The average diet in the 1950’s was not made up of processed or fast food. Home cooking was still the norm. The work day was from 9am to 5pm, and families actually sat down together to eat dinner. Nowadays, most families are double income. Work days are longer, with some people working up to 14 hours a day.
As mentioned in my previous blogs, March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. I want to bring awareness to the fact that sleep problems can be a result of a brain injury, such as concussion (mild traumatic brain injury). Common complaints I hear…
In order for your brain to recover after a concussion/brain injury, it’s crucial that you get enough sleep, and all five stages of sleep. During sleep, the brain is able to repair and grow cells, tissue and nerves that regenerate and boost the hormone and immune system.
A 2000 study of 1,090 former NFL players found that at least 60% had suffered at least one concussion throughout their careers. And according to the Centers for Disease control and Prevention, concussions account for one in every ten sports injuries. Sounds like it’s just part of the game, right?
Dr. Diane®'s book, Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury sets out to cover every aspect of this often mystifying condition.
