Did you know your brain uses 25% of all the oxygen your breathe
The statement about the brain using 25% of all the oxygen we breathe is actually a close estimate, but it's more accurate to say it uses closer to 20%.
Here's a breakdown:
- High Energy User: Despite being only 2% of our body weight, the brain consumes a significant amount of energy, around 20% of the body's total oxygen and calorie intake .
- Constant Supply: Unlike muscles that can store energy, the brain requires a steady supply of oxygen and glucose to function properly.
So, while it's not quite 25%, the brain is definitely a power-hungry organ when it comes to oxygen use!
