Como ya sabemos, consumir demasiados alimentos que contengan grasas nocivas como las saturadas, no es saludable para el coraz\u00f3n. Pero adem\u00e1s, de acuerdo a esta investigaci\u00f3n, el consumo de este tipo de grasas podr\u00eda estar asociado con una peor funci\u00f3n cognitiva general y de la memoria en las mujeres a largo plazo. Por el contrario, las grasas monoinsaturadas se asocian con una mejor funci\u00f3n cognitiva general, y de la memoria.<\/p>\n
Los investigadores se centraron en los datos de un grupo de 6000 mujeres, todas mayores de 65 a\u00f1os. Ellas participaron en tres pruebas de funci\u00f3n cognitiva, las cuales fueron espaciadas cada dos a\u00f1os. \u201cAl observar los cambios en la funci\u00f3n cognitiva, encontramos que la cantidad total de la ingesta de grasa no importa, sino que lo relevante es el tipo de grasa consumida\u201d, explica Olivia Okereke, una de las investigadoras.<\/p>\n
Las mujeres consum\u00edan las mayores cantidades de grasas saturadas como la carne roja y mantequilla en comparaci\u00f3n con aquellas que consumieron las cantidades m\u00e1s baja mostraron una peor funci\u00f3n cognitiva y peor memoria. Por otro lado, aquellas que consum\u00edan grasas monoinsaturadas como aceite de oliva, mostraron mejores patrones de puntuaciones cognitivas.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsumir grasa buena, en lugar de grasa mala, es una modificaci\u00f3n de la dieta bastante simple, que podr\u00eda ayudar a prevenir la disminuci\u00f3n de la capacidad de memoria\u00bb, dijo Okereke.<\/p>\n

\nTweaking dietary fat intake could help slow brain aging, study suggests<\/p>\n
In a finding sure to fuel the debate over the harms of saturated fat, researchers at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital published a study Friday suggesting that saturated fats — found in red meat and full-fat dairy products — causes the brain to age more rapidly than other kinds of fat. Olive oil, avocado, and other monounsaturated fats appear to slow brain aging.<\/p>\n
The study, published online in the Annals of Neurology, compared dietary surveys taken from nearly 6,200 healthy women over age 65 with cognitive functioning tests taken about five years later and found that those women who reported the highest saturated fat intake also had, on average, the worst scores on reasoning and memory tests. Those with the highest monounsaturated fat intake had the best cognition test scores on average, compared with those who ate mostly polyunsaturated fats — found in corn and vegetable oils.<\/p>\n
Women who had a high intake of saturated fat had brains that appeared 5 or 6 years older than their biological age, according to study author Dr. Olivia Okereke, a psychiatrist and epidemiologist at the Brigham, while those with the highest consumption of monounsaturated fat had brains that were about 6 or 7 years younger.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn general, when it comes to dietary fat, the message has been pretty consistent over time that those dietary fats that are beneficial for cardiovascular health might similarly be beneficial for brain health,\u201d said Okereke. Saturated fats are thought to promote inflammation and damage to the arteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
