WASHINGTON (TND) — Research shows that virus fragments left behind after a COVID-19 infection and the spike protein left behind after a COVID-19 shot can affect our memory, concentration, processing power, speed, and mood behavior. It is known that there is a sex.
Fatigue, headaches, and brain fog are common symptoms after contracting COVID-19. Persistent impairment may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. However, with lifestyle modifications and treatment strategies, you can build a better brain.
Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Coalition (FLCCC) advisor Dr. Suzanne Gazda joined National Desk's Jan Jeffcoat to discuss the issue.
“I've always said that since 2020, 2021, the brain has been hit hard and it's not a residual virus, it's residual fragments of the virus that are wreaking havoc on the brain.” said. “Many studies have shown that cognitive impairment is one of the main side effects after COVID-19 infection. Therefore, this may also occur in people who have suffered vaccine damage.”
According to Gazda, 11 studies have linked having contracted coronavirus to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease within six to 12 months, the first of its kind.
Lifestyle modifications such as changing your diet to a low-inflammatory diet are recommended, and intermittent fasting can also be a powerful factor in improving brain health.
“A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine surveyed nearly 100,000 people and found that a significant proportion of those who recovered from the coronavirus had persistent memory loss.” Gazda said. “What we typically see in our practice is that these brain fogs and cognitive issues may not improve over time alone.”
