So what can’t epilepsy patients eat? What can I eat? 1, epileptic patients should limit the intake of potassium. Patients with epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury and long-term sedation drugs are prone to dehydration, anemia, leukopenia, malnutrition, etc. Serious patients can develop disorders of electrolyte metabolism (hyperkalemia). Foods with low potassium salts include rape hearts, baby carrots, white radishes, celery, pumpkin, tomatoes, eggplant, scallions, cucumbers, winter squash, loofahs, zucchini, duck pears, apples, grapes, pineapples, etc. 2, epileptic patients should properly limit the intake of carbohydrates. The caloric energy and protein required by epileptic patients are the same as normal people, while carbohydrates do not need too much, and it is appropriate to not exceed 300 grams per day; appropriately increase the supply of fat, which should account for about 60% of the total calories; limit water, not more than 1000 ml per day; salt not more than 3 grams per day; adequately supply vitamins and minerals, especially iron, calcium and other elements; prohibit the consumption of foods containing more sugar and The food should not be used as an incentive. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get a lot of money for your own personalized products. The average blood zinc content of almost all epileptic patients was found to be significantly higher than that of normal people. In patients treated with long-term antiepileptic drugs, the blood zinc concentration decreased significantly compared to the pre-drug level, and some even showed certain zinc deficiency symptoms. 4, epileptic patients should increase the intake of magnesium. Epilepsy patients often lack magnesium, especially patients who need long-term drug therapy, such as long-term use of sodium phenytoin, easy to cause osteoporosis, in addition to giving a high calcium diet, should also pay attention to the intake of magnesium. Adult body contains 20-25 grams of magnesium, about half of the set in the middle bones, the magnesium in the bones can not supply the body cells to use. If magnesium deficiency, in addition to affect the bone bone formation, but also can lead to muscle tremors, mental tension. Magnesium-rich foods are millet, corn, red lentils, soybeans, dried tofu, green vegetables, celery, beef liver, chicken and so on. Adult men need 350 mg per day to maintain magnesium balance. 5, epileptic patients should avoid epilepsy-inducing foods. The “hairy things” such as mutton, dog meat, male chicken, wild duck, carp should not be eaten; strong wine, strong tea, coffee should be absolutely prohibited; pepper, chili, mustard, onion, garlic and other spicy condiments should also be appropriately limited.
