The fast-paced and stressful lives<\/strong> we live tend to have an affect on our mental state<\/strong>, making it difficult to concentrate and think with clarity.<\/strong> Nowadays, there\u2019s a term used to describe this state, known as brain fog.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brain fog can be caused by lifestyle choices,<\/strong> and\/or, secondary effects to medications, but generally speaking, it can be summed up as an inflammatory condition in the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 2 measures that are under our control that we can adopt to revert the situation. The first one is to avoid the foods and patterns that cause brain fog,<\/strong> and on the other hand, include foods that are going to strengthen our organism and reduce inflammation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What foods should we avoid?<\/h4>\n

The foods we should avoid are refined sugars<\/a><\/strong> (table sugar, aspartame, sucrose, saccharin, etc.) and artificial ingredients found in processed foods<\/strong> such as colorants, conservatives and taste enhancers (glutamate).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hydration<\/h4>\n

Another aspect we should consider when boosting brain health,<\/strong> is hydration.<\/strong> More than 70% of our brain is made up of water,<\/strong> therefore, it\u2019s important to consume plenty of liquids,<\/strong> whether it\u2019s by drinking water<\/strong> or including soups, herbal teas, fruits or vegetables in the diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What foods combat brain fog?<\/h4>\n

We recommend eating a diet based on<\/strong> real food<\/strong>, <\/em>such as vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds and algae.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the link between gut and brain health<\/strong> has become an area of interest in medical science, proving that our gut flora<\/a> affects our immunity, mental health, mood and energy levels.<\/strong> In fact, 20% of our neurons are found in the gut. To keep the gut microbiome in check, we need to consume fermented foods<\/a>, such as miso, sauerkraut, kimchee, tempeh and apple cider vinegar.<\/strong> From a nutritional and healing standpoint, we highly recommend miso soup,<\/strong><\/a> as its rich in enzymes, proteins, vitamins and minerals<\/strong>, helping detox the organism, improve digestion and the absorption of nutrients.<\/p>\n

One of the most important vitamins to maintain the nervous system in shape is the vitamin B group.<\/strong> Consuming whole grains is essential, as they are rich in vitamin B. The daily recommended intake should be 20-40% of your diet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like we mentioned, sea vegetables are very rich in minerals<\/strong>, therefore, we should include a small amount of them in our diet every day, whether it\u2019s in salads, soups or snacking on toasted nori.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we must not forget to include leafy greens in our diet.<\/strong> We should aim to include them in all our meals, as they provide one of the best anti-inflammatories, chlorophyll.<\/strong> Including anti-inflammatory foods<\/strong> will keep our organism healthy, <\/strong>as well as avoid brain fog and developing illnesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
