Being fit in today’s running life has become everyone’s desire. But have you ever thought that keeping the waist and hip ratio right between the ages of 40 and 50 can make your body not only the body but also the brain? Yes, in a recent research, scientists have made this shocking disclosure.
Doctors from Britain, France, Germany and Netherlands studied health data of about 1,200 people for many years and found that healthy food and weight control in mid -age helps to maintain the brain in the old state.
How does obesity affect the brain?
This research states that if the person keeps the ratio of his body, especially the waist and hip in the middle age, a special part of his brain – Hippocamps works in a good way.
Hippocampus is the part that:
- Strengthens memory
- Increases learning ability
- Helps decide
But when the weight especially increases around the stomach, the hippocampus starts shrinking and the chances of weakening the memory increases significantly.
Stomach increases with forgetting disease
According to research, people who were around 40-50 years old and their weight was higher around the stomach, when they reached close to the age of 70, then they:
- Memory weakening
- Decision making ability to decrease
- And the symptoms of a decline in mental clarity were seen more.
On the other hand, those who controlled their weight in the middle age and adopted healthy lifestyle, their brain health saw a lot of improvement till old age.

- Oxford University (Britain)
- Max Planck Institute, Leapjig (Germany)
