Brain fog is a common symptom among menopausal women but there are a range of foods that can help to target and prevent brain fog - including leafy greens and fish
Brain fog, which can affect concentration, memory, focus and overall cognitive function, is a common symptom among women going through menopause.In light of World Menopause Month in October, Dr Donald Grant, GP and senior clinical advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, has shed light on these beneficial foods, explaining their nutritional benefits and how they can help to combat brain fog.
Dr Grant stated: "Fish are full of nutrients that are good for our brains. Fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a crucial nutrient that helps enhance brain function, reduce inflammation and support general function including memory. This is even supported by science, with a study highlighting that a diet rich in fatty fish is beneficial for cognitive function - and can even protect against conditions such as Alzheimer's," reports Surrey Live.
On the topic of avocados, Dr Grant explained their benefits for menopausal women. "Additionally, avocados are a great choice for menopausal women for a couple of reasons. Firstly, they're high in monounsaturated fats - a healthy fat type that improves blood flow to the brain, helping maintain healthy function. Furthermore, potassium and magnesium can be found in the fruit - two key minerals for mood regulation, another struggle of menopausal life.
