After COVID-19 subsided, people resumed traveling and living without masks. But some people are still affected by “brain fog”, persistent symptoms such as inability to concentrate and memory loss. The latest research in the UK has found that brain fog can make people look as old as 10 years old, and at the same time cause cognitive impairment.
New research, co-published by Washington University School of Medicine and VA St. Louis Hospital in Missouri, shows that people diagnosed with COVID-19 have a higher risk of developing brain damage and neurological-related disorders within a year of infection than uninfected people. Among them, the chance of seizures and memory impairment is the highest.
Nearly half of people infected with COVID-19 still suffer from the abnormal smell and taste a year later. This affects daily diet, relationship building, emotional problems, and memory. Experts suggest slowly regaining lost flavors by stimulating daily scents and pairing special recipes.
