Please help! Mental health/alertness diet tips???!?

Hi all,
Thanks for reading..here’s my problem..

I just moved to the otherside of the world(literally- Australia to Hungary) and thus into a totally different culture/diet/daily challenges/concerns etc etc etc.

I am really becoming aware now that, mentally, I am having problems concentrating and retaining information here.. even recalling things… and I’m only 22yrs old!

It’s getting to the point that I am feeling incredibly dumb here at times..even though back home I know I can argue and communicate with the best of them,… but.. here I can’t…

Especially on a busy day, i just feel my brain locks down at times.. and if I’m conversing and needing to emphasise something.. my vocabulary and memory/concentration die on me when i need them most..

To help, I have just started taking Super Brahmi Ginko tablets, and increasing veges, water.. but have you any advice? even obvious(remember my dumbness)?

Any help is sincerely appreciated! tc

It sounds like you’re tired. I had the same symptoms when I had a newborn and wasn’t sleeping much. Are you getting enough sleep?

I would suggest getting some exercise, like a walk, every day, drinking water, and eating less red meat. I have found, anecdotally, that it I have red meat I get more tired than if I have chicken, fish, or vegetarian meals. I believe it takes more energy to digest red meat, but I could be wrong.

Caffiene might help briefly but in the long term will make things worse, so don’t get a coffee addiction.
