1. Move It

The relationship is simple: Physical activity enhances brain activity. Some studies have even gone as far as classifying exercise as brain food. Whether you decide to adhere to an exercise regimen, or take 4 minutes out of your day to do tabata burpees, exercising is an easy and efficient way to fight brain fog.

2. Stop Bingeing on Sugar and Carbs

Want a perfect recipe for brain fog? Combine skipping meals with bingeing on sugar, and you’ve got it. If you find yourself struggling with brain fog, and this eating pattern sounds familiar to you, it is time to make a shift. The combination of skipped meals and a sugar binge can spike your blood sugar, and signal your body to release stress, and pro-inflammatory hormones, both known culprits of causing brain fog.

3. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Sleep deprivation and poor quality sleep, are some of the more common causes of brain fog. If sleep keeps evading you, or if you wake up feeling unrested, consider a sleep supplement. Two of my favorite nootropic companies, Nootrobox and Lumonol, also manufacture some really potent, but not disruptive, sleep supplements.

4. Take a Nootropic

This one is pretty obvious. If you’ve been fighting brain fog for a while, take a look at our research, and find a nootropic to help you fight it. If you don’t know where to start, take a look at our Beginner’s Guide to Nootropics to learn more about what may work for you.

5. Mind the Stress

While this may not be a one-step tip, managing stress can have a huge impact on your brain fog. Of course there is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem here, are you stressed because you have brain fog and can’t accomplish as much as you would like to; or is the stress fueling your brain fog?

Rather than trying to answer the questions, take some steps toward managing the stress. Whether it is meditating, practicing some relaxation techniques, or making better use of your time, or taking advantage of some brain hacks, make an effort to keep the stress to a minimum.

What do you do to combat brain fog? I’m always looking for ways to feel and think better, so leave your comments below!

Below are five reasons entrepreneurs are supplementing to work a little bit smarter every day.

1. They’re easy to take and help prepare your brain for stressful work and tasks.

Images of mad scientists or drug-crazed hippies don’t describe these supplements. Many are lab-tested and sourced from natural ingredients. Completely legal and made under stringent manufacturing standards, these are hardly black-market mystery pills. And quick-metabolizing ingredients mean they give you a clarity boost from day one.

2. Ingredients like Cognizine promote neuron health and neurotransmitter function.

The brain is one of the least-understood organs, though more and more research is giving us clarity on how our neurons fire and work together. Cognizine is one ingredient that’s been shown to protect and promote neuron function, and expect more research to come soon on this popular ingredient.

3. Natural herbs like Huperzine A boost brain function and performance.

Actual lab science exists to back the effectiveness of ingredients found in many popular nootropics. And several trials show a boost in users who use smart supplements as compared to control groups. These are supplements we wish we’d had for our SATs.

4. They’re proven to increase alertness and mental clarity.

Controlled trials on users taking popular nootropics suggest increased alertness and feelings of clarity. Stress won’t ever be fun, but a focused head can help entrepreneurs tackle even the most abstract problem, including supply chain issues or hiring big teams effectively.

5. Completely legal with value trial periods.

Are smart supplements right for everyone? Probably not. Fortunately, many manufacturers offer heavily discounted trials so you can try them out for yourself. It helps users shop around and compare from a growing variety of available supplements with increasingly researched ingredients.
