2. • If you’ve ever suffered from brain fog – and given that you’re reading this
article, we’re sure you have – then you will have a thorough understanding
of just how debilitating this ‘condition’ can be. Brain fog is not a disease, but
is a symptom. For this reason, it’s relatively difficult to treat. In fact,
neurologists don’t really know what it is. They only believe that it exists
because so many people report it.
• Fortunately, there are things that you can do to help yourself to manage
your brain fog. This could include taking a supplement, such as Oxygen
Elements or making lifestyle changes. Below, we are going to explore these
in more depth.
3. Full Medical
• The first thing that you will need to do is visit your doctor for a full medical.
You need to rule out any underlying conditions, or discover them if they
exist. You might find that the symptom is caused by something as simple as
an iron deficiency.
• Your doctor should always be your first port-of-call, but if they don’t respond
to you, then you need to try the things outlined below.
4. Sleep Hygiene
• If you have brain fog, the chances are that you don’t sleep properly.
However, you are going to have to create a routine. This means going to
bed and waking up at roughly the same time every day. There are to be no
more lie ins trying to recoup on lost sleep. (brain fog can make you feel as if
you have unrefreshed sleep, so a mistake that people make is to oversleep,
which simply causes a downward spiral of issues).
5. Here are our top sleep tips:
• Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
• If you're not asleep after 40 minutes, get up and try going to bed later – you
need to make the association that bed is for sleeping only
• No electronics in bed
• No electronics for an hour before bed, but if you must, then wear orange
sunglasses to filter out the light
• Take an hour to wind down – drink a milky drink (no caffeine), read a few
pages from a book, avoid anything overly stimulating, especially social
media
You will find it hard for the first month or two, but stick with it.
7. Exercise and Eating Properly
It’s paramount that you eliminate poor habits as much as possible:
• Stop smoking – use nicotine replacement if you need to. It does work.
• Take at least 20 minutes of exercise a day, even a gentle walk is good
enough to start with
• Eat plenty of fruit and vegetable, again, it will take a month or two to see the
difference, but you will see it. Plus, you'll find that you no longer crave junk
food
• Take supplements that help with brain fog, these include Oxygen Elements,
coenzyme Q10, magnesium (at night), Omega 3 & 6, and folic acid
• Limit your intake of alcohol to once or twice a month at the most, and try to
stick to the healthy ones, such as red wine
