The infection in the brain can cause a brain injury so Treatment should focus on neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.
Sustained aerobic exercise promotes neuroplasticity and neurogenesis so try brisk walking or other cardio exercises.
Rest - The brain needs rest and a quiet environment to repair itself so take mini breaks during the day to give the brain a chance to recover. Avoid stress because that will reduce neurogenesis.
An aggressive diet regiment will also help neuroplasticity and neurogenesis.
Stop eating -
- soda
- sugar/fructose/corn syrup
- wheat
- processed foods
- fried foods

- foods with added sugar
