The Details: Clear the Haze!
One of the top causes of brain fog is dehydration. Why? Your brain is roughly 75% water, therefore, is highly susceptible to fluctuations in hydration. For instance, as little as a 2% reduction causes a noticeable reduction in cognitive function, attention span, decision-making ability, and short-term memory.
Drinking plain water is good, but consuming fresh juice brings with it numerous compounds that can counteract brain fog more effectively. Vitamin C, found in abundance in both oranges and pineapple, has been shown to improve cognitive function through its role in the formation of neural myelin sheath (which protects the nerve cell and is responsible for the speed of signal transmission) as well as the maturation of neurons in the brain.
The enzyme bromelain found in pineapples increases blood flow to the brain, improving alertness through increased oxygen levels. Studies also indicate it has a protective effect on the brain through its ability to destabilize the plaque buildup in the brains of Alzheimer patients.

The Juicer: Kuvings REVO830
I made the Fog Horn using the Kuvings REVO830 juicer. It’s so much more than just a great juicer!
The Kuvings REVO830 sets itself apart with its unique dual-feed produce hopper, a design that saves you tons of prep time! The vertical cut chute handles long produce like cucumbers, carrots, chard, and celery whole. The 3.5″ wide auto-cut hopper that lets you drop in whole, bulky produce like apples, beets, and oranges without chopping.
It runs super quiet thanks to it’s upgraded motor, which also allows you to run this machine non-stop for up to 45 minutes. Not only does the REVO830 make great juice, but it also creates delicious nut milk, smoothies, sorbets, and nice cream.
All this goodness is backed by an astounding 15-year warranty. I definitely recommend this machine for any home juicer and is one I use regularly on my own juice feasting journey!
