成人快手

Brain fog is a colloquial umbrella term for what is technically called Cognitive Impairment.

It includes problems like difficulty concentrating or with your memory, as well as confusion and a general 'fuzzy' feeling.

Causes can include:

• The menopause and peri-menopause
• Infections
• Covid and Long-Covid
• Autoimmune conditions like Lupus disease and Celiac disease
• Sub-par gut health

Managing brain fog symptoms:

• Ensure you have enough vitamin B in your diet (whole grains; beans and legumes, dairy, eggs, meat, fish, and fortified cereals)
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption
• Prioritise fibre in your diet for better gut-health (wholegrain rice/bread/pasta, apples, pears, beans, seeds – and fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, live yoghurt and kefir)
• Increase your intake of polyphenol rich foods (blueberries, green tea, and beans)
• Ensure you are taking vitamin D, especially in the autumn and winter months of the year
• Focus on a good night’s rest
• Make lists to manage stress
• Include regular physical activity
