Effect of Obesity on Human Brain

Interesting content here. One paragraph I will discuss.

Does IQ level determines body weight?
Statistically significant correlation between excess body weight and lower IQ level has been demonstrated in multiple studies. What was not clear for very long time is the direction of causality. Does the excess body weight cause the decline in intellectual capabilities? Or maybe people with lower IQ level are more prone to become overweight?
Obesity leads to faster aging of brain

Luckily it seems that gaining my excess weight will not decrease my IQ, it may however increase my brain aging.  My 35 extra pounds needs to go.
