Running during the day, doing sports or applying diet sometimes does not feel enough to lose weight. Don’t question the interest of this with more thinking, because it has a lot of interest!
Thinking a lot is not as awful as we think. Because it causes us to burn more calories than the usual. How?
Is it enough to tire the brain just to lose weight?
Some human beings can only burn thousands of calories a day using their brain. Moreover, without even moving! How can this be possible properly?
In fact, this event was identified in the chess champion and later on research. Anatoli Karpov, who was the champion in the chess in 1984, started with the weakening of the level to give a stone. Karpov, who lost 10 kilos during the tournament, burned approximately 6,000 calories a day.
There is no need to do physical activity to consume energy.
Because our brain works for a quiet power plant even when we never move. Of course, this does not confirm the arguments that weakening with the power of intent. But if we look at scientific research, we can burn more calories.
Although our brain constitutes approximately 2 %of the body load, it is responsible for 20 %of the power consumed while resting. Most of this power is used in basic functions to produce and transport nerve signals.
Compared to the calculations, the brain burns 0.18 calories per minute.
This measure corresponds to one -fifth of the power spent by a LED bulb of 5 Watts. In other words, our brain is not as bright as a bulb, but it is always a “shining” organ. With all this information, the experts carried out an experiment to test the effect of more thinking in calories.
The persons who participated in the experiment faced strong missions to solve complex mathematical problems or to deal with puzzles. In the meantime, the level of glucose in the blood of individuals decreased. Brain scans confirmed that the use of glucose increased in this process.
However, the numbers are far from meeting expectations.
Intensive mental activity provides only 1.3 calories extra burning compared to the rest of the rest. Even if we assume that the length of the day is uninterrupted, this reaches up to 50 calories of extra power consumption. So even to burn 1 slice of bread, you need to solve the equation for hours.
The strength requirement of the brain increases with a finite effort. If you make a 1-hour heavy book reading session, you can burn approximately 10-15 calories. Naturally, if we integrate this into a physical activity, we can word after 150-200 calories burning. Thinking only on the occasion is that although it is effective in calorie burning alone, it is not enough.
Of course, everything is at the beginning of the power of thought and belief.
