Does Thinking Hard Hurt Your Brain?
Ekphrasis8y60

For me, thinking hard literally depletes glucose.

I can tell when my blood sugar drops because I get lightheaded and can't think as clearly. I've confirmed that such a feeling corresponds to blood sugar levels using a glucometer, and I feel that way at more frequent intervals (and thus require more snacking) when I'm thinking hard.
