Broccoli & the Blood-Brain Barrier
A substance found in broccoli and other vegetables could help protect your brain after a head injury.
That is according to a new study from the University of Texas Medical School where tests on lab rats found the substance helped maintain the blood-brain barrier.
The barrier is made up of a bunch of cells that basically stand guard at the brain only allowing select chemicals in.
Experts say the barrier can be greatly compromised after head trauma.
