Everyone can experience mental fatigue from time to time — especially when exposed to high levels of stress or while keeping up with the demands of a hectic lifestyle.
But when mental fatigue becomes a regular occurrence in your day to day life, it can leave you feeling downright exhausted and even frustrated at the way it adversely affects both your personal and professional wellbeing.
A brain that is constantly overtired or overstimulated cannot function properly. This can lead to memory loss, impaired decision-making skills, dullness, decreased alertness and slower reaction time, which can eventually result in reduced efficiency and in some cases, anxiety and depression.
To achieve mental fitness, lifestyle changes are in order. This includes getting the right amount of sleep, exercise, and proper nutrition. Some people forget that what you put in your body is also what feeds your brain. With the proper kind of nutrients, you can help protect your brain, improve cognitive function, and perform better in your tasks whether at work or at play.
