Nutritional needs are determined by a few key factors. First, the overall stress burden on the body, second the digestive ability of the body and third previous exposure to diminished nutrient quality. People living with cerebral palsy have an increased need for adequate nutrition because of the increased stress burden of the body and because the multiple interventions common among people with this condition create an environment of diminished digestive ability. Essential nutrition must begin at birth and then be considered a critical part of all ongoing care. There are five basic rules of optimal nutrition that can be paired with four basic supplementation guidelines and the use of acupuncture that will magnify and improve overall health, energy, inflammatory response and quality of life in most people living with CP. The guidelines do not vary much from the optimal nutritional needs of all people; however, when there is a greater need in the body, it is essential for good nutrition to be applied with great care. If deficiencies of basic nutrients develop, or digestive inflammation sets in, it is harder to treat when multiple problems present at one time. Applying good nutrition from birth prevents having to manage consequences later and will provide essential inflammatory control.
The deficits associated with CP are often static, but additional problems can develop when malfunction of one area affects another part of the body, this is where nutritional support is essential.
