Brain fog has become an increasingly encountered health condition in the general population, especially as a result of long-term COVID-19 infections. Interestingly, it is not considered a medical condition even though it is strongly linked with many clinical conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, autoimmune disease, and COVID-19.
This frustrating condition can be weary, and its underlying causes are not fully understood. Several scientific
explanations have been proposed, such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal imbalance,
compromised blood flow or oxygenation, and energy production, etc. When it comes to treatment options, it is
rather ambiguous and non-specific to the condition itself.
When looking at advocated treatments, you get a feeling
of “shooting in the dark” – blasting on everything you can think of, from lifestyle changes, diet modifications,
exercises, stress management, and medical investigations, to supportive therapies. Isn’t it an “overkill” for a
condition that is not even classified as a medical condition?
This article will explore brain fog and how Airnergy
can be a unique solution for this non-medical yet debilitating condition.
The human bodies are extremely complex and our brain is by far the most complicated system. It is well
understood in science that the complexity of the human brain is the same as the entire universe. Scientists have
revealed the striking similarity between the dark matter in space and the human nerve cells and neural networks.
Thus, the concept of a universal mind is proposed to reflect the human consciousness and our intricate connection
with the world within ourselves and the world outside. In such a vast network, you can imagine how many
electro-bio-physiological processes are being processed each second. It requires lighting communication with
electrons, neurons, and sophisticated regulation of electromagnetic fields. Despite making up only 2 percent of
a human’s body weight, the brain uses roughly a fifth of the body’s energy. The energy load per cell is extremely
dense, which requires resilient structural integrity of the cells to perform various tasks. At the same time, there
are essential needs such as waste disposal and an efficient cooling-down mechanism. *
LOOKING AT BRAIN FOG FROM ENERGY PERSPECTIVE
The term brain fog is pretty much spot-on about the condition, it is like the foggy experience when you just
started a car in a cold winter. Under such a weather condition, you will find the cold mist on the car window
making it impossible to see clearly. The reason behind this is very easy to understand, it is due to coldness the
humid air is condensed and becomes mist on the windshield. The solution is practically common knowledge to
everyone, you just need to turn up the heater and use the heat energy to blast away the mist. I want to use this
daily experience to make a simple comparison to illustrate the energetic root cause of brain fog.
It is a known fact that everything is about energy and life is simply a manifestation of energy adaption. When it
comes to the living function of the body, there are two aspects of energy we need to consider. On the one hand,
we require energy to perform various tasks for functional purposes, such as digesting food, running a marathon,
or simply keeping us alive. On this account, there are various physiological regulations and biological operations
that are keeping it in check. On the other hand, the body itself requires energy to maintain its structural integrity
which is not associated with any functional tasks, but rather a basic operational condition. For example, the
electric charge asserted on the wall of cells (so-called transmembrane potential), or the pH level in the blood.
These two kinds of energy requirements can be compared to a car: gasoline for driving (functional energy) and
engine oil to keep the engine in good condition (structural integrity). Similarly, while brain fog isn’t considered
a medical condition, the lack of engine oil isn’t a technical problem with the car.
Although this comparison simplifies brain fog, it relates to many life situations. If you have an electric device
that works with a 220V electric supply, but you take it to the USA and plug it into a 110V socket. We all know
what can happen to the device, it simply will run in “slow motion”. If it is an audio player, the music that comes
from it will be a completely distorted melody. In today’s world, we experience it more often when we try to
watch a movie but the internet is too low. So, the so-called brain fog is essentially a matter of energy deficiency
or “legging behind” in cellular respiration. Let me explain what I mean by this in an understandable manner.
*You can relate this to the use of a computer or a car, which all need cooling and exhaust systems in place. This
may sound like a usual necessity, but it is rather challenging for the brain since it can’t use ordinary mechanisms
as we have in the rest of our bodies due to its high sensitivity and vulnerability to viruses and bacteria. The bloodbrain barrier serves as a protective shield to prevent any unwanted entrance, even lymph can’t enter the brain.
So, the human brain is designed in an ingenious way to meet these challenging demands. In short, there are three
essential elements for a healthy brain:
