Eli5 What is executive disfunction?
In: 1150
Executive Dysfunction is the inability to follow through on planned tasks in a timely manner.
This happens when we do not move our bodies enough (sedentary lifestyle), when our diet causes systemic inflammation (due to low fiber, low nutrition content and ultra-processed foods), and in specific conditions such as ADHD. ALL OF US struggle with procrastination at some points in our lives, but this dysfunction is when it becomes a very common and frustrating occurrence.
Exercise can help to regrow the connections in the frontal lobe that support executive function but it only helps, cannot fully cure, issues related to procrastination and inability to follow through/stay on-task.
