A key factor that helps control how much we eat is the feeling of hunger or fullness and how well the mind remembers this.
Academics in Australia tested a group of people who ate a diet high in sugar and fat and low in fruit, vegetables and fibre and another group who ate more healthily.
They found that those on the unhealthy Western-style diet were slower at learning and had a poorer memory than those who ate a healthier diet.
The poor diet group also showed a smaller reduction in the desire for snacks when they were full as opposed to hungry.
This effect, reported at the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behaviour’s annual meeting in Portugal, has been seen in experiments on animals before.
It is thought the Western diet affects the hippocampus area of the brain, hindering the ability to block out memories that are no longer useful.
Normally memories of food are at the forefront of your mind when you are hungry, but are blocked when your body feels full.
But this process does not seem to work as well among those who eat a diet high in fat and sugar.

Previous research has suggested that middle-aged adults who are overweight and obese are at greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia compared to people of normal weight.
And children as young as seven may suffer from an impaired memory because of a fat and sugar-rich Western diet.
Studies in rats have shown that the Western diet can weaken the blood-brain barrier, which helps protect the brain from harmful agents in the bloodstream.

The 6-foot-9 power forward should start immediately when he arrives for the 2014-15 season. A versatile player who can hit the boards and stretch the floor, he has drawn at least one comparison to Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.
The Bruins are already light in the frontcourt as constructed. Next season, twins Travis and David Wear will have graduated, leaving Tony Parker and Wanaah Bail as the only big men on the roster.
Looney’s other finalists were Duke, Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Michigan State. Few recruiting analysts picked the Bruins to win out. UCLA had already lost its first commitment, swingman Trevon Bluiett, and only had unknown
Turkish Hungarian forward Gyorgy Goloman committed to its 2014 class.
Nov. 13 is the first day recruits can fax in their letters of intent.

According to Helen Dixon, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, changes will be driven by the new principle of accountability which requires businesses ‘to demonstrate that [they] comply with the principles and states explicitly that this is [their] responsibility’.
So how can you prove your business is meeting GDPR regulations? Although it’s extremely important to demonstrate your compliance to the regulator and to your customers, you also need to consider how to demonstrate compliance through every step of your business – this means ensuring your suppliers are compliant too.
The best way to undertake this is with an internal audit in collaboration with a learning management system (LMS). Getting the staff in your organisation to undertake an audit can showcase where they may have gaps in their knowledge surrounding the issue of data protection. Once you understand those gaps, you can train your staff quickly and easily utilising compliance e-learning supported on an LMS, so you can track your staff’s progress and ensure they complete their training at regular intervals.
This can also be automated and scheduled to meet compliance requirements for each regulator you know is coming – giving you peace of mind in the knowledge that your organisation will always comply to new and existing legislation on time.
A survey conducted by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) found that 75 per cent of adults in the UK don’t trust businesses with their personal data ; they don’t feel like they have control over their data and what happens to it. A report by Informatica found that, out of the 2,000 UK consumers they surveyed, nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) were concerned about the level of protection given to the personal information they shared with brands and organisations online.
So, when it comes to proving your GDPR compliance with your customers, try putting yourself in their shoes. What would you want to know? What would you want to be reassured about? Centre your GDPR preparations around your customers – be clear and upfront about why you want their data and what you’re going to do with it. For many customers, data transparency makes them feel more in control, so allow data subjects to access their data and correct any inaccuracies or keep it up-to-date.
Share how your business is preparing for GDPR and what that means for your customers, as well as how their data will be used, stored, shared and protected. Informatica found that being transparent about how personal information is used (50 per cent), having a privacy policy in place (43 per cent) and quickly responding to any issues (38 per cent) are the top three things that enterprises can do to earn consumer trust.
In the UK, regulators exercise authority over how organisations adhere to relevant rules in different industries, such as Ofsted for the education sector and the CQC for the healthcare sector. For enforcing the laws that govern privacy, the UK uses the independent regulator called the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Elizabeth Denham, Information Commissioner at the ICO, said in a speech that, when the GDPR legislation comes into effect, “For the most serious violations of the law, my office will have the power to fine companies up to twenty million Euros or four per cent of a company’s total annual worldwide turnover for the preceding year.
To prevent this, your organisation needs to have policies and procedures in place now to ensure everyone in your business understands how to protect the rights and freedoms of your data subjects, as well as measures to show the regulator why you’re using the data and how you’re protecting it.
Under the GDPR legislation, Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) are intended to help identify and manage risks to personal data. They are also crucial in showing the supervisory authorities (SAs) that a business has done everything it can to ensure data is processed in accordance with the law.
At Virtual College, we create a range of custom and off-the-shelf courses to help organisations ensure their workforce remains up-to-date and compliant with the legislation in their sector. This case study on our work with the NICEIC, the UK electrical contracting industry’s largest independent voluntary body, shows how our e-learning courses are used by electricians to help them ensure compliance with current UK legislation.
As part of the Data Protection Act 1998, you may already prove your organisation is compliant to your customers and the regulator, however, under the new GDPR legislation the burden of personal data protection lies with those who ‘own’ the personal data – in other words data controllers. This means that your organisation will be held accountable for any data privacy breaches of your customers’ personal data that happens along the supply chain, leading to monumental financial and reputational repercussions for your organisation.
