Thickened bile may affect brain function.
When the proportion of cholesterol in bile is too high and the amount of bile itself is insufficient, the bile becomes viscous. Bile is produced by the liver and should normally flow smoothly into the gallbladder, but when the flow is obstructed, "cholestasis" occurs. Bile is highly irritating, and if reflux causes liver inflammation, the liver's detoxification ability will decrease.
When toxins cannot be metabolized properly, they flow back into the bloodstream, further affecting the brain. The hippocampus, a crucial region responsible for both short-term and long-term memory, is particularly susceptible to damage. Therefore, when bile flow is impaired, a person may experience memory loss, mental fog, and slowed thinking.

Improvement methods: Increase bile fluidity
To improve cholestasis, the key is to increase bile volume and make it flow more smoothly. Consider:
- Supplement bile salts
- Adopt a low-carbohydrate diet
- Increase your intake of healthy fats in moderation
The reason is that fat can stimulate bile secretion. If a low-fat diet is followed for a long time, the body lacks stimulation, which naturally reduces bile production, making it easier for cholesterol to accumulate.
Conversely, excessive carbohydrates can be converted into cholesterol, making bile thicker and creating a vicious cycle. Therefore, reducing the intake of refined carbohydrates and adding appropriate amounts of healthy fats is a key to improving cholestasis.
Avoid high-carbohydrate diets combined with low-fat diets
High carbohydrate intake prompts the body to produce more cholesterol, while a low-fat diet reduces bile secretion stimulation, making bile more prone to stagnation. This dietary pattern can lead to both insufficient bile and high cholesterol, which can more easily affect liver and brain function.

Conclusion:
Memory decline and brain fog are not necessarily just problems with the brain itself; they may stem from obstructed bile flow. Improving your diet, reducing carbohydrates, consuming healthy fats in moderation, and supplementing with bile salts can help improve bile circulation, leading to clearer thinking and sharper memory.
