ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Losing focus? Here’s how to fix it!
Over the past decade, there has been a notable increase in issues related to memory and focus, affecting both children and adults. This is concerning. There has been an increase in ADHD diagnoses, lack of focus, shorter attention spans, and an increase in mood disorders which can have a negative impact on memory and concentration. Several factors contribute to this trend, most of which are controllable.
Poor dietary habits can have a big impact on memory and overall cognitive function. Diets that are high in sugar, highly processed foods, high in seed oils and hydrogenated fats, high in caffeine and other stimulants, and too much alcohol are amongst the greatest of the “poor” consumables that contribute to memory and focus issues. Diets low in protein, low in mineral density (especially iron, zinc, magnesium and iodine), low in good healthy fats, low in fiber, vitamins (especially vitamins D, choline and B), inadequate water intake, and a diet low in whole fresh foods, prevent the body from getting the nutrients needed to support healthy brain functioning. You can’t make something out of nothing. If the needed nutrients aren’t in the diet, your body can’t make the brain hormones that support healthy cognition.
