The less brain tissues are exposed to the action of agents and potentially harmful substances throughout life, the better the functioning of the brain in the future. The shallow g saturated and trans fats, found mainly in partially hydrogenated oils, margarines in solid (not the liquid) and butter, should be avoided as structural components of cell membranes increases its rigidity, as well as have an adverse effect on the profile of blood lipids (increased LDL and decreased HDL), leading to teroesclerosis (hardening of the arteries). The saturated fat also slow gastric emptying into the intestine, slowing digestion and abdominal irrigation favors at the expense of the brain, thereby preventing optimal brain functioning.
