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 spinal cord carries out sensory, integrative, and motor functions, which can be categorized as reflex, reciprocal activity (as one activity starts, another stops), monitoring and modulation of sensory and motor mechanisms, and transmission of impulses to the brain.
