Your brain allows you to ride a bike, read a book, laugh at a joke, and remember your friend's phone number.Your brain controls your emotions, appetite, sleep, heart rate, and breathing. Your brain is who you are and everything you will be.
Our brain is sometimes compared to a computer. Like a computer, your brain needs energy. Plug your computer into the wall, push a button, and it will get the power it needs to run. Pull the plug and it will shut down.
Your brain operates in a different way. It gets its energy in the form of glucose from the food you eat. Your diet also provides essential materials, such as vitamins and minerals, for proper brain function.
However, unlike a computer, your brain has no off switch.
Even when you are asleep, your brain is active.
The adult human brain weighs between 1300 g and 1400 g (approximately 3 lbs). A neuron is a nerve cell. The brain is made up of approximately 100 billion neurons.
Neurons are similar to other cells in the body in some ways such as:
- Neurons are surrounded by a membrane.
- Neurons have a nucleus that contains genes.
- Neurons contain cytoplasm, mitochondria and other "organelles".
However, neurons differ from other cells in the body in some ways such as:
Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body.
Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process.
Neurons form specialized connections called "synapses" and produce special chemicals called "neurotransmitters" that are released at the synapse.
A shortage of these neurotransmitters, or, if they are "out of balance", you and your brain will not function normally.
In other words, your brain is not getting the proper engery so that you can be you.
This engery comes from sources of vitamins, minerals and amino acids which fuels the brain so that your body can produce neurotransmitters.
We normally get these from our food, or with nutritional supplements. If our food doesn't give us enough of these ingredients then we need supplementation.
The Human Brain Is Very Capable Of Automatically Manufacturing The Quantity Of Chemicals It Needs IF It Is Given The Raw Materials (Nutrients From Foods) To Do So! |
