Title: Food for thought... Body fat and Brain function
Post by: fast does lie on February 20, 2020, 05:23:25 am

We know the brain is primiarily made up of fat. Now is there any possibility as we get leaner that it would hurt some of our brain functions and cognitive abilities?

It's proven that sub 5% body fat is unhealthy, but what about as we go from 20 to 10%?

I can't imagine any issues going from 20 to 10. This suggests higher fat had detrimental cognitive impact.
