Question
My child’s language expression ability is significantly behind, and it takes longer for them to learn basic vocabulary like ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’. At five years old, their walking is still unstable, often falling. Their intellectual level is obviously lower than that of their peers. How should one effectively treat intellectual disability?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a condition that cannot be cured naturally. Patients require specialized education and scientific rehabilitation training to improve their intellectual abilities. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid monosodium glutamate, reduce the consumption of sugary drinks, yogurt, and puffed snacks. It is recommended to consume foods like eggs, milk, and potatoes. The diet should focus on high calories, high protein, high fat, high fiber, and a balanced intake of various vitamins and trace elements. Additionally, while seeking professional treatment, patients may also consider using folk remedies as complementary treatments. In daily life, one should avoid overeating or undereating, and prevent binge eating and fasting.
