Brain fog can be maddening, especially when you’re trying to focus on something important. The phenomenon is characterised by forgetfulness, confusion, slow reactions and a dip in concentration and it can be caused by a number of things.
Tiredness, hunger and staring at a screen for too long can all cause clouded thinking and leave you reaching for a word or a phrase that you just can’t put your finger on, despite knowing what you want to say. Poor nutrition can also lead to issues with cognitive function, especially if your diet is missing vital nutrients like B vitamins, lutein and Omega-3.
