Taking care of your body and brain through a mix of healthy habits and targeted treatments can help lessen brain fog. Strategies like physical exercise, good sleep, brain training, and advanced treatments such as neurofeedback and non-invasive brain stimulation have shown promise.
There are many ways to ease brain fog. First, try healthy habits like eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, staying active through exercise, and reducing stress. These practices help keep both your body and brain healthy. Second, doing brain exercises—like puzzles, reading, or learning something new—can improve focus and memory. Daily meditation has been shown to improve memory and cognition. Some patients have also found that methods like neurofeedback, which guides your brain to work better through visual or audio signals, can make a difference. Another promising option is non-invasive brain stimulation, where gentle electrical signals are used to improve brain activity and reduce fatigue. This approach is being studied as a possible treatment for long-term COVID-19 symptoms that affect how you think and feel. Finally, a team of professionals from different fields may combine treatments to support overall recovery and help clear the fog. Remember, these strategies are part of a broader plan to help the brain work more clearly.
