There are many who believe that the phrase "hospital food" is an oxymoron. Whether you believe that or not, you may well discover that many dieticians and other alleged nutritional experts limit themselves to calorie counting and "Recommended Daily Allowances." Such outdated thinking would not be very good for any of us -- and it is especially unhealthy for someone recovering from a TBI.
Luckily, as the older members of the "Baby Boom" generation have started to reach their 50th birthdays, there is now a great deal of work being done in this area, especially as it relates to brain functioning and memory. See the 2 excellent sites below about the work of Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa and his ideas on "brain longevity."

There are many types of supplements available today, as shown below in the Nutritional Supplements [3], Herbs [4], Homeopathy [5], and Smart Drugs [6] sections which follow. Special mention must be made, though, of "super blue green algae." This is one that can provide a wide variety of benefits, both for general health and for brain health. As detailed at the sites below, algae is a very healthy food, in general, and one which is extremely easy to digest.
There are many fine companies marketing algae today. The one with which we are most familiar is Cell Tech. Along with the general benefits to be gained from eating algae, it is believed by some that Cell Tech's "Omega Sun" product, in particular, is very helpful in enhancing brain function.

NOTE:
Just for the record, we have been Cell Tech (now called Simplexity
Health) distributors in the past, although we are not currently active
with them. We DO, however, still highly recommend their algae products.
