Unlock Your Brain’s Healing Power: The Surprisingly Simple Foods and Drinks That Speed Concussion Recovery
Antioxidants are Pro-Brain
Oxidative stress after a concussion can lead to secondary brain damage. Antioxidants are then a strong tool for minor brain trauma recovery as they reduce free radical damage.
While the list of types of antioxidants is long and varying, there are indications that some have especially therapeutic benefits. Melatonin, glutathione, N-Acetyl-Cysteine, flavonoids, resveratrol, CoQ10 and carotenoids have been found to increase cognitive function, reduce mitochondrial dysfunction and damage, and reduce the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS plays a large role in the die-off of neurons following a concussion.
