Brain fog is a common symptom of menopause, and while you can’t cure it, you can treat it with a healthy lifestyle.
Eating healthy, exercising frequently, and getting plenty of sleep are great ways to boost concentration, memory, and cognitive ability. Over time, the brain fog will clear up on its own. But in the meantime, taking care of yourself is the best way to combat it.
