High-fat foods: High-fat foods may worsen symptoms of limb numbness, so it is advisable to avoid high-fat foods such as fatty meats and fried chicken.
Spicy and stimulating foods: Spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers, ginger, and garlic may also exacerbate numbness in the right leg and should be avoided as much as possible.
Stimulating beverages: Stimulating beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee and tea, may also have adverse effects on numbness in the right leg. It is recommended to reduce or avoid consumption.
In addition, excessive intake of irritants such as salt and alcohol, as well as high-sugar foods, should also be avoided, as they may negatively affect the nervous system and worsen numbness in the right leg.
