Patient's question:
My baby was carefully diagnosed with cerebral palsy a few weeks ago and is now receiving active treatment. The doctor said that in addition to rehabilitation therapy, special attention should be paid to diet. It is essential to enhance various nutrients. What kind of help is needed: How should children with cerebral palsy be properly fed?Doctor's answer:
Diet should be high in calories, high in protein, high in fat, high in fiber, and a balanced diet with a variety of different vitamins and trace elements. It should also digest calcium and vitamins A and D to prevent bone demineralization and porosity. The growth and development of brain cells in infants and young children with cerebral palsy depend on protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Eat small meals frequently, drink 1-2 glasses of light salt water daily to aid in the digestion of water and electrolytes.
