* Take Plenty of Sleep and Rest
*
Many people are of the view that you should not let someone fall asleep if they have
suffered a concussion. The truth is that sleep is actually the best concussion treatment
after the person has been evaluated medically to rule out any possible complications.
You need to give your brain time to heal after a head injury like concussion.
* Light Exercise
*
Where rest is of paramount importance, staying active is essential too. After a few
days of complete rest, you should introduce light exercise into your routine. Adding
light activity to your routine would improve blood flow and accelerate recovery.
Studies have found that activity helps lower risk of post-concussive symptoms.
However, you need to keep in mind that introducing light activity to your routine is not
the same as returning to competitive sports.
* Fish Oil
*
Using fish oil may as well be a good way to promote recovery. Many studies have
confirmed that fish oil reduces inflammation and helps sped up recovery. You may also
benefit from increasing your intake of omega3 rich foods, such as walnuts, flaxseed,
grass-fed beef, wild-caught salmon, and grass-fed dairy.
