Yes, brain fog is a real thing, and it is entirely treatable.
What this study actually shows is that people who were treated in hospitals performed worse after being in the hospital than average people who were not in the hospital.
They never tested any of these people before they went in to see if they had a decline.
Perhaps the unhealthiest people had lower brain performance to start with . It’s not that dumb people are unhealthy - it’s that unhealthy brains don’t work as well.
And hospitalization is likely to make any brain worse (bad food, bad lights, circadian disruption, drugs, and invasive procedures all create brain fog).
Want to know how to fix your brain? There is a manual that was on The New York Times science list, sandwiched between Homo Deus and Sapiens. It’s called Head Strong.
