5 Fixes to BLOW AWAY Brain Fog

As research on the aging brain advances, it’s becoming more apparent that mitochondrial dysfunction is a big part of the picture.
As you might recall, mitochondria are the microscopic energy factories inside our cells. But just like us, they get old and tired.
Some die off altogether, and the ones left don’t work as well.
And that’s a problem. Because if your mitochondria stop functioning efficiently—or your body isn’t making enough new ones— you’ll experience an energy shortage.
The good news is that you can “RECHARGE” tired mitochondria, reverse age-related mitochondrial dysfunction, and BOOST your brain power.
The average human brain has about 86 billion neurons.
Each neuron may be connected to up to 10,000 other neurons, passing signals to each other via as many as 1,000 trillion synaptic connections—all of which are critical for memory and cognition.
New evidence shows these synaptic connections need healthy mitochondria to function properly. If they become sluggish, they’re less efficient… like the batteries slowly running down in your remote.
In your brain, that translates to brain fog, difficulty concentrating, memory slips, and the like.
But you CAN turn the tide by adopting the following five lifestyle changes that can BOOST your mitochondria.
- Practice regular cold exposure and exercise. Both activities stimulate the release of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1#\), a protein that’s a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. This means regular physical exercise and exposure to cold can improve the process of making new mitochondria, giving your brain an energy boost.
- Manage your stress. New research suggests that mitochondria sense psychologic stress mediators such as the adrenal hormones. Stress is linked to poorer brain function. So, having a technique to help reduce/manage stress—such as prayer, meditation, yoga, sun exposure, and exposure to nature—can help your brain’s mitochondria function better.
- Take a daily probiotic to help you maintain a diverse microflora in your gut. This helps with the energy transfer from your food to your mitochondria.
- Add mitochondrial boosters to your diet. Numerous compounds found in the diet—like resveratrol in red wine and catechins in green tea—improve mitochondrial function leading to better BRAIN function.
- Decrease exposure to non-native electromagnetic fields (EMFs), like you get from computers, tablets, smartphones, and other electronic devices, since they negatively affect the mitochondria, leading to accelerated brain aging.
