End brain fog

A foggy head can be exacerbated by out-ofbalance gut bacteria, especially if you suffer from recurrent thrush. So feed your second brain – the gut.

• Avoid too much sugar – the brain finds it hard to deal with. Instead, aim to eat at least 30 different plant-based items per week.

• Eat rosemary to boost your memory.

• Antioxidants protect the brain – good sources are artichoke, basil, berries, celery, citrus fruits and turmeric.

• B vitamins or “memory vitamins” are found in eggs, cereals, brown rice, chicken, fish, asparagus and dark green vegetables.

• Be wary of how gluten and dairy can have an opioid-like effect on the brain.
