[2023·长春市高三质量预测四]It's hard t turn dwn hamburgers, French fries, ptat chips and all f the ther junk fd that seem t call ut t us. Hwever, eating t much junk fd can harm yur bdy, particularly if yu're between the ages f 10 and 19.
“Junk fd shapes adlescent brains in ways that weaken their ability t think, learn and remember. It can als make it harder t cntrl impulsive behavirs，” said Amy Reichelt, a brain and nutritin specialist at Western University, Canada. “It may even up a teen's risk f depressin and anxiety.”
Reichelt and tw ther researchers fund adlescents are mre sensitive than any ther age grup t prcessed fds with a lt f fat and sugar. Adlescent brains are still develping the ability t assess risks and cntrl actins. The prefrntal crtex is the part f the brain that tells us we shuldn't eat chips all the time and helps us resist that urge.

Exercise als cause the bdy t make a prtein that helps brain cells grw and bsts cnnectins between the prefrntal crtex and ther brain regins. The prefrntal crtex thus can wrk better t help us make wise decisins and cntrl ur impulses.
