What makes me most uncomfortable is feeling tired and weak. During the recovery period, I could sleep seventeen or eight hours a day, but when I woke up, I was still tired and lacked energy. The key is that I felt that I had become sluggish, a little "stupid", my concentration dropped, and I suddenly forgot what I wanted to do. It wasn't until I saw the word "brain fog" that I understood what was happening.
expert Wang Gongqiang suggested some methods to help alleviate the problem, and summarized them for everyone. I hope it will be helpful.
1. Maintain good sleep
Sleep is one of the basic physiological needs of human beings. Especially during the recovery process, it is necessary to take the initiative to rest and have high-quality rest. In special periods, the sleep time can be extended to ensure 10-12 hours of sleep per day or even longer. The sleeping environment must be quiet. You can also soak your feet properly before going to bed to promote blood circulation throughout the body and allow all parts of the human body to fully rest and repair. This is crucial for the recovery of "brain fog".
2. It is recommended to increase the intake of dietary supplements.
Dietary supplements are all kinds of vitamins , minerals, amino acids and other supplements. During the recovery period, the diet is abnormal, the appetite is poor, and the intake of both good and bad food is not much. But now is the time when nutrition is most needed. It is best to add some supplementary health products. It is simple and trouble-free, and the body will not be depleted.
3, increase protein intake
Protein intake is mentioned by almost every expert. All important components of the body require the participation of protein, which is crucial to human function. Three meals a day cannot always be carbohydrates such as rice porridge and steamed buns. Remember to add more protein. Even eating one more egg every day will be much better.
recommends a dish [Stewed Tofu with Egg and Minced Meat]. uses tofu, eggs, and lean meat as the main ingredients. They are rich in protein and are more flavorful, which can stimulate the taste buds.
Ingredients: tofu, eggs, minced meat, shallots, garlic, spicy millet, bean paste, pepper, salt, and appropriate amount of MSG.
1. Cut the tofu into evenly sized tofu pieces, break the eggs into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt and beat them up. Add 1 spoon of light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of minced ginger and salt to the minced meat, mix well and marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a pan until it is 80% hot. Pour in the egg liquid. After the eggs condense into lumps, break them up with chopsticks and set aside. Leave the base oil in the wok, add the marinated minced meat, stir-fry until the minced meat is crispy, add 1 tablespoon of bean paste, an appropriate amount of minced garlic and spicy millet, stir-fry evenly until the aroma is released.
3. Add 1 bowl of water to the pot. After the water boils, add the cut tofu cubes and simmer for 3 minutes until the tofu is fragrant. Add 1 spoon of sugar, 1 spoon of MSG, half a spoon of pepper and an appropriate amount of salt for seasoning.

4. Comb your hair or do some head massage
Combing your hair and doing head massage are helpful for blood circulation in the head. As the old saying goes, "comb your hair every day and you will live to be ninety-nine." Let your family help you comb your hair for about 15 minutes every day, and then take a foot bath at the same time, which is good for relieving fatigue and helping you sleep.
- Lao Jing said -
This time the virus has indeed seriously damaged the vitality of many people. They feel unwell in all aspects. You must pay attention to a good rest and put other things aside for the time being. As the old saying goes, "Sickness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." You should not be impatient or put too much pressure on your recovery. I hope everyone will get better and better in 2023.
