Dietary precautions for children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Health consultation description: My child suddenly developed a head tilt and crossed eyes when starting school last year. He frequently lost his temper and didn't listen to the teacher. After calling me, we immediately took him to the hospital. Three days later, the doctor diagnosed my child with cerebral palsy. His condition has gradually stabilized since then. What should we pay attention to in his diet in daily life?

Doctor's answer:

Dietary considerations for patients with cerebral palsy should pay attention to the following points:
1. Food should be easy to digest and absorb, nutritious, and high in protein. Protein is the foundation of intellectual activity and is closely related to brain memory and thinking.
2. The diet should be based on carbohydrates such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, porridge, and pasta. Too much miscellaneous food can interfere with appetite and lead to nutritional disorders.
3. More vegetables and fruits should be consumed, while fatty meats should be eaten less. The vitamins and fiber in vegetables and fruits can help maintain regular bowel movements.
