Question
What kind of foods should facial paralysis patients eat to help with their recovery?
Answer
Supplementing calcium and vitamin B complex elements is beneficial for facial nerve diseases. Calcium is not only good for bones and intelligence but also promotes normal muscle and nerve function. Since patients with facial nerve diseases mainly suffer from muscle atrophy due to facial nerve conduction disorders, calcium supplementation is important. Vitamin B complex elements are also helpful for facial nerve diseases, such as B1, B2, and B12. Vitamin B complex is rich in the following foods: coriander, tomatoes, winter melon, cucumbers, papayas, apples, pineapples, pears, peaches, watermelons, persimmons, and grapes. Vitamin B helps with the synthesis of neurotransmitters, so it should be supplemented appropriately.
