Fun and Fascinating Facts About the Human Brain...

The brain is the most miraculous and multifaceted of all body parts. The most intriguing and mystifying part of the human body. It performs innumerable functions simultaneously within a split second and is the most studied organ.

Here are some remarkable brain facts not known by many people with a fully functional brain:

The human brain, weighs only about 3lbs. (around 1.5 kg.), makes up just 2% of the body weight and uses around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood. 75% of the total brain mass is water.

It is the fattest organ in the body, contains 100 billion neurons or nerve cells (15 times the total human population on earth) and a trillion glial cells and has around 150,000 miles of blood vessels.

Good nutrition is of utmost importance to brain health and functioning. Dieting can force the brain to eat itself, according to scientists. Malnourished fetuses and infants suffer from cognitive and behavioral deficits, slower motor and language development and lower I.Q. Babies brains use up almost 50% of the total glucose supply, which might be one of the reasons why babies sleep so much.
