At one point or another, you’ve likely experienced that “out of it” feeling—but when is it time to seek professional help?
Occasional bouts of “brain fog”—defined as a subjective sense of cognitive impairment that may manifest in several ways—are common, chronic brain fog can affect day-to-day functioning and potentially even diminish quality of life, according to the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
How to Improve Brain Fog
There are many potential causes of brain fog such as stress, sleep habits, poor nutrition, side effects of medication, and a COVID-19 infection, to name a few. Although treatment of brain fog largely depends on its underlying causes, there are some steps one can take to improve cognitive function:
1) Enough sleep: This also includes avoiding stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and screens before bed.
2) Managing stress: Practicing relaxation through breathwork or meditation as well as seeking professional help from a mental wellness facilitator can assist in mitigating stress.
3) Eating a healthy and balanced diet. Having a proper diet that consists of foods that contain vitamin D and vitamin B12, as well as minerals such as zinc and magnesium to help ensure your body is getting what it needs.
4) Exercising: A regular routine can improve blood circulation and oxygen delivery, as well as help to reduce stress.
5) Stimulating the brain: Challenging the brain with activities centered on problem-solving, memory and logic can help keep your mind activated. Activities such as learning a new skill or language, working on a puzzle, and games that involve memory or reading all can help challenge the brain.
6) Medication treatment: Experts note there may be medication options to help increase brain function. It’s important to visit with the right medical specialist to discuss your options.
Living with occasional brain fog can be disruptive to anyone’s life. More importantly, as it can stem from any number of issues. One should be examined by a medical professional if it occurs with any sort of regularity.
