Majo,
Our brains need carbohydrates.

Organ Function
Because all organs are made up of cells, and all metabolically active body cells need fuel, carbohydrates are important to the function of all your organs.
The brain, in particular, depends upon carbohydrates.
While most cells can burn carbohydrates, protein or fat for energy, the brain preferentially burns glucose. Your muscles also burn glucose preferentially during periods of particularly intense effort, such as during a sprint or if you're lifting a very heavy weight.
