The brain: our hungriest organ

Our brains account for 2% of our weight, but ¹ reduce / consume 20% of the energy that our bodies ² produce / digest after eating. When we sleep, our brains continue to ³ burn / produce energy because they are still working. They ⁴ process / burn all the day's activities and create memories. The brain also repairs itself, but if we don't sleep enough, it ⁵ reduces / burns the time that our brains have for this work. Having fewer hours of sleep also affects our diets, as it is more difficult for our brains to ⁶ control / process our weight if we don't sleep enough. If we want to ⁷ consume / boost our brains' energy levels, we should do exercise. Exercise pumps blood full of oxygen to our brains.
