Patient's question:
What foods are beneficial for the body's recovery from Bell's palsy?Doctor's answer:
Supplementing with calcium and B vitamins is beneficial for facial nerve diseases. Calcium not only benefits bones and intelligence but also promotes normal muscle and nerve function. Since patients with facial nerve diseases primarily suffer from facial nerve conduction disorders leading to muscle atrophy, supplementing with calcium is crucial. B vitamins, such as B1, B2, and B12, are also helpful for facial nerve diseases. B vitamins are rich in the following foods: cilantro, tomatoes, winter melon, cucumbers, papayas, apples, pineapples, pears, peaches, watermelons, apricots, persimmons, and grapes. B vitamins aid in the synthesis of neurotransmitter substances, so it is advisable to supplement appropriately.
