Question
What should be noted in the diet of pediatric cerebral palsy patients?
Answer
The diet for cerebral palsy patients should be easy to digest and rich in protein and vitamins. Protein is crucial for intellectual development and memory thinking, and it is recommended to consume milk, soy milk, eggs, and other foods. At the same time, more vitamin A should be taken to enhance resistance and promote brain development; the B-complex vitamins help to increase appetite and metabolic function; vitamin D aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium. Carbohydrates should serve as the foundation of the diet, avoiding excessive variety that may affect appetite and nutritional balance.
