How fun would it be if we could lose the flab without having to run and sweat it out at the gym everyday and heaving a sigh and having to reject a second or third helping of that chocolate fudge cake?According to
this study now we can.The human brain is a 24-hour workhorse. While you’re thinking, millions of neurons fire messages back and forth to each other and to the various tissues in the body. These neurons need fuel, consuming a full 75 percent of the blood sugar from the liver and 20 percent of the body’s total used oxygen. Here’s how
your neurons feed: Astrocytes—the cells near the capillary walls in your brain—suck energy-rich glucose
from the bloodstream and convert it into a form that the neurons can soak up. The neurons then use it to fuel the production of neurotransmitters and, eventually, conscious thought.All we have to do is exercise our brain with a math book or a puzzle or any sort of mental work. “The more energy an area of the brain wants, the more glucose that part of the brain will break down,” explains neurologist Harry Chugani of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. “So yes, if you’re thinking really hard and really struggling with your thoughts, the neurons in the frontal lobes of your brain will be burning a lot more glucose.”
How about we give our brain some exercise today and burn some calories?So put on your thinking caps and lets get to workout I mean ofcourse mental workout.See how many of these proverbs can you guess?
