Two new high-profile studies add to the increasingly worrisome picture of how even mild cases of COVID-19 can have detrimental effects on brain health.

From the article:

“…two new studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine shed further light on the profound toll of COVID-19 on cognitive health.” And in other studies cases “with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging.”

    I don’t think it’s a decrease in IQ, but I definitely haven’t been able to shake the brain fog from mine.

        Think a moment on the connection between Gut and Brain. Consider, especially if your case of La ‘Rona had GI symptoms and/or alterations in sleep patterns, using Prebiotics, e.g. Inulin, Green Banana Flour, and Probiotics (any live cultured foods that taste good to you, e.g. kimchi), the combination of which Pre + Pro = Synbiotics. Lions mane is also a beneficial nutraceutical / food. Exercise, tho’ not of the extreme type, can also benefit cognition.
