Amazing Brain Facts

The following brain facts are just a few examples of the complexities of your brain. Understanding and knowing these facts allows us to grasp this amazing potential. By applying basic principles daily you can dramatically improve your life.

1) Your brain is involved with everything you do. It is an awesome electrochemical structure of neurons that receive and transmit signals throughout your body. It is truly the inner sanctum of your mind and body.

2) It is affected by everything you do and think. Food, thoughts, supplements, exercise, and brain-training all have a serious impact.

3) The brain is an ever-changing, growing organ. Realizing and understanding this capability gives you the power to change for the better.

4) It weighs less than three pounds, barely two percent of your total body weight. Amazingly, it consumes twenty to thirty percent of all calories you ingest.

5) Your brain consumes approximately twenty percent of the oxygen you inhale. Without a good supply of oxygen neurons fail to generate the energy required to keep your brain healthy.

6) It contains more than a hundred billion neurons. An unfathomable number. All of which work together to form your consciousness. Your consciousness is affected by the health of your brain.

7) Your brain is extremely soft. Surgeons have reported that the brain has a consistancy like that of tofu or avocado -an extremely delicate organ.

8) We use all of our brain, not ten percent as suggested by some. Although, our capacity is considerbly greater than our current level. Our brains will continue to evolve to be even more capable, more amazing, than we can currently conceive.

Our ability to conceptualize and understand will increase dramatically as we evolve. This may be what the 'ten percent' misunderstanding actually means -that its potential may be unlimited. Or, that we have evolved to only ten percent of its potential.

The bottom line is that your brain is an incredible organ. It is complex and mysterious. It needs to be protected and cared for. Consider it the inner sanctum of your mind and body. The better you treat it the better your life will be!
