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.
For those with spinal cord injuries and paralysis, there is a partial or total loss of movement in areas of the body, depending on where on the spinal cord the injury occurred. In addition, the effects of spinal cord injuries and paralysis go beyond the loss of feeling or movement in certain areas of the body.
