AMAZING FACTS ABOUT YOUR BRAIN!!!

1. Your brain can store the entire internet. It can store 1 petabyte (or quadrillion bytes) of information.

2. Your brain has the capacity to generate about 23 watts of power when you are awake.

3. The blood vessels in your brain are almost 100,000 miles in length.

4. On average you experience about 70,000 thoughts each day.

5. Brain waves are even more active while you are dreaming.

6. The brain uses 20% of the body’s energy.

7. Even though the brain uses about 20% of the total blood and oxygen produced in our body, it still stays about 8-10 sec. after the blood supply to the brain stops before it starts loosing consciousness. More so if it gets oxygen, it can survive for 5-6 minutes before it dies.

8. Your brain is said to be the fattest organ in the body. But weighs just 2-3% of the body weight.

9. At certain moments in your life you may be using only 10% of your brain.

10. “People who have injured their brains or who have had part of it removed can still live a fairly normal life”  John Henley a neurologist says, “That is because your brain has a way of compensating and making sure that’s what’s left takes over”. 

If the brain is so amazing, how intelligent and wise will the maker be?
