Patient's question:
My dear grandfather, he is now 68 years old. He has been diagnosed with motor neuron disease. Currently, his granddaughter is taking care of him. He needs to be with her every day, especially regarding his diet. What should one pay attention to in terms of diet when suffering from motor neuron disease?Doctor's answer:
It may be necessary to pay attention to a balanced diet. Appropriate supplementation of high-quality protein is required. Rehabilitation exercises need sufficient energy supply. There may be no effective treatment for motor neuron disease. Western medicine generally adopts methods such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing nerves, and using hormone drugs. There may be no specific drugs. A light diet is easy to supplement. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of boiled water. Eat less spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods.
