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 symptoms of spinal stroke vary depending upon the location of the spinal injury. Spinal cord injury causes stoppage of impulses going from brain to peripheral tissue and from peripheral tissue to brain. The lack of physiological function of spinal cord result in loss of feeling and weakness below the affected area.
