Weight & Memories

It turns out losing weight may not just change your body image and improve your physical health.  A new study has concluded that weight loss may also improve brain power.  The study was conducted on 150 overweight people, whose memories and attention were tested again after gastric bypass surgery, and were found to have improved significantly.  Other studies and theories have pointed to this possibility before, but now there is solid evidence.  However, there is also room for more studies to figure out exactly why these two things are correlated.  But, for now, there is one more motivation to get fit!
