Studying a language or a musical instrument will stimulate your brain. Brainteasers, puzzles, or playing games like trivia and checkers will also help keep your mind sharp.
find ways focus
Break up tasks into small steps, so you’re not trying to do too much at once. And when you do start a task, avoid distractions like a loud TV so you can give it your full attention.
don’t multitask
Avoid multitasking as it will become too hard for your brain to process everything you’re trying to do at once. This, in turn, will worsen your brain fog. Do one thing at a time, so you not only do it perfectly but also avoid overworking your brain.
keep a record
Start tracking your fibro fog patterns. If you know when your brain fog tends to be at its worst then you’ll easily be able to identify your triggers. For instance, if your fog is worse after drinking coffee in the afternoon, then you can avoid coffee at that time, and consequently ease your fibro fog.
dehydration
Not drinking enough water can cause all sorts of issues. Brain fog is one of the first symptoms you might notice.
food
Unhealthy foods can cause brain fog over time because your body is spending more time digesting it and getting cleansing than it is helping you think.

These are things like air pollution, heavy metal contaminants, and chemicals in the environment. If you are subjected to this in your environment, it could be causing or contributing to your fog.
