educational, it can improve the temporal lobe of the brain cortex of physiological function, or even some of the treatment of temporal lobe disease.

California, a research group found that people who often sang along, like poetry recitation, like the rhythmic movement of people, not only emotional stability than most people, and thinking and language abilities were slightly better than the average.
The researchers based on a set of temporal lobe of the people in question were targeted training and the rhythm of music training, three months after being trained on the temporal lobe cortex of the brain MRI scan carried out, they found that the temporal lobe of the brain The physiological function cortex activity levels have varying degrees of improvement.

This is obese is also a good news, they can take a fixed time or sang loudly reciting poetry and, of course, there are any plans to participate in the strong pace of the movement or activities such as dancing or doing aerobics. In that case, can lose weight, but also to improve the situation of the intelligence.
