Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my son has been a bit off. While other children are crying and fussing, he has always been particularly quiet. Additionally, I feel that he is slow to react, so I took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed him with cerebral palsy.What kind of help do I need: What should be noted in the diet for children with cerebral palsy?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the diet for patients with cerebral palsy should pay attention to the following points:1. Food should be easy to digest and absorb, nutritious, and high-protein foods should be selected. Protein is the foundation of intellectual activity and is closely related to brain memory and thinking.
2. Carbohydrates such as rice, noodles, steamed buns, porridge, and pasta should be the main staple foods. Too much miscellaneous food can affect appetite and lead to nutritional disorders.
3. More vegetables and fruits should be consumed, while less fatty meat should be eaten. Vegetables and fruits contain vitamins and fiber, which can help maintain regular bowel movements.
