Brain fog, memory issues, and difficulty concentrating are common symptoms that can have various underlying causes. They can impact daily functioning and cause frustration. Understanding the potential reasons for declining cognitive function is important for addressing the issue effectively. Here are some common factors and potential solutions:
Sleep Issues. If we’re not sleeping well this will affect our cognitive function. Focus on sleep hygiene by going to sleep before 10pm. From 10pm to 2am is when we get the most regenerative sleep. Limit the screen before bed to help yourself wind down before bedtime.
Poor diet is a main cause for declining cognitive function. A diet high in processed foods, sugar, or lacking in essential nutrients can contribute to cognitive decline. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, healthy meats and healthy fats. Nutrient-rich foods support brain health. At Vital Health, we can provide you with a comprehensive Bio-Functional Analysis that will demystify your approach to great health by giving you an individualized health improvement plan based on your specific needs and imbalances. Instead of asking “doctor internet”, find out what’s really going on inside you and learn how to address it effectively. It will help you get to your best self faster without wasting time and money.
Dehydration can affect cognitive function, leading to difficulty concentrating and remembering things. The brain and other organs, especially the liver, need good hydration to function well. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Aim for half your body weight in ounces per day, max 100 ounces.
And yes, exercise has been shown to have significant positive effects on cognitive function! It increases blood flow to the brain which ensures the brain receives the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function at its best. Exercise encourages the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which helps in the growth, maintenance, and survival of brain cells, contributing to neuroplasticity. Exercise also improves memory and learning: Studies suggest that exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, can enhance hippocampal function, which is critical for memory and learning.
Acupuncture is a “systems approach” to improving mental function. Among many of its benefits, it stimulates the central nervous system and improves blood flow, helping the brain function more efficiently. It’s amazing!
