Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) can be a frustrating and debilitating condition for athletes, mainly when dizziness is a persistent symptom.
The BCTT is a game changer in getting an athlete safely back onto the field and helps the coach feel confident in the decision of return to play.
Diet is such a key component in PCS as well- this often gets overlooked but can speed or delay an athlete’s return to sport.
What do you think the athlete should eat to help with recovery?
One of the top priorities should be adequate water consumption… lots of it!!
The basics are to avoid all processed foods, simple sugars, caffeine and alcohol.
Consume fruits, proteins, fresh vegetables and supplements. You are looking to avoid foods that cause inflammation in your body and brain
