Inflammation is part of the immune system’s response to defend you against microbial infections. It is the body’s first line of defence against invasion by micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses, and it is activated rapidly after infection.

Inflammation in the brain causes neurons to work slowly, slowing down mental acuity, recall, and reflexes. Sluggish neurons also shut down the production of energy in the cells. This means that cells fatigue easily, and you may lose your ability to focus for long periods of time.

Brain fog, also commonly known as brain fatigue, when this occurs, you experience a lack of focus, poor memory recall and reduced mental acuity.
