Brain Health

Mental Health Depends Upon Brain Health

There is still a stigma when it comes to mental health issues. Sadly this stigma is making us sicker! People are often ashamed or afraid to talk about mental health concerns and this attitude is proving to be negative on health overall.

Mental health is something that impacts every single one of us, young and old, male and female. Let's help reduce the stigma by talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Have you ever heard we only use 10 percent of our brain power? This is a common myth believed by two-thirds of the population! This is a false assumption. While there may be moments, such as when we are at rest, that only a small portion of the brain is in use, we regularly use virtually every part of the brain and most of the brain is active almost all of the time.

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

The brain acts as the main command center for every function, though, and feeling we experience. The average human brain weighs approximately 3 pounds and uses 20% of the body’s energy.

Most of the energy consumed by the brain is attributed to the rapid firing of millions of neurons communicating with each other. The rest is used for both voluntary and involuntary activities such as driving a car or controlling body temperature respectively.

Even though we know the brain is responsible for making us function, so little is known about how it works. So it's not that we only use 10 percent of our brain power rather we only understand 10 percent of how it functions.
