Stronger I get. But could you detail smarter? I know that through certain biological processes and thought exercises you can build the brain's capacity, but I am unaware that you have to be physically healthy for this.

    Poor nutrition has been correlated with a lack of success across all dimensions for generations... Including intelligence on every measure.

    It was new to me that too much food is also called malnutrition, so that was my point of misunderstanding. I always thought that if you ate wayyyy too much food but it was healthy, it would be nutritionally good, but otherwise bad.

    Meaning you could eat good, but still destroy your body with it. Wikipedia says that ain't so.
