On average, pregnant and nursing women in the U.S. consume 60-80 mg of DHA a day, from food and drink, which is only 20-25% of the recommended intake.* That's why DHA is one of the most important supplements for pregnancy.
The spinal cord coordinates the body's movement and sensation. Therefore, an injured cord loses the ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body's systems that control sensory, motor, and autonomic function below the level of injury. Often, this results in some level of paralysis.
The more specific effects of spinal cord injury are determined by the type of nerve that has been damaged. Damage to motor nerves results in paralysis, or loss of control of movement. Damage to somatosensory nerves results in loss of sensation and perception; one can no longer feel touch, pain, temperature, or be able to tell without looking where in space the nerve-damaged body part is positioned.
