Dietary regimen for epilepsy

  Treatment of epilepsy can be controlled by medication, but clinical medicine confirms that despite treatment, 20-35% of patients still have frequent seizures. Therefore, regulating the patient’s diet and adopting appropriate dietary regimens are on the agenda. It has been proven that a reasonable diet is effective in controlling epilepsy.  This diet is based on a 2:1 ratio of high protein and low carbohydrates, and experiments have shown that this method does have an anticonvulsant effect. The ideal dietary principles for epilepsy patients are: high protein, rich in calcium, more vitamin E, low salt and less water.  High protein] Epilepsy patients should usually take more high quality protein foods in their diet, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat, soy products and so on. Eggs, in particular, are good for improving memory and thinking.  [Calcium-rich] Calcium is one of the stress regulators of the central nervous system, which can inhibit neuroexcitation and is a cellular stabilizer, and has an important role in preventing seizures. The most effective, safest, and most scientific calcium supplement for the human body is milk and milk products such as cow and goat milk and their milk powder, cheese, yogurt, condensed milk, etc.; beans and soy products, seafood, etc. are also rich in calcium elements. The usual diet pay more attention to these foods, and actively supplement calcium.  Vitamin E has a role in inhibiting the oxidation of brain tissue, which is an antioxidant, and can eliminate toxic free radicals in the body; vitamin E is also a membrane stabilizer, which can inhibit the permeability of brain cell membranes, and play a role in preventing convulsions.  Foods that contain more vitamin E include lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, vegetable oils (corn oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, etc.), and nuts. In addition to food supplements, patients with epilepsy can also take vitamin E preparations under the guidance of their doctor.  Low salt and less water] Epilepsy patients who drink too much water or consume too much salt can be prompted to have seizures. Therefore, the diet of epilepsy patients should be low in salt and water. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get a good deal on your own.  The most important thing is that you should eat more bean sprouts, less food that can cause bloating and constipation, such as potatoes, yams, onions, radishes, etc., and more laxative food, such as bananas, honey, etc. Medical research has found that normal human brain cells contain phosphatase, epilepsy patients have a serious lack of brain, the unusual visible bean sprouts are rich in phosphatase. Therefore, epilepsy patients often eat bean sprouts can relieve the disease.
