On top of the caloric volume that our brain requires; each of the macro nutrients play a significant role in the preservation of brain performance, function and structure.
When we choose to consume the majority of our carbohydrates, fat and protein from healthier sources we are able to best utilise the components of these compounds as our brain requires them.
This is why although certain restrictive diets may work in the short term; where the desired outcomes focus is weight loss; in the long term where health is the priority - by limiting your intake or going to the extreme of eliminating a particular macro nutrient altogether you run the risk of causing damage to your brain.
