The brain being mostly fat always amazed me, especially since there’s so much fear around eating fats. Back in my nursing days, I saw so many people who were so careful to avoid fats, not realizing that certain ones—like omega 3s—are crucial for brain function and memory. When food shortages or times of stress hit,

Always found it wild how the brain’s basically a lump of fat with some electricity running through it. That bit about negative views on dietary fat is spot on—people forget we literally need fats to think straight! I remember reading somewhere that during extended survival situations, the body really craves fat because it’s such a dense energy source, especially for keeping your mind sharp when food’s scarce. Here’s a weird related fact: the myelin sheath (kind of like insulation on electrical wires) around your nerves is mostly fat too, and if you don’t get enough healthy fats, your nerves can’t transmit signals properly. Makes you think twice about cutting out all fats from your supplies.

In terms of preparedness, I always stash canned fish and nuts for that exact reason—brains need feeding as much as bodies do. Ever tried going a few days on low-fat rations? Makes your thinking cloudy real quick. OldTimerJohn, now I’m curious: has anyone else here actually noticed mental

Cutting out fat used to be all the rage, but it’s so important for the brain, especially with aging. I’ve always made sure to include things like walnuts and sardines in my pantry for emergencies—those healthy fats make a noticeable difference in mood and memory for me. Seeing patients on strict low-fat diets struggle with confusion or forgetfulness really stuck with me. Anyone else here notice feeling “off” mentally when skimping on fats for a while?
