Misty, I am much older than you, and can honestly say that I think sugar and carbs are like poison to the brain (and body). I too wondered if my brain function was fading due to age or disease, but am happy to say with dietary changes I am sharper than ever and so much happier too. |
Great advice. I think carbs give me more than my usual fog too.
Meditation IS indeed amazing...now if I could just stick to it, ugh! I get lazy.
Misty -- when I was around 35, that's when I too started to notice some cognitive changes, and it is rather disturbing...now I'm 47 and I have to put a post it next to my bed to remind myself of my name in the morning
