1, epileptic patients should not eat more food containing high zinc The blood zinc concentration of epileptic patients was measured and it was found that the average blood zinc content of almost all epileptic patients was significantly higher than normal people. In patients who had been treated with long-term antiepileptic drugs, the blood zinc concentration was significantly lower than before the use of the drug, and some even showed certain symptoms of zinc deficiency. This indicates that the occurrence of epilepsy is closely related to the increase of zinc content in the body, especially in the brain. Experts believe that antiepileptic drugs or other metabolites can effectively complex with zinc ions to reduce the blood zinc concentration of epileptic patients, thus controlling seizures. Therefore, epileptic patients should pay attention to the treatment of¥¥ and should try to eat less or no zinc-rich food in daily life. 2. Limit the intake of potassium Patients with epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury and those who take sedative drugs for a long time are prone to dehydration, anemia, leukopenia, malnutrition, etc. Serious patients may develop disorders of electrolyte metabolism (hyperkalemia). When the diet contains too much potassium, it will increase the patient’s blood potassium level, so the potassium intake of epilepsy patients should not exceed 3 grams per day. Adult body contains 20 to 25 grams of magnesium, about half of the set in the bone, the magnesium in the bone can not supply the body cells to use. If magnesium deficiency, in addition to the impact of bone formation, but also can lead to muscle tremors, mental tension. 4, appropriate to limit the intake of carbohydrates epilepsy patients need the same calories and protein as normal people, and carbohydrates do not need too much, to not more than 300 grams per day; appropriate to increase the supply of fat, 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; adequate supply of vitamins and minerals, especially iron, calcium and other elements; prohibit the consumption of foods containing much sugar and stimulating foods.
