Fish oil is a common health food, but few people know that fish oil also plays an important role in the treatment of injuring patients. In the "2019 Combined Academic Conference on Emergency and Severe Care", the attending physician of the Creative Medicine Department of National Taiwan University Hospital, pointed out that fish oil is used for treatment and helps in the repair of the neurologic and immune system of patients. Nutritional tutor Zhao, a nursing staff at Mackay Hospital, strongly reminded that the treatment of fish oil for severe cases must be followed in accordance with care guidelines. Not every case requires it. The time must be very accurate and cannot replace the original treatment.

Korean Yinyi published "Omega-3 fatty acids in the recovery of injury", which she studied, and suitable fish oil can help in the repair of nerve system, inflammatory and immune responses in patients with injury, improve hyperglycemia and tract imbalance after injury, antibacterial, reduce muscle atrophy and pain, and improve post-invasion syndrome.

She pointed out that fatty acids are the raw materials that form the cell membrane throughout the body. Compared with cell guardians, they can control physiological reactions, including determining cell stability, message transmission and gene expression in cells. They are also related to the types of cell hormones and inflammatory substances during inflammation. When free radicals are attacked, fatty acids will also affect the degree to which cells are oxidized.

Korean Yinyi analyzed that different fatty acids have different effects on the cell membrane, especially the body faces oxidative pressure, vegetable oil will heat up on the fire, and a stronger inflammation reaction will occur. Fish oil can reduce the production of inflammation mediators and strengthen the immune system at the same time. Currently, research has found that fish oil can help the body react and repair itself for negative effects such as hyperglycemia, kidney bacterial misalignment, and bacterial infections after the incurable injury.

Korean Yinyi said that what is more worrying about fish oil is that when high doses are taken, it may cause anticoagulation and bleeding again. According to the 2012 European Food Safety Guidelines, adults take EPA and DHA total of less than 5 grams per day, and the daily EPA is less than 1.8 grams, so there will be no doubt that bleeding will occur.

Korean Yinyi suggests that patients with brain injury use fish oil in the supplementary ward for treatment. After they recover to eat, there are many nutrients that can help regulate inflammation and immune response, and fish oil is just one of them. If the diet is balanced and you usually have the habit of eating fish, you don’t need additional supplementation.

Zhao Qiang also said that patients with brain injury should return to normal diet after they return to their diet and are discharged from the hospital. Common foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids include flax seed oil, canola oil, flax seeds, walnuts, as well as fish, stewed fish, stewed fish, and stewed fish. The ocean sources are better than plants. Vegetables are rich in phytochemicals and have anti-inflammatory effects.

Zhao strongly reminds that after opening the knife, drink fish soup or chicken soup, because the stomach tract absorbs quickly, the spirit will come soon. But soup water is not nutritious, it is not a long-term plan. It is still necessary to restore protein, vegetables, jujube and other foods. At the same time, pay attention to avoid fry roasted spicy foods that promote inflammation.
