A member asked:

Can going on a weight loss diet affect brain power and revision?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: A well balanced diet is essential for optimal brain function. If a person's diet is deficient in certain essential vitamins or minerals, this can negatively affect brain function. Likewise, restricting overall calorie intact can often make people feel sluggish. That being said, establishing a normal body weight is good for overall health.
