Instead, the term is often used by clinicians as a catch-all for patients that describe having absent-mindedness or not feeling as sharp as usual.
This does not include days when you may have had alcoholic drinks or high amounts of sugar - We'd all expect to have brain fog the following day.
Some Of The Symptoms Commonly Associated With Brain Fog Include:
Loss of mental sharpness
Low energy
Struggle to exercise
Difficulty prioritizing and managing tasks
Problems with verbal fluency
Irritability
Moodiness
Forgetfulness
Worsening brain fog under stress, which some call “stress dementia.”

Consistent high-quality sleep, regular exercise, good nutrition, and MCT Oil
1) Exercise
Exercise has been shown to improve cerebral blood flow and executive function.
A sedentary lifestyle is a great way to make your brain feel foggy.
Our brains consume about 20% of our body's glucose because it takes so much energy for our brain to do everything it does.
The brain is also unable to store energy the way our muscles and liver can.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, two clinical trials reported that MCT Oil improved cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease patients who do not carry the APOE4 genotype but were ineffective for APOE4 carriers [6][7].
In other words, it not only improves brain fog but also protects against Alzheimer's disease and other brain-related diseases.
MCT oil is dietary fat, like olive oil or coconut oil.
Your body turns MCTs into molecules called ketones.
Studies have shown that ketones are a source of energy that helps burn fat, carbs, cravings, and power the brain.
There are many promising benefits of MCT Oil:
Use 1 tbs in coffee, tea, or a protein drink, one time per day.
MCT oil is not new.
And the news of it is helping people get into and stay into ketosis (fat burning) isn't new either.
However, the positive associations with lower glucose, insulin and HA1c are extremely positive.
Furthermore because of the breath of the research I've failed to mention the positive effects of MCT on lowering the risk of Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, and Heart Disease.
Lastly, I am the first one to tell you MCT OIL doesn't work in a vacuum.
Although there are some demonstrated positive effects on losing weight and lowering blood glucose even if a person is not following the Right Diet, those benefits will be limited however, the positive associations with lower glucose, insulin, and HA1c are extremely positive.
I don't want to lull you into a false sense that you can eat cereal pizza and ice cream and still have positive effects on your health by just taking MCT OIL.
It's not magic.
But it's extremely effective in helping increases fat loss, lowering blood sugar, insulin, and other important health factors.
