HOW ALCOHOL-RELATED LIVER DISEASE CAN CAUSE CONFUSION AND BRAIN FOG

Are you an alcoholic who has been drinking for quite some time? Be informed that excessive alcohol drinking for several years can result in toxins accumulation in the liver. Such a liver cannot properly clear unwanted material from blood, which leads to toxins build up in the brain, thus confusion. To spot the signs, you may notice your eyes whitening and the skin becoming yellow. Your legs and feet may swell. Furthermore, your abdomen may appear bigger due to fluid accumulation and the body temperature will rise despite feeling feverish sometimes. But I advise my clients that if they gradually reduce the intake and later stop drinking, the symptoms can reverse for the better.
