Calcium is water soluble, but not fat soluble. It is the fifth most dissolved ion in seawater. On the other hand, fat is soluble into calcium in the body. The calcium will exâ¦tract the fat from food in the digestive system, and they combine to form a foamy substance which is not absorbed by the body, and so the fat will be flushed out.
Studies show that it is about 20 percent of the resting metabolic rate, which is about 1,300 calories a day, not of the total metabolic rate, which is about 2,200 calories a day, so the brain uses roughly 300 calories.
An adult brain weighs about 1.5kg (3.3lb) and contains about 90 billion nerve cells. As well as nerve cells our brains have about 90 billion other cells, plus blood vessels to help supply the nutrients and oxygen it needs. During dementia, nerve cells in different areas of the brain become damaged and eventually die.
