Brain fog leaves you feeling out of it. And you would really love to “snap out of it.”

Well, you can do something about it, and GenuLines has some points to jog your brain in that direction.

You CAN Reverse Brain Fog

We’ve all experienced mental fog. You feel like your brain is made of cloud puffs instead of brain matter. Its symptoms include:

• Difficulty concentrating

• Diminished memory

• Finding it hard to focus

• Poor communication skills

• Low motivation

• You’re easily distracted

Brain fog is a result of any type of imbalance in the control center of the brain. This control center is ,known as the hypothalamus.

This imbalance can be a result of inflammation. Or free radicals.

Or any type of stress brought on by several factors, such as:

• Multi-tasking

• Exhaustion

• Anxiety

• PTSD

• Imbalanced hormones

• Infections

• Not getting enough sun exposure

• Substance abuse

Mental fog is a natural result of our busy, nonstop lifestyles,. But it shouldn’t happen over and over.

If it does these simple changes can stop it from happening and repeating..

• Eat right

It’s amazing how much power our food has over us. Processed foods, foods high in saturated fats and gluten all have a negative effect on your brain.

In fact a study linked gluten sensitivity to low concentration and poor focus.

Also, not getting enough water into your system can lead to brain freeze.

• Take your vitamins

If your diet lacks antioxidants you can start looking for vitamins, such as D and B complex. Or minerals, such as calcium, zinc and magnesium.

Then look for supplements that work along with your diet. These will provide you with more of the nourishment you’re lacking.

• Get better sleep

We all sleep, but it’s the quality of our sleep that can either make us or break us. High quality sleep improves brain function on a whole.

While it’s ideal to get the full 8 hours each night, some people need only 6 for optimal effectiveness. Find what works best for you.

Then regulate your sleep. Set up a relaxing bedtime routine and a comfortable sleeping area.

• Work out

When you exercise, you send fresh, oxygenated blood to your entire body, mainly your brain. This boosts its cognitive functions and diminishes brain fog.

Studies have shown exercise can improve learning and study skills. Plus it can optimize concentration and memory skills.

• Find a hobby

Even in the busiest of weeks there are ways to work fun, relaxing activities into your schedule. The first step is to carve out some “me” time and stop thinking it’s selfish, as many of us do.

The second step is to find something you enjoy doing just to chill out. It could be meditating by yourself in a quiet room.

Or a class or club where you to meet new people. The final step is to decompress and enjoy.

Brain fog is completely reversible. You need to do the work and find out what works for you.

Each one of us is unique, so it may be a bit challenging at first to find that perfect fit. But you’ll be glad you put in the effort once you regain clarity and be able to perform at your best.
