This time it's about an invisible MS symptom, cognitive impairment. At least 40 percent of people with MS suffer from it, but the number could be significantly higher, as there are still no standardized tests that are regularly performed on everyone. In recent years, however, more and more attention has been paid to the invisible symptoms, as they are also interesting as early indicators of physical impairments occurring later. Moreover, nowadays, treatment providers try to stop multiple sclerosis as completely as possible, and for this it is important to detect all deteriorations in order to be able to take countermeasures if necessary.

Food for thought

Regular training of your mind, if possible daily or at least several times a week helps you best. Your brain behaves like a muscle – more training strengthens it and without training it becomes weaker and weaker. And as with physical training, it is important to take breaks and of course drink enough, preferably water, tea or diluted juices.

You can eat nuts and legumes more often and why not train your brain by trying out different recipes that feed your brain with nutrients and stimulate the gray cells to think. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? Delicious and healthy.

Question for you

Are you or have you already been affected by cognitive disorders? And if so, how do you deal with it?
