Introduction:
The brain is the center of the nervous system.<br /> New scientific research on the brain tells us how food, exercise, learning and lifestyle effect the development of the human brain.<br /> <br /> The brain is made up of 75% water and is 2% of the total body weight (compared to 0.15% of an elephant’s brain), meaning humans has the largest brain to body size.<br /> The brain uses 20% of the total oxygen in your body and consists of about 100 billion nerve cells. The average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experience each day is 70,000. Every time you recall a memory or have a new thought, you are creating a new connection in your brain. Laughing at a joke is no simple task, as it requires activity in five different areas of the brain.<br /> <br /> Scientists are looking into the development of the brain in connection to what we eat and how much we exercise. A new study of one million students in New York showed that students who ate lunches that did not include artificial flavors, preservatives, and dyes did 14% better on IQ tests than students who ate lunches with these additives. Studies have been made that prove the brain functions better with more exercise.<br /> Scientists have also found that the nerve cells develop at the rate of 250,000 nerve cells per minute during early pregnancy and that stimulating environments for a child can make the difference in the ability to learn. Music lessons have shown to considerably boost brain organization and ability to learn in both children and adults.<br />
