How could diet affect traumatic brain injury?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    There are no specific dietary strategies that are closely related to improved recovery from TBI. However, having a BMI within normal ranges and eating a diet that contains sufficient micronutrients is likely to be valuable when recovering from a TBI. In particular, being underweight can worsen outcomes, although this is not specific to TBI.[1]
