New research: A high-fat and high sugar diet may impair sleep quality
A new study has added new weight to the necessity of a healthy diet: Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have found that a high-fat and high sugar diet can alter brain waves during deep sleep, potentially leading to a decrease in sleep quality. When humans are awake, their brain waves are mainly high-frequency beta waves. After entering sleep, low-frequency delta waves gradually increase, and their proportion reaches its highest in deep sleep. The related parameters are closely related to the recovery effect of sleep. Researchers recently published a paper in the American journal Obesity stating that a high-fat and high sugar diet can lead to a decrease in the proportion and intensity of delta waves during deep sleep.
