Our brain is basically a high-performance computer. The brain only accounts for 2% of our body weight, but consumes 25% of the energy we consume. The brain processes the input we provide through our sense organs, so it never breaks. Already on the basis of these facts one can imagine how immensely important a good nutrition for the brain is.
The brain is composed of the cerebrum and cerebellum.
The cerebrum consists of a right and a left hemisphere. The cerebrum controls our movements, so to speak. It is also responsible for speech and hearing, intelligence and memory. The right brain controls the left side of the body and the left half controls the right side.
The thalamus is responsible for the sensory impressions of the skin, the eyes and the ears.
The hypothalamus controls hunger, thirst and sleep.
The pituitary gland (pituitary gland) is responsible for the hormone balance.
The cerebellum is responsible for the coordination of our movements.
Our brain consists of several billion nerve cells, each of these cells is connected again with up to 10,000 other nerve cells and receives impulses from these. Nutrients, vitamins and minerals thus have a direct influence on the function of the brain. But not only that, you also have an influence on our mood, concentration and performance.
The brain therefore needs a whole range of substances for optimal function and protection.
