I suffered from brain fog before my illness (autoimmune dis-ease) so I can relate with this very well. I have noticed that many people suffer from brain fog nowadays due to unhealthy processed food, excessive alcohol intake, caffeine, smoking and all the toxins around us. You are responsible for your own health.
