The Brain... Train with your food and habits!

By HiRaj | Let's prioritize our health | 13 Mar 2026


Dear Friends,

We all know that only 2% of body weight... but 20% of power! Is your brain a 'petrol' engine?

Our brain is a strange organ. Although it only makes up 2% of the total body weight, it consumes 20% of the energy from the food we eat.
Why does the brain consume so much energy? This energy is not spent just on thinking; this 'mega' power is needed to control the entire movement of the body.

The powerhouse of the brain: Mitochondria
To produce this much power, a brain cell has thousands of times more mitochondria than other body cells. These are the "power plants" that convert food into energy.

Two types of fuels: which is better?
The brain uses two types of fuels:
Glucose: It is like ordinary 'gas'.
Ketones: It is like high-grade 'petrol'.

Why do cells age? (The Science of Aging)

There are two main reasons why our cells become damaged and the brain ages quickly:

1. Oxidation: Oxygen is needed to burn fuel, but it also causes 'rust'.
2. Glucose: When sugar is burned in excess, it causes cells to age quickly.

The ketones obtained through the Paleo diet reduce the damage caused by this oxygen and glucose and significantly delay brain aging.
Other benefits of the Paleo diet:

Calm brain: Paleo balances the chemicals that stimulate and calm the brain. This is beneficial for people with ADHD and Schizophrenia.
New cell formation: The protein BDNF secreted in it acts like a 'fertilizer' for the brain and creates new cells. This prevents Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Garbage removal: Ketones remove old protein waste (Plaques) that accumulate in the brain.

The decision is in your hands!

The brain is the car. You can drive a gasoline car on gas (carbs) and it will run well.

But if you drive it on gasoline (ketones), the car will run even better and healthier for a long time.

Wishes for a happy and healthy life!
