But did you know your brain can become inflamed, too? Inflammation is usually the body's response to injury and stress such as the redness and swelling that accompanies an injury or infection.The problem with inflammation in the brain is that it doesn’t necessarily cause immediate hurt. Instead, symptoms such as brain fog, slow thinking, fatigue, and depression are the hallmarks. The inflammation slows down communication between neurons. This is what causes you to feel foggy, dull, and slow.Other common causes of brain inflammation include chronic inflammation in the body, leaky gut, high blood sugar and diabetes, hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, food intolerances (gluten is a notorious brain inflamer), stress, and brain autoimmunity — a disorder in which the immune system erroneously attacks and damages brain tissue. It is more common than people realize.Is your brain inflamed?To discover what common complaint this is, to learn the signs your brain may be suffering from inflammation and find out what you can do about it, keep listening!At HappiHuman.com, we pride ourselves on being able to support everyone’s optimal health - regardless of whether you are a TBI survivor, struggle with a mental health issue, wish to improve cognitive function or simply want to optimize your weight and age gracefully and reduce the chance of disease.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-fWyXa8Tv0PnitVKnyyx9ASubscribe to my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenutritionalnerd/Subscribe to my FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/thenutritionalnerd/Subscribe to my Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/thenutritionalnerd/A reminder that this content is not intended to substitute professional medical advice.
