Unlock Your Brain’s Healing Power: The Surprisingly Simple Foods and Drinks That Speed Concussion Recovery
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) makes up about 97% of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain. Its role is to support cell membrane fluidity, cell signaling and protection of these cells.
DHA levels in the brain have been shown to decrease following traumatic brain injury, indicating an increased need for DHA for the recovery. And dietary DHA counteracts this by increasing levels again. (Interestingly, curcumin has been found to improve this counteraction even more when combined with a DHA protocol.)
And while omega-3s may not provide the same advantages as water, there is evidence to support that DHA intake can help prevent long-term effects and injury as a result of a concussion.
