Why do you eat?

• You’re bored
• You have a craving
• The clock says it’s time to eat
• It’s a special occasion
• Your grand[mother] made your favorite dessert
• Your brain (and the rest of your body) needs nutrients

It can be easy to forget this last one, but it’s the original and only reason why all living creatures must eat.

To build and maintain your cells, you need raw materials (parts) and a fuel source (energy), and these come from macronutrients, micronutrients, oxygen, sunlight, and water.

Macronutrients are versatile molecules we use in large amounts: protein, fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrate. All of these can be used as building blocks to construct vital brain components like membranes that surround every cell and keep its contents organized. Macronutrients can also be burned for energy.

Micronutrients are substances we use in small amounts to help build, maintain, and energize the brain. These include vitamins (complex molecules), minerals (simple salts), and essential fatty acids. Like a construction site without workers or tools, without micronutrients, all you’d have is a pile of construction materials and an energy source, with no way to use either one.

In our quest to understand which foods best nourish, protect, and energize the brain, let’s embark on a tour of the brain’s interior to learn what it’s made of and how it works.

So why do you eat?
