Answer:

Actually, yes: The brain requires a certain amount

of fat to function. If you continue to starve yourself

with calorie control and heavy exercise, you can

cause brain damage.

The number varies across gender, race, etc, but

I believe that if you get under 5% body fat you start

risking all kinds of brain anomalies.

Almost certainly no. Though there does seem to be a correlation between facial features and intelligence.... There are also some studies indicating intelligence and race (a form of body composition) are related. This is really controversial though so I wouldn't recommend ever going there! :P

hello dear,, intellegence is a property of our mind (brain). certainly not based on any of body parts except the brain itself.But general health can affect the capabilties of the person including intellegence.IQ is the equation we use to meausure the intellegence,,,, it is defined as the capacity of the mind ( brain) rather than the intellegence itselfe,,, just as if u measure the capacity of a glass that contains some water .
