My barber is a former pro boxer. Early 40s. 10 pro fights and over 50 amateur bouts and he says his neck is in constant pain.

Damn, crazy but boxers know the risk. Sad that they go through that.

The brain injuries are no joke. The best boxer to ever come from my gym ( silver Olympic medal, as a pro 25-4 not sure about world title but was at least a top contender) is in his early 50s and is completely out of it now. We would see him pop into the gym once or twice every year but each time it was harder and harder to understand him. Now he requires full time care and some has power of attorney over him he can’t even make his own decisions anymore.
Now all four of his losses were by pretty bad KO and he was that typical guy who kept trying more comebacks. He fought a very aggressive style and would
Take a lot of punishment. It’s a hard thing to
Watch someone in go through that and it just keeps getting worse till they die.

Hamilcar Publications is going to be releasing a book on this topic in 2020, called "Damage." It is without question some difficult, serious stuff.

I remember reading in Micky Ward's memoir that he believes that most brain injury comes from sparring, not from fights. That is, of course there are risks in both, but because fighters will spend 100 rounds sparring for 10 rounds of fighting, it is way more likely the brain is getting rattled in those sparring sessions. And so yeah, he advocated for some way to reduce the damage in sparring, or reduce the sparring in training for fighters.

As a medical specialist, I can say that the conditions that cause disease in humans are nutrition. These can include deficiencies or excesses in the diet, obesity and eating disorders, and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and diabetes. Food-borne diseases also include developmental abnormalities that can be prevented by diet, inherited metabolic disorders that respond to food treatment, food and nutrient interactions with medications, food allergies and intolerances, and potential hazards in food supplies. I think that this is an index by which we can be guided in the diet.
