Why Is Brain Fog Spiking in India, Here's How You Can Take Care of Your Cognitive Health

Overview

  • Experts report a notable increase in brain fog across India, with many attributing the surge to chronic stress, poor sleep, hormonal shifts and environmental exposures.
  • Residual neurological effects of COVID-19 are a significant factor, with up to 30% of survivors experiencing ongoing concentration deficits and mental fatigue.
  • Brain fog lacks a definitive diagnostic test, so doctors perform physical exams, review mental health and lifestyle factors and order blood work to uncover root causes.
  • Deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids are commonly linked to cognitive haze and should be corrected through diet or supplements.
  • Clinicians recommend a combination of digital detoxes, disciplined sleep routines, brain-boosting diets, regular exercise and stress-management techniques to alleviate symptoms.
