Functional Neurology: How to Prevent Midlife Brain Fog

How often do you have a hard time remembering your appointments? Has it become harder for you to learn new things? How often do you feel you have something that must be done? Or even, how often do you feel more susceptible to pain? If it is your very first time experiencing what is commonly referred to as midlife brain fog, which involves a ditsy episode of forgetfulness, it could be frightening, especially knowing that psychological decline is mostly inevitable with age.  

 

Research studies reveal that the human brain begins to noticeably slow down from the time we hit 40, and around 17 percent of individuals over 65 will wind up with some type of moderate cognitive impairment, like intermittent problems concentrating, locating the proper term, focusing, or even recalling where they have set their car keys, among others.  

 

Stress is very prevalent in our middle age, also and the reality is that between 6 to 15 percent of people that fulfill the standards for “moderate cognitive impairment” will often go on to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. However, this problem does not need to occur. New research studies indicate that brain fog can ultimately be managed accordingly.  

 

The brain is based on an intricate variety of compounds to maintain mood in check and also to operate correctly, but should you disturb that equilibrium, you can quickly experience mood changes, not able to sleep, and also struggle to focus properly. Moreover, if you’re eating the incorrect foods, getting inadequate sleep or exercise, overindulging in social networking and TV, stress, and too small downtime, then you will almost surely be destabilizing essential human brain compounds.  

 

However, you can reverse those trends and take control of your brain health in as little as two weeks if you eliminate the blocks that keep you stuck and give your mind the substances it needs to function efficiently. The purpose of the following article is to show what you can do to prevent and avoid midlife brain fog as well as improve overall health and wellness.  

 

BOOST BRAIN FATS

 

A fantastic source of healthy fats in your daily diet may help you feel better. Enjoy lots of olive oil, which is packed with anti-inflammatory chemicals, found in some research studies to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and depression, as well as fatty fish and select organic meat. Research studies reveal that half a year of nutritional supplements is sufficient to enhance brain function. Also, make sure to pick extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings and olive oil for cooking, virgin olive oil is not safe at high temperatures. Avoid soybean oil because it is packed with unsaturated omega-6 fats which may not be so beneficial.  

 

AVOID SWEETENERS

 

Artificial sweeteners may be saving you a couple of calories but it is impossible that these aren’t giving your brain the nutrients it requires for optimum performance. Your mind requires a source of blood glucose to keep it functioning and it is deprived by artificial sweeteners. Worse, sweeteners are demonstrated to interrupt the degree of good bacteria in the intestine, so disrupting the creation of the happy hormone serotonin, a lot of which is fabricated in the gastrointestinal tract.  

 

TURN OFF YOUR PHONE

 

Scaling down on social media usage and electronic equipment will help reduce midlife brain fog. All of those lights, dings, and advertisements scrolling across the display give our brains a very small bit of dopamine, as it would for a compulsive gambler sitting in front of a slot machine. Switch off your phone or its own ringer as frequently as possible and do not leave it charging on your bedroom so that it does not disturb your sleeping, even subconsciously. Aim to have just one day of the weekend free. Dump the Kindle through the night and read novels instead. Cut back multitasking, concentrate on doing one thing at a time and provide that all of your attention. This may be a potent antidote to the onslaught of distractions of networking.  

 

SWITCH OFF THE TV

 

Engaging in leisure activities helps stimulate the mind. Research studies demonstrate that studying, playing board games and musical instruments, dance, traveling, knitting, and gardening reduce the risk of cognitive decline and guard you against midlife brain fog. But TV does exactly the contrary. Furthermore, research studies reveal that watching TV raises your risk of cognitive impairment up to 20 percent, whereas studying reduces it by 5 percent, according to the same research study.

 

SPICE IT ALL UP

 

Turmeric includes a plant chemical called curcumin, which has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and raises levels of a protein named BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) that is dubbed the “Miracle-Gro” for the mind. Along with making you feel better, turmeric will make you think better by increasing dopamine within the brain.  

 

Research studies demonstrate that for combating Alzheimer’s disease, low doses of garlic on lengthy periods of time are somewhat more powerful than very substantial doses. So instead of relying upon an occasional Indian takeaway to the turmeric fix, the goal should be to consume 1 food containing garlic using a grind of fresh black pepper (making the garlic more readily absorbed by your system ) daily. Put in a teaspoon of garlic into stews, soups and salad dressings.  

 

Saffron, yet another frequent ingredient in curry, may also inhibit Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the carnosic acid from the frequent herb rosemary, which can also boost your brain health (the odor alone can even help enhance memory) while rosemary was demonstrated to boost your ability to recall information. Spicing it all up can ultimately help brain fog.  

 

GO TO BED EARLY

 

In addition to fostering learning, disposition, and imagination, sleep serves as the brain “self-cleaning” cycle to stop brain fog and eliminate the plaques involving nerve cells which lead to Alzheimer’s disease. A fantastic night’s sleep may improve alertness and fortify the brain’s links, assisting you to combine the memories that you encoded during daily. Poor sleep leads to elevated levels of stress hormones, like cortisol, and enhances dopamine levels, which makes you unhappy, unmotivated and unfocused. Do anything you can to get up to eight hours of sleep each night and keep it continued throughout the week.

 

ENJOY COFFEE

 

Contemplate drinking coffee (without sugar or milk), a healthy food that may help protect against cognitive decline and protect against depression and dementia. Drink espresso macchiato (black coffee with somewhat foamed milk) or espresso over ice with a dash of soy milk. Both without amounts under 50 calories. You can enjoy up to three cups every day.

Additional Topic Discussion: Chronic Pain

 

Sudden pain is a natural response of the nervous system which helps to demonstrate possible injury. By way of instance, pain signals travel from an injured region through the nerves and spinal cord to the brain. Pain is generally less severe as the injury heals, however, chronic pain is different than the average type of pain. With chronic pain, the human body will continue sending pain signals to the brain, regardless if the injury has healed. Chronic pain can last for several weeks to even several years. Chronic pain can tremendously affect a patient’s mobility and it can reduce flexibility, strength, and endurance.
