Many people think that acidic food means eating acidic food, such as strawberries and lemons. In fact, these things are typical alkaline foods, not acidic foods. The criteria for judging whether food belongs to acidic food are: the content of calcium and phosphorus, and acidic foods with high calcium and phosphorus content, such as peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chickens, ducks and geese, fish, shrimp and eggs, cheese and desserts.
2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins K and D and calcium and magnesium.
Long-term use of antiepileptic drugs will affect the digestive system, leading to patients' lack of nutrients or metabolic disorders, such as vitamin K, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin D, and calcium, magnesium and other substances. Experts from Beijing Guangji Epilepsy Hospital said that patients with epilepsy should pay attention to supplementing these nutrients. Fresh vegetables, soybean oil and egg yolk contain a lot of vitamin K. Vitamin D, calcium and magnesium are related to the growth of bones and teeth, and calcium deficiency is easy to aggravate the attack, so adequate vitamin D, calcium and magnesium should be supplemented in childhood. Fish, eggs, animal livers, beef and green vegetables all contain folic acid. Rice, wheat bran, beef liver and fish contain a lot of vitamin B6.
What should teenagers pay attention to in epilepsy diet?
1, avoid frying greasy food: Chinese medicine believes that this disease is related to phlegm and heat evil. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat goose, mutton and fried foods to avoid phlegm accumulation and summer wind.
2. Avoid drinking plenty of water and salt: Because seizures start from diencephalon, which is the center of body fluid regulation, a large amount of liquid entering the body will increase the burden on diencephalon, which will lead to seizures; Because epileptic seizures are related to excessive discharge of neurons, the human body ingests too much salt in a short time, and sodium ions will lead to excessive discharge of neurons; And induce diseases. Therefore, teenagers' epilepsy diet should minimize water and salt, including fruit juice, cola, watermelon, pickles and so on.
3, avoid overeating, uneven hunger: overeating or hunger can also induce epilepsy, because the gastrointestinal tract is overburdened or hungry, which will cause hypoglycemia and produce reflex stimulation to the brain. And cause diseases.
4, avoid irritating food: adolescent epilepsy diet should absolutely prohibit drinking, because alcohol is a protoplasm poison, which will cause obstacles to conditioned reflex activities, and even hurt the mind and consume blood, make nerves excited and induce epilepsy. In addition, we should also pay attention to drinking less other stimulating drinks, such as coffee and strong tea.
5, eat less alkaline food: such as some vegetables (amaranth, gray vegetables, etc.). ) and edible alkali. If the blood is alkaline, it is not conducive to the decomposition of calcium compounds, so that blood calcium is reduced and nerve excitability is enhanced, thus promoting the attack. Diet should be mixed with meat and vegetables, and acid-base balance can help prevent recurrence.
