According to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the brains of obese people work harder than those of average-weight people to achieve the same results. The connections between the brain parts responsible for memory and decision-making were hyperactive in overweight people, but functioned normally in average-weight people, says study author Timothy Verstynen, Ph.D., a professor at Carnegie Mellon. High blood pressure and inflammation irritate your brain’s communication systems, making it harder for messages to come through, says Verstynen.
