Your Brain’s Worst Enemy REVEALED

Currently, nearly 4 million breast cancer survivors live in the US.
I’m grateful for the high survival rate for such a common type of cancer.
But I’m saddened that, after these women have already been through so much, they’re often left fighting ongoing symptoms.
Fatigue, pain, headaches, dental issues, and bone loss are all common complaints for breast cancer survivors. But troubling cognitive issues or “brain fog” often tops the list.
I wish there was a way to change that—and based on a new study, there just might be.
Cognitive problems often plague breast cancer survivors long after treatment is done—but scientists never really knew why.
Researchers finally identified the likely culprit in a recent study: inflammation.
A long-term study of breast cancer survivors found that women with lower cognitive function had higher levels of a common marker of inflammation called C-reactive protein (CRP).
CRP was already on scientists’ radar as a marker to track heart health. But CRP had never been linked to cognitive function before now.
However, it makes sense that it also would be connected to cognitive function. After all, higher inflammation levels have been shown to negatively impact cognitive processes such as memory, processing speed, and overall cognitive function.
The findings highlight the importance of taming inflammation—whether or not you’ve had breast cancer.
There are a few keys ways to do that which any one of us can manage with just a little extra effort:
- cutting out added sugar
- dumping junk food
- exercising
- getting adequate sleep
- resetting your circadian rhythm with more sun exposure
Whether you’re battling back after a bout with breast cancer or not, these simple steps can help you reverse dangerous chronic inflammation.
P.S. Chronic inflammation is at the root of virtually every major disease or condition you can think of… heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. But researchers have now identified a technique you can do just TWICE a week that supercharges your body’s inflammation-fighting response. And you’re never going to believe what it is.
