What are the taboos for epilepsy patients?
1. Patients with epilepsy should limit their potassium intake. Patients with epilepsy caused by brain injury and patients taking sedatives for a long time are prone to dehydration, anemia, leukopenia and malnutrition. In severe cases, electrolyte metabolism disorder may occur. Foods with low potassium content include Chinese cabbage, carrot, radish, celery, pumpkin, tomato, eggplant, onion, cucumber, wax gourd, loofah, zucchini, pear, apple, grape and pineapple. 2. Epilepsy patients should appropriately limit carbohydrate intake. Epilepsy patients need heat energy and protein just like normal people, but they don't need too much carbohydrate, so it's advisable not to exceed 300 grams per day. Appropriately increase the supply of fat, which should account for about 60% of the total calories; Limit moisture, not more than 1000 ml per day. In addition, patients with epilepsy should combine work and rest. Overweight physical labor, excessive mental labor and strenuous physical exercise can all induce epilepsy. Therefore, epilepsy patients must pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Schools and society should not demand too much of children with epilepsy, and adults should not be too nervous and tired to avoid seizures.
