Most people drift in and out of brain fog many times during the week, especially at work in mid-afternoon. That’s when they slop down another cup of coffee full of caffeine and sugar or bounce over to the vending machine to purchase a “gimme a lift” candy bar.
Well, as an aging baby boomer I understand wanting to have a clear head with a functioning brain in the ol’ skull cavity, so today I’d like to point out a few healthy foods you can use to dissipate brain fog when it comes rolling in…
The Number One natural brain-boosting favorite health food I’ve used myself and heard about over the years is organic baby spinach.
This probably sounds nuts if you’ve never tried it, but munching a handful or two of raw baby spinach will give you a mental and physical lift like you wouldn’t believe.
Other brain-lifting munchies would include sardines, tuna, turkey, and a good quality green tea. Almonds also work.
Although conventional wisdom would say baloney to this, it’s been my experience that the human brain (and body) function a whole lot better if you remove all grains from your diet.
My old brain gets really dull when I eat grains. A day or two with no grains, and, kaboom, I can think a lot more clearly and experience a lot less brain fog.
Try the tips in this post and then come back here and share your experience, why don’t you?
i’m with you, i follow Dr. Wolfgang Lutz’s program staying at or below 72 grams of carbs a day. Life Without Bread is a great book that shows how many different diseases are improved eating low carb.
Hi Chet,
I used to experience brain fog. Last year I eliminated gluten from my diet, and not only did I feel a lot better, but I no longer have brain fog. I now only eat gluten-free grains like rice. And I agree that sardines are good for your brain.
