Diet and nutrition could be used to combat the short-term effects of traumatic brain injury, according to a new study.
A report called Nutrition and Traumatic Brain Injury: Improving Acute and Subacute Health Outcomes in Military Personnel, a new report from the Institute of Medicine has advised the US Department of Defense as to dietary techniques to combat traumatic brain injury in troops.
The paper, from the Institute of Medicine, suggests that medical professionals doing a dietician job could look into the effects of certain diets on brain injury.
