                                A 2018 study from National University highlighted that the brain, despite being only 2% of body weight, consumes about 20% of daily energy. This immense energy demand means that what you eat directly impacts your cognitive function, so the question isn't just *if* you learn better after eating, but *what* and *when* you should eat.
