Forgetfulness and mental cloudiness are often blamed on aging or burnout, but new research links them to heart disease. Brain fog, that frustrating state of mental dullness, may be your body’s way of signaling poor cardiovascular health. The heart and brain are intricately linked through blood circulation. A weakened heart fails to deliver adequate oxygen-rich blood to the brain, starving neurons and causing cognitive hiccups. This isn’t mere stress—it’s a physiological cry for help. Published findings from 2024 highlight how reduced cerebral blood flow from cardiac inefficiency correlates with diminished attention spans and memory retention. The study tracked individuals with…
