Symptom #8: Confusion
The human brain is a very powerful organ. As useful as this is for us, though, it also requires a lot of fuel to keep it going. This means plenty of nutrition from the food that we eat and also plenty of oxygen from the air that we breathe. If the brain is not getting the oxygen it needs, it can begin to slow down.
When the brain slows down, it can struggle to process even simple details. We can become confused easily and struggle to understand where we are and what is going on. Our memory can suffer and we can also find it very difficult to make decisions.
