#Didyouknow your brain is the most voracious organ in your body, burning up more than one-fifth of your total energy supply? It prefers certain nutrients over others and requires a steady intake of fatty acids, glucose, vitamins and minerals. Eating other foods, however, such as processed meats or baked goods loaded with trans fats, may have a negative effect, increasing your risk of cognitive decline. Find out more about what you should be eating to fuel and replenish your hungry brain.

What is disc replacement surgery?
http://ow.ly/Ybzv30iPXKg
When the discs that protect and cushion the vertebrae of your spine become damaged, you will experience pain and may have mobility issues. One solution to the problem is disc replacement surgery, where the damaged discs are removed and replaced by artificial ones made from either metal or a polymer, or a blend of both. It may not be the best treatment for your particular case of back pain or degenerative disc disease – you'll need to discuss the pros and cons with your doctor.
Drs. Alan Appley and Jason Cormier at Acadiana Neurosurgery specialize in the advanced surgical techniques required for disc replacement surgery and they advise patients on a case by case basis. If you're in the Lafayette, Louisiana area and are considering surgical options for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, please give our office a call to arrange a consultation or request an appointment online.
