How to Clear Brain Fog and Regain Mental Clarity

There are a number of causes of brain fog. Some of the most common are:

• Fatigue
• Stress
• Food allergies
• Chemical exposure
• Depression
• Medication side effects
• Medical conditions like MS, fibromyalgia, iron deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, or menopause

Treatment for brain fog depends on the cause. If you suspect your brain fog is connected with a medical condition, seek the assistance of your primary care physician immediately.

Making some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce or get rid of brain fog if it’s not caused by a medical condition. Here are five ways to lift brain fog naturally…

1. Avoid toxins. You’re already feeling poisoned so why add to your load by smoking tobacco or marijuana, consuming alcohol, and abusing drugs?

2. Eat brain-healthy food and drink water. Don’t skip meals. Avoid inflammatory producing items like saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and sugar. Choose lean proteins, healthy fats, and lots of beans, fruits, and vegetables.

3. Support your brain as it cleans itself. You need plenty of restorative sleep to allow the brain time to clear out wastes from the day’s activities.

4. Get moving. Physical activity increases your blood flow to your brain. More blood means more oxygen, which stimulates the growth of new cells and blood vessels in the brain.

5. Enjoy the sunshine. We need the full spectrum light from the sun to get our daily dose of Vitamin D, as well as, enabling our bodies to produce the energy required for cell repair and regeneration.
