American scientists say that the brain has key cells responsible for controlling appetite and weight gain with age. However, the activity of these cells depends on the food that a person consumes.

Scientists from the University of Monash conducted a study in which they found out that the appetite intensified after foods containing carbohydrates and sugar. Experts believe that the more sugar and carbohydrates, the more cells of appetite regulation is damaged. As a result, a person can unconsciously become accustomed to "harmful food" and eat more every time than he needs, explain the nutritionists.

If the body often receives carbohydrates and sugar, then conditions are created for the unstable transmission of signals between the cells in the brain, which notify the sensation of hunger.

People from 25 to 50 years are in particular danger, because this age category most often injures important neurons, doctors say.

However, with excessive consumption of foods high in carbohydrates and sugar, free radicals interfere with the normal operation of neurons and lead to increased appetite, contributing to overeating and obesity. Nutritionists advise not to abuse eating sweet, since it is very bad can affect the overall health of medicinform. Net.
