What influences our concentration?

A lack of concentration can be caused by stress, anxiety, exhaustion and excessive demands. The fast pace of life, an unbalanced diet, excessive sugar consumption and too little exercise affect our body and weaken our mental function. Measures such as stress reduction, outdoor activities, sport, sufficient sleep and avoiding unhealthy food can help. The microbiome in our gut is responsible for the production of countless essential substances that are crucial for our performance and ability to concentrate, among other things. A disturbed microbiome can lead to the formation of harmful toxins that negatively affect all brain functions and can cause chronic inflammation. Autism spectrum disorders such as ADD and ADHD are also often associated with impaired gut flora.
