The Brain and Nervous System

Your brain is pretty important, (you only have one and at this point in time you can’t replace it) and it’s one of the biggest targets for hidden inflammation. That manifests in symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog and poor memory. Many people suffer from these cognitive issues for one reason or another, so we’ve begun to believe that they’re normal. In fact, these issues are almost always signs of a deeper problem, such as chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation of the brain and nervous system can lead to diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s, so clearing your head is no joke [1]. Where can you start? A better diet comes first. This is because the gut microbiota plays an extremely important role in regulating neurological functions throughout your body's entire lifespan [2]. Eat plenty of probiotic foods and consider a vitamin D supplement to strengthen your intestinal lining. DHA is also critical for brain health, and it’s a powerful systemic anti-inflammatory nutrient that protects your brain and circulatory system.
