Nutrition goes beyond just macronutrients as micronutrients and signals sent by food can affect health and how the body processes calories. Consuming processed foods can lead to decreased BDNF levels, impacting brain health and potentially linking to issues like depression and dementia.

This underlines that the body's reaction to food is not solely about calories in, calories out, but also about the intricate ways different nutrients influence metabolism and overall health.
