How does anorexia affect the brain?
Too little glucose (found in carbohydrates) can cause the brain to slow down, shrink, and cause a lack of memory. The brain is an organ just like all the organs in the body, so without energy (carbs), it cannot run, and eventually without carbohydrates or any calories in the body, the functioning of the brain will slow so severely that it can cause seizures and strokes.
