Dr. Barnard is a leading expert in nutrition in the United States. In the TED & Talks video where he is a speaker, he shared valuable information on the topic “Brain Energy Supplement Foods,” stating that food can help prevent many memory-related diseases.
Fasting challenges the brain. When faced with an energy deficit, the brain activates adaptive mechanisms that help combat stress and protect against disease. Evolutionarily, this makes sense. When hungry, the brain needs to function more effectively to search for food rather than lose its efficiency.

There is a common misconception that humans use only 10% of their brain, while the remaining 90% lies “dormant,” waiting to be unlocked.

As the most complex organ in the body, your brain undergoes significant changes throughout your life. It starts functioning even before birth and continues working after death.
Did you know that the brain is the most extraordinary and truly miraculous organ? Weighing about 1.4kg, the human brain accounts for just 2% of body weight yet consumes up to 20% of the body’s total energy, oxygen, and blood. Remarkably, 60% of the brain’s volume is fat.
For thousands of years, people have practiced meditation to enhance mental, emotional, and physical health. But from a scientific perspective, how does meditation affect the body? And does it truly work? The answer lies in the brain.

Every two seconds, someone in the world has a stroke. One out of every six people will experience a stroke at some point in their lives.
The brain functions throughout our entire life. It is small in weight but requires a lot of energy. If the food we eat does not meet its nutritional needs, memory and brain function will be affected.
