                                The human brain, though it makes up only about 2% of a person's body weight, astonishingly consumes around 20% of the body's total energy intake. This remarkable energy demand means the food we eat directly and profoundly impacts our cognitive function, mood, and mental clarity, making nutrition a critical factor for brain health.
