Other work has been done in older adults looking at things like 100 milligrams blueberry extracts and seeing better episodic memory performance, reduced cardiovascular disease, and so on and so forth. So what this would look like from a whole food source to get something like 500 milligrams Of the Anthos, you need 100 grams of blueberries, which is, I think, a cup has 150.

So I'll translate that for you a little bit. You have a cup of blueberries, and you're probably hitting your numbers. It's really that easy. I would actually say that of all the things we've discussed so far today, this is the easiest one to get out of straight food.

You will be hard pressed to find a program that ever comes out of myself, our rapid health and performance company, or any other one that I'm associated with that doesn't have a cup of blueberries in it. And it's for these reasons and many more. So it's a pretty easy number to hit, pretty consistent and has a lot of benefits, right? I will also tell you,

People love to give blueberry olives a credit here, but it's not the only food item that's got the anthos in it. Strawberries, cranberries, they have it too. There's not as much data. I don't actually know if there's any data, but I imagine if they did those studies, you'd probably find the same benefits. So I'm actually not as particular on this one.

I don't have evidence to support myself, but I don't think it's that big of a stretch to think the same chemicals in this case that are in blueberries probably also exist in raspberries and strawberries and other similar forms. So we will spread our berries out. But if you want to stick to giving all the love to blueberries, you're not going to hurt my feelings.

As far as I understand it, that represents all the evidence on food related items one can take for brain health, TBIs and concussions. The only thing I'm aware of that's actually detrimental for brain healing is caffeine. And there's enough evidence here that this is probably pretty bad news when trying to heal from a brain injury. It causes neurovascular constriction, it leads to less blood flow.

We know that caffeine consumers are more susceptible to diminished emotional health, bad sleep quality, depression, and somatic symptoms with brain injuries. And so what my recommendation here would be overconsumption. is the problem. Do not over-consume caffeine if you've experienced a brain injury.

I don't think there's any reason to think caffeine consumption is going to give you more risk to have a brain injury, but if you have one, you want to make sure you're really careful. Ask your doctor, check in there, but that's the only one on our list that we have reason to think that you should avoid. That concludes today's episode on nutrition for brain injury, TBIs, and concussion.

I think it's worth reminding you though that if it's good for preventing and returning faster from a brain injury, it's probably safe to assume it's also good for brain performance as well as long-term health.

My goal of today as always was to provide you with a ton of information so that you can be excited, you can learn, you have some things to try, but to also be fair with the state of the data and you can make your decision about what you want to do or not do based upon that.
