Does Thinking Burn Calories?
Contrary to popular belief, most of the energy your body uses doesn’t have much to do with movement or exercise.
“As an energy-consumer, the brain is the most expensive organ we carry around with us,” says Dr. Marcus Raichle, a professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Although the brain makes up just 2% of a person’s total body weight, it accounts for 20% of the body’s energy use.
During a typical day, a person uses about 320 calories just to think!
