Eating for Brain Fog

Brain fog is often linked to low omega-3s, iron, B vitamins and choline, or blood sugar swings from fast-digesting carbs.

Omega-3s (oily fish, walnuts, flaxseed) support brain cell structure; choline (eggs) and iron (red meat, spinach, lentils) support alertness and oxygen delivery.

B vitamins (wholegrains, leafy greens, eggs) help convert food into usable energy for the brain specifically.

Pair protein with slow-release carbs (oats, wholegrain, sweet potato) rather than sugary/refined carbs, to avoid the energy dip that follows a quick blood-sugar spike.
