💚 Happy Saturday 💚
Most of us will be familiar with the term ‘brain fog’, which is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling of being unable to think clearly and feeling spaced out.
For some people, brain fog might affect memory, while for others it might mean that thinking is slower or reduced, making everyday activities feel more difficult. It can also involve confusion, fatigue, low motivation, trouble concentrating, and/or feeling numb to your emotions.
There are a number of different reasons why brain fog can occur and while it’s something that can be incredibly frustrating and exhausting to deal with, thankfully, there are some things we can do to help improve our thinking and concentration.
Brain fog itself isn’t a medical condition. Instead, it’s a symptom of other factors and medical conditions. Some of the most common reasons for brain fog to occur, include…
-Lack of sleep
-Overworking
-Stress
-Anxiety and/or depression
-Menopause (me 🙃)
-Other hormonal changes, such as thyroid disorders
-Nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamin D or vitamin B12 deficiency
-Food intolerance, for example, gluten intolerance – or allergies/sensitivities to certain foods, including peanuts, dairy, and aspartame
-Poor gut health
-Heavy metal poisoning
-Medication or cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy
-Chronic health conditions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease
-Viral infections, such as COVID-19 (particularly long Covid), H1N1, and SARS
Sometimes brain fog may be caused by several interlinking factors. For example, menopause can cause depression, anxiety, and a lack of sleep, which can also cause brain fog.
💜 Look out for my daily posts for tips on what to do to help you with brain fog.
💚 I will start today with the supplements I take, which help me focus and take care of my gut which is my second brain.
Aloe Vera drinking gel and Focus (the clue is in the name).
The Aloe fills me with nutrients which takes care of my gut and the Focus
