Question

Auntie next door suddenly suffered from facial paralysis and is now in hospital for treatment. She’s back home and recovering completely. What fruits are best for facial paralysis patients to eat?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, facial paralysis is mainly caused by inflammation or swelling of the facial nerve due to cold. During the acute phase, medication is usually administered, combined with acupuncture and electrical therapy. After the condition stabilizes, there is a certain period of recovery time. During the recovery period, the diet should primarily focus on foods containing vitamins, especially Vitamin B1 and B12. Therefore, daily consumption of foods such as beans, brown rice, milk, and lean meat is recommended.
