Question
My baby is now five years old, and I recently feel like he might have cerebral palsy. However, I’m not very familiar with cerebral palsy.
Answer
The treatment for cerebral palsy mainly focuses on rehabilitation training. Depending on the child’s training progress, surgical intervention may be appropriate at the right time to create good conditions for recovery. In terms of diet, it’s important to enhance nutrition by choosing high-protein foods, as protein is the foundation of intellectual activities and is closely related to the brain’s memory and thinking. Milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, and meat are all rich in protein. It is recommended that the diet for cerebral palsy include foods high in vitamins, as vitamin A can enhance the body’s resistance and promote brain development. The B-complex vitamins can improve various metabolic functions and increase appetite. Vitamin D helps with the absorption and utilization of calcium.
