Robin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/h...sh_1105852.htm Dieting and exams don't mix Jacquie van Santen ABC Science Online Tuesday, 11 May 2004 Go on, have another. Dieting at exam time may take your thoughts away from study If you've got exams coming up and want to perform at your peak, then new research suggests you shouldn't diet. Australian research shows that dieters are more forgetful when it comes to carrying out some complex cognitive tasks. It seems that some of their memory space is taken up thoughts of food, weight and body image. PhD student Jacqueline Shaw and Professor Marika Tiggemann from Adelaide's Flinders University publish their research in the latest issue of the British Journal of Health Psychology. Tiggemann said memory consisted of a 'central executive' that acted as memory headquarters to tell two 'slave systems' what to do. One of the slave systems looks after hearing and verbal tasks, the other is a visual spatial 'sketch pad'. Scientists know that dieting affects cognitive performance. Previous research had identified that it was the central executive and verbal and auditory system, but not the visual system, that are affected most by dieting. The Australian study confirmed the verbal and auditory system finding. The researchers divided 92 female university students into three groups: those currently on a diet, those who had dieted in the past and those who had never dieted. The students then performed a series of cognitive tasks, such as tests recalling sequences of short and long words. The researchers found that those currently dieting struggled with complex verbal tasks. "You would think that dieting doesn't have much to do with verbal type things. But our study showed that when people were doing a task and then had to say something like numbers at the same time it affected their performance," Tiggemann said. Interestingly, only those who were currently dieting were affected; those who had once dieted performed on par with those who had never dieted. The researchers said this indicated it was the dieting behaviour itself that contributed to the poorer performance. Professor Tiggemann said the study findings were consistent with the idea that it was dieters' preoccupying thoughts that led to poorer memory performance. |

Do you even think before you type? I wasn't whining or complaining. I was
stating facts. And I was disputing the myth that fat people are healthy. Talk about trolls. You are a fine example of one. You didn't notice my signature did you? Or my follow up message.

Either you are a troll or are highly delusional. Overweight people may be as happy as thin versions, but they are at much greater risk for illness earlier on in life. SS That explains nothing and is not even relevant to what she was saying. Her future "illness" is only an excuse for ridicule, not because you give a damn about anyone but yourself. Let's get that out in the open. You are fooling no one. LV I didn't note any ridicule in my post. Just concern. To claim you are as healthy as me is interesting. By what do you guage your health? Care to run several miles with me? Maybe play a couple hours of tennis? Or could you do that? Maybe yes maybe no. If you are happy being overweight then you just go ahead. SS |

LV Hey Robin, Since you're the only one that RAGINGLY INSANE Bobbi Sanchez listens to now that RAGINGLY INSANE Steve Chaney is gone and forgotten from usenet, would you mind translating the posts she reads into very basic terms that Bobbi can understand so she does not needlessly and causelessly attack other posters with her RAGINGLY INSANE attitude like she did this poor woman. If she got help with her extreme stupidity from a friend it might end her spree of random usenet violence and make this a safer place for all of us. TIA Jade PS - also ask stupid Bobbi Sanchez to tell Headcase Rauni and Wonderbra Chaney to turn off the Darth Choad bot. No one is reading it. |
