Brain fog is a term used by individuals to describe how they feel when their thinking is sluggish, fuzzy and not sharp. Many people who have tested positive or recovered from the acute, life-threatening effects of COVID-19 still feel they are suffering from brain fog. To help clear it, pursuing these activities may help.

Exercise:

You may need to start slow, perhaps just two to three minutes of exercise a few times a day might help. While there is no established dose of exercise to improve brain health, it’s generally recommended you work out for 30 minutes a day and five days a week.

Eat healthy:

A healthy diet including olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains has been proven to improve thinking, memory and brain health.

Avoid alcohol, drugs and sleep well:

Give your brain the best chance to heal by avoiding substances that can adversely affect it. Also, make sure you give your body the sleep it needs as it is a time when the brain and body can clear out toxins and work towards healing.

Apart from these, try other beneficial activities, including reading novels, listening to music and keeping a positive mental attitude.
