What should patients with facial paralysis pay attention to in their diet?

Patient's question:

Now not laughing and not speaking is not very obvious, as long as there is a facial movement, the left side of the face will not move, no matter what movement it is. Puffing the cheeks forcefully will leak air, eyes cannot close, no tears. I feel that the side affected by the disease is larger than the normal side. Previously, acupuncture, medication, applying ointments, and cupping had no effect.

Doctor's answer:

Dietary precautions for patients with facial paralysis:
1. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and fish.
2. Maintain a cheerful and relaxed mood, balance work and rest, and get adequate sleep.
3. Reduce external stimuli, such as: television, computers, ultraviolet light, etc.
4. Patients should avoid washing their faces with cold water and protect their head and face from wind, rain, and cold.
5. Appropriately increase the intake of B vitamins.
