Fast food
Surprise, surprise! Fast food is on the worst brain foods menu, too. But why? Well, mainly due to their high levels of saturated fats. Just name one fast food item that doesn’t contain saturated fats. Yeah… thought so, you can’t. And it’s not just their high content of saturated fats, but their sodium content, too.
Did you know that high levels of sodium can lead to brain fog when consumed? It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Health pros explain how it is possible: when we eat too many salty food items, we often experience high blood pressure. This restricts the blood from going to the brain. That’s why you can experience brain fog after consuming large amounts of sodium.
Avoid fast food items as much as you can.
