Do you also wonder why it is so difficult to give up junk and sugar? It is apparently because your brain gets used to it.
Published in the journal Cell Metabolism, the study suggests that eating sugary and high-fat food items trains your brain to dislike healthier options.
For the study, the team examined two groups where one group was given yogurt with two times higher fat and sugar and the other group was given a low-fat and sugar yogurt.
It was found that the group which had been eating high-sugar and fat yogurt didn’t enjoy the healthier options as they used to before the study. Not only genetic and environmental influences, but habitual factors also contribute to weight gain, study authors concluded.
