Overeating may double your risk of memory loss

According to a very recent study memory loss could be added to the health risks of overeating. It suggested that consuming between 2100 and 6000 calories per day may double the risk of memory loss or mind cognitive impairment (MCI) among people aged 70 and older. MCI is the period between normal memory loss that comes with aging and early Alzheimer's disease. The results of this study are set to be presented this April at the American Academy of Neurology's 64th Annual Meeting.

If these findings are true then a proper diet would not only help us maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, but could also prevent memory loss as we age.
