Losing Weight Can Improve Your Memory

In addition to just generally being good for you slimming down to a healthy weight can improve your memory and increase brain activity.

Previous studies had shown that obese people have worse episodic memory – the ability to remember events that happen during your life – but the new findings suggest this may be reversible, the scientists said.
