I don’t imagine it would come as a surprise that foods made in a lab might not agree with us. 2 This may be related to increased incidence of sensitivity, its affect on the permeability of the gut, or its impact on the blood brain barrier – all which could encourage inflammation. Some research is pointing toward the excess of gluten as a trigger to brain dysfunction – especially for those with Coeliac disease. Considering our modern day diet comprises a whole lot of wheat, corn, dairy, shellfish, tree nuts and peanuts, our immune system could be in a hyper-reactive state, producing excessive inflammation. It can also heavily impact brain health and function.

Reactions to foods can manifest in a myriad of ways – gut trouble, skin rashes, joint pain, or breathing difficulties. High spikes raise serotonin and GABA to the point of sleepiness, and hormones such as cortisol, glucagon, and adrenalin are produced to try and mitigate the rapid drop in blood sugar – and cortisol and adrenalin can leave you feeling wired (even though you are tired). Neurons (brain cells) need glucose more than any cell in the body, and when insulin has quickly shepherded the glucose away, and there is nothing left for neurons to use, you can feel unfocused and lightheaded.Īdditionally, fluctuations in blood glucose impact the use and metabolism of various neurotransmitters.

This similar type of brain fatigue ensues when we have left the brain without some fuel – either because we forget to eat, or eat the wrong stuff. Research is limited in defining or measuring the fog, but what we are beginning to understand is excess inflammation caused by what we eat and drink can play a major role in producing the symptoms experienced.Īt the end of a super busy, brain-draining day, I don’t know about you, but I just cannot deal with the decision of what to make for dinner. Though not a medically defined term, when you hear it, you kind of know what it is, right?Ĭollectively, symptoms such as forgetfulness, confusion, lack of clarity and focus tend to sum up brain fog. So what does it mean when you feel the cloud settle over the brain, leaving you unable to think clearly or speak coherently? Oh, of course! Its 3pm! Better have me some Coke and Cadbury to power through this fog that has descended upon my brain, because I just can’t think.
