Brain fog (also known as cognitive dysfunction) is an interesting condition that affects men and women of all ages. Brain fog is characterized by a state of confusion, or a decreased level of clarity. Simply put, it is a condition that can cause forgetfulness and trouble concentrating. It is not technically recognized as a medical disorder, although most health professionals agree that it exists. Brain fog is a real condition and not a reflection of a person's intelligence.
It can be anything from losing the car keys often to forgetting an answer to a test question you know you know. It can be someone asking you a question and you go blank. It can be forgetting what you are doing. Today surfing the internet can be a form of brain fog. You sit down to research a topic and the next thing you know you have forgotten what you were doing in the first place.
Causes
There are several possible causes of brain fog. The first and likely the most common is fatigue. Lack of sleep can wreck havoc on your mind as well as your body. Getting enough sleep is the best way to prevent this condition. That is much easier said than done! Avoiding caffeinated drinks in the evening is a good start. It is also a good idea to keep evening activities as calm as possible. Limiting distractions from the television or computer can also help increase your quality of sleep.
Stress
Stress is another common cause of brain fog. Stress can over stimulate the brain and cause all sorts of trouble with concentration and memory. Lowering stress levels is not always easy, but there are several ways to do it. Getting a good night of sleep, eating healthfully and even yoga are all good places to begin.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Nutrient deficiencies are another problem that can lower brain function and lead to brain fog. Eating correctly the most important thing you can do, but sometimes it is not enough. Supplements such as B-vitamins, zinc and omega 3's can be taken for this problem. Keep in mind that it may take supplements a couple of weeks to build up in your system.
Depression
Depression can also lead to brain fog. Exercise is one of the best ways to combat depression. Eating right, sleeping well and exercise are other great ways to ease depression symptoms. Depression can't always be cured naturally, and it is important to remember that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance. Many swear by natural remedies however, and exercise is certainly the best place to start.
