Anyone have meal plans they follow for optimal brain nutrition? I've been struggling with eating healthier, especially when I'm not feeling well.

Recovered by the end of February. A branch fell on my hardhat at work on 10/7. Not sure if completely concussed but have been feeling "out of it". Definitely injured my upper cervical region and upper back. Out of work for the time being. |

I follow the vitamin regimen because it is difficult to get enough of the brain nutrition elements from a normal healthy diet. Some say the Mediterranean Diet. I would be sure to have good meat protein with a focus on cold water fish and possibly some pork. (good for BCAA's Branched Chain Amino Acids).

It's interesting how the nutrients recommended for PCS people intersect with what's good for bodybuilding (proteins, BCAAs, creatine, omega 3 fats, eggs, B-vitamins, D3, magnesium, zinc, acetyl-L-carnitine). Working out should support neurogenesis too.
Hopefully the cognitive and headache-related improvements will soon catch up with my muscle gains.

I find it important to eat small amounts many times a day. Not so much grazing but more like 6 small meals a day rather than regular breakfast, lunch, dinner. It seems to stop me from having those highs and lows and crashing after eating.
I don't eat carbs much any more. That's certainly helped me, but everyone is different. I have a lot of residual vertigo so having crashes after eating food doesn't help that at all. |
