What do people with epilepsy need to pay attention to when it comes to their diet?

Legumes and cereals, such as soybeans, lentils, buckwheat, etc., are rich in the trace element manganese, and eating more can help people with blood group A digest, supplement protein, and also supplement the insufficient intake of manganese in epilepsy patients.

Studies have shown that anti-epileptic drugs can cause deficiencies in vitamin K, folic acid, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and other substances. Vitamin K is associated with blood clotting and can cause bleeding when deficient. Vegetables, soybean oil and egg yolks generally contain high amounts of vitamin K.

Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium are related to the growth of bones and teeth, and calcium deficiency is also prone to aggravation and difficult to control. So. Adequate vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium should be provided during childhood.

Fish, cod liver oil, fat, eggs, and milk are rich in vitamin D. Foods such as crabs, shrimps, eggs, bone meal, soybeans, tofu, melon seeds, walnuts, hawthorn, and mustard contain a considerable amount of calcium. Millet, beans, and wheat are rich in magnesium.

Folic acid has been associated with seizures, and deficiency can lead to increased seizures. Animal kidneys, beef, and green leafy vegetables all contain folic acid, but it is easy to be destroyed during cooking, so it should be noted that the cooking time should not be too long. Vitamin B6 is related to the production of aminobutyric acid.

Rice bran is the most abundant in vitamin B6, and wheat bran, beef liver, and salmon also contain a lot of vitamin B6.

Eat more acidic food and less salt.

Acidic food provides the human body with abundant vitamin C, vitamin B6, etc., which is conducive to the synthesis of neurotransmitters, thereby making up for the deficiency of some neurotransmitters in epilepsy patients, especially primary epilepsy patients, and reducing epileptic seizures.

Acidic foods in traditional foods include: peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chicken, duck, goose, fish, shrimp, eggs, etc. There are also studies that show that:

The seizures of epilepsy are caused by excessive nerve discharge, and when the human body consumes excessive salt in a short period of time, high concentrations of sodium salt can cause excessive discharge of neurons, thereby inducing epilepsy.

Eat more legumes and cereals.

Studies have shown that beans or cereals make things roll.

Such as soybeans, lentils, wheat, etc.

Rich in trace element manganese, eating more can supplement the insufficient intake of manganese in epilepsy patients. According to other studies, there is a certain amount of phosphatase in normal brain cells, but the brain of epilepsy patients is seriously deficient in this enzyme, and bean sprouts are rich in nitrophosphatase substances, so eating bean sprouts can supplement phosphatase deficiency and alleviate the condition.

Control your water intake. Some scholars believe that "the diencephalon, which is the regulatory center of human body fluids, and a large amount of fluid entering the body will increase the burden on the diencephalon, thereby inducing epilepsy."

Moreover, some epilepsy patients often have a sudden onset in the process of holding urine, probably because the bladder is overfilled after drinking too much water, resulting in a strong electrical impulse, which is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons.

For epilepsy patients, a scientific and reasonable diet can not only provide patients with sufficient nutrition, but also play a positive role in the control of the disease. Experts from the Epilepsy Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Qingdao Modern Hospital told us that the diet of epilepsy patients should do the following:1

Eat more acidic food and less salt2Eat more legumes, cereals3Control your water intake.

Some scholars believe that "the diencephalon is the water regulation center of the human body, and a large amount of fluid entering the body will increase the burden of the diencephalon." This induces epilepsy.

Moreover, some epilepsy patients often have a sudden onset in the process of holding urine, probably because the bladder is overfilled after drinking too much water, resulting in a strong electrical impulse and inducing abnormal neuronal discharge.

Patients with epilepsy should remember to eat a low-salt and low-fat diet on weekdays, do not overeat, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. It is forbidden to drink coffee, as well as strong tea, and to stop smoking and drinking. Get enough sleep to avoid joy and sorrow.

Take care to relax and don't feel too anxious because of the illness.

Epilepsy patients need to pay attention to whether the food they eat has any effect on the drugs they take and whether it will affect the blood concentration of antiepileptic drugs.

Alcohol is definitely not to be drunk, tea and coffee can cause nervous excitement, don't drink it either! Take the medicine regularly, and you can't increase or decrease the dosage by yourself! If you usually take other medicines, it is best to ask your doctor as well!

Usually tea and coffee, well, you can't, and beef and mutton are not recommended to eat.

Hello, this is mainly in daily life do not eat spicy.
