Epilepsy is a very dangerous disease, because during a seizure, people will be unconscious convulsions, or even directly fall to the ground, so it is easy to fall and even threaten life. Epilepsy usually occurs in infants and young children, and if a child suffers a brain injury within a week or so, it is very likely to cause epilepsy, and epilepsy is also hereditary to a certain extent. It is precisely because this disease is so dangerous that it should be treated actively. In addition, in the process of treatment, but also do a good job of daily care, especially diet to pay special attention.

What do people with epilepsy need to pay attention to in their diet?

1, reasonable calcium

If epilepsy recurs many times, then it is very likely to cause the occurrence of low blood calcium. So in normal times epilepsy patients should eat more calcium-rich foods. Calcium can inhibit nerve excitation, so that the brain nerves in a normal state, so that the disease treatment will also be more effective. Common calcium-containing foods are sesame seeds, bone broth, shrimp, ribs, milk and so on.

2, reasonable supplementation of vitamin E

For epileptic patients, vitamin E is a particularly good substance, because this substance can play the role of antioxidant, so that the oxidation of the brain to be inhibited, common foods rich in vitamin E carrots, peanut oil, eggs, shellfish and so on. In addition, vitamin E also helps the metabolic organs to remove toxins and free radicals from the body, so that the brain structure is in a stable state, preventing the permeability of brain cells from increasing, which in turn can effectively prevent the appearance of convulsions. The convulsions are reduced, and the chance of epileptic recurrence will naturally be greatly reduced.

2, appropriate supplementation of vitamin B and vitamin C

Vitamin B and vitamin C are two essential nutrients, common foods rich in vitamin B and C are apples, oranges and so on. For people with epilepsy, these two ingredients become even more important. If the body lacks vitamin C, then the structure of the brain cells will be in a state of relaxation or tension; if the body lacks vitamin B, then the protein metabolism will be affected, the brain cells will become excited, and the brain structure will become unstable.

In addition to eating the above three types of food in their daily lives, people with epilepsy also need to develop proper eating habits. It is best to eat light meals, spicy and stimulating food is best to eat less or not eat. In addition, if you can develop a good habit of not drinking and not smoking, you can also reduce the condition of epilepsy patients. Because alcohol can make the brain excited, increasing the chance of seizures; and tobacco contains a lot of harmful substances, some of which can damage the brain nerve.
