7. HOW DOES WHAT YOU EAT AFFECT
YOUR BRAIN?
• We’ve already talked a little bit about how healthy food can help
you focus. And in fact, Psychology Today reports that good
proteins, such as lean meats and nuts, are scientifically proven to
improve your brain function. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains,
raw or steamed vegetables, nuts, and foods made with whole
wheat all help with keeping your body and brain healthy. So if
you’ve got a big test coming up? Reach for the salad, please!
• In contrast, research shows that junk food can decrease your
memory function in the short-term, and increase your risk of
dementia in the long-term. Basically, junk food rots your brain. It’s
definitely not the type of food you want to be consuming when
you’re trying to learn!
8. HOW DOES JUNK FOOD
AFFECT STUDENTS?
Healthy foods help with concentration for school and work. Eating
healthy also helps with energy levels and positive thinking. We all
want to be able to focus on our day and get as much done as possible.
But what are the effects of junk food on students?
Medical journals show that children who eat high levels of fast food
are slower to develop academic skills than their peers. These
findings were true across all academic subjects, but even more so
when it comes to learning math. Junk food also leads to a lack of
energy and focus—two crucial components of success in school. And
yes, unfortunately the trend continues into adulthood and college.
9. Tips to control yourself from
junk food cravings :
1. Drink Water
Thirst is often confused with hunger or food cravings.
If you feel a sudden urge for a specific food, try drinking a large glass of water and
wait a few minutes.
Furthermore, drinking plenty of water may have many health benefits. In middle-
aged and older people, drinking water before meals can reduce appetite and help
with weight loss
2. Eat More Protein
Eating more protein may reduce your appetite and keep you from overeating.
It also reduces cravings, and helps you feel full and satisfied for longer.
One study of overweight teenage girls showed that eating a high-protein breakfast
reduced cravings significantly.
Another study in overweight men showed that increasing protein intake to 25% of
calories reduced cravings by 60%. Additionally, the desire to snack at night was
reduced by 50%.
10. Tips to control yourself from
junk food cravings :
3. Distance Yourself From the Craving
When you feel a craving, try to distance yourself from it.
For example, you can take a brisk walk or a shower to shift your mind onto
something else. A change in thought and environment may help stop the craving.
Some studies have also shown that chewing gum can help reduce appetite and
cravings.
4. Plan Your Meals
If possible, try to plan your meals for the day or upcoming week.
By already knowing what you’re going to eat, you eliminate the factor of
spontaneity and uncertainty.
If you don’t have to think about what to eat at the following meal, you will be less
tempted and less likely to experience cravings.
11. Tips to control yourself from
junk food cravings :
5. Avoid Getting Extremely Hungry
Hunger is one of the biggest reasons why we experience cravings.
To avoid getting extremely hungry, it may be a good idea to eat regularly and have
healthy snacks close at hand.
By being prepared, and avoiding long periods of hunger, you may be able to prevent
the craving from showing up at all.
6. Get Enough Sleep
Your appetite is largely affected by hormones that fluctuate throughout the day.
Sleep deprivation disrupts the fluctuations, and may lead to poor appetite
regulation and strong cravings.
Studies support this, showing that sleep-deprived people are up to 55% more likely
to become obese, compared to people who get enough sleep.
For this reason, getting good sleep may be one of the most powerful ways to
prevent cravings from showing up.
