Junk foods

-

 



Certain foods have been linked to poor memory and cognitive decline when consumed frequently or in excess. 

Here are some of the top offenders:

1. Sugary Foods & Drinks
 • Excess sugar (especially from sodas, candies, and desserts) can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain.
 • It’s linked to reduced brain volume in the hippocampus — the area involved in memory.

2. Refined Carbs
 • White bread, pastries, white rice, and pasta have high glycemic indexes, causing spikes in blood sugar.
 • These can impair brain function over time, especially memory and attention.

3. Trans Fats
 • Found in processed snacks, baked goods, and some margarine brands.
 • Linked to poor memory, cognitive decline, and increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Highly Processed Foods
 • Chips, instant noodles, fast food, and pre-packaged meals contain preservatives, additives, and low nutrients.
 • These can increase brain inflammation and reduce synaptic plasticity (your brain’s ability to adapt and store new memories).

5. Alcohol (in excess)
 • Chronic excessive drinking damages the hippocampus and impairs both short- and long-term memory.



6. Aspartame (artificial sweetener)
 • Though safe for most people, in high doses it has been linked to behavioral and cognitive issues in some sensitive individuals.

7. Fried Foods
 • High in saturated and trans fats that promote brain inflammation and memory decline.

  Bambawa raja maha viharaya   The legends of the Bambawa Purana Raja maha Viharaya goes back to to time of King Wattagamini Abhaya better known as king Walagamba. The king came to power in 104 BC but invaders from South India captured the capital within the same year. Then for 15 years the king lived in hiding in jungle caves amassing and training a force to attack the invaders. The cave at Bambawa was one of such caves which was used by the king during his exile. When he was living in the cave in Bamba, a native “Vedda” hunter called Sitha had come to the king and informed him that there was another cave nearby much larger and suitable for a king. The king visited this cave and seeing it a much larger cave with better protection, had moved to this new cave, and the vedda had been generously rewarded.

  Fake and real news - As a example we can study 'aragalaya' incident. In this Sri lanka police said that they protected the fighters, and social free fighters. But we saw how they tried to withdraw the fight. Some news observe it only, police helps to fighters and some news display both sides. Fake news  Fake  refers to false or misleading information which masquerades as legitimate news. Generally, fake news falls into two categories: Deliberately inaccurate stories – that is, the people publishing them know them to be false but publish them anyway. This might be to manipulate public opinion or to drive traffic to a specific website. Stories that contain elements of truth but are broadly inaccurate. This might be because the writer hasn’t checked all their facts or has exaggerated certain aspects to make a particular point. Misinformation isn’t a new phenomenon – the term “fake news” was actually used in the 19th century – but the internet and soI don’cial media have tr...
