Mental activity is still less energy-consuming than hard physical work.
Intense psychoemotional stress can increase calorie consumption by 20% of the level of rest energy consumption, as a rule, a person is not in such a nervous state for a long time. It should be understood that emotional activity is more energy-consuming than just mental activity. Now, if someone decides every day to solve logarithms that are not given to him, and gets angry and nervous about it, then his daily energy consumption will be 15% higher than that of his colleague, who mainly cultivates a virtual vkontakte farm.
