First, it is not advisable to eat more foods with high zinc content. 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 that of normal people. After long-term use of antiepileptic drugs, the blood zinc concentration of patients decreased significantly compared with that before treatment, and some even showed some symptoms of zinc deficiency.
Second, the intake of potassium should be limited. Patients with epilepsy caused by brain trauma and patients who take sedatives for a long time are prone to dehydration, anemia, leukopenia and malnutrition. In severe cases, electrolyte metabolism disorder (hyperkalemia) may occur.
Third, the intake of carbohydrates should be properly restricted. The sum of heat energy needed by epileptic patients is the same as that of normal people, but carbohydrates are not needed very much. Appropriate to increase the supply of fat, the daily limit is not more than 300 grams, and the water content is limited to about 60% of the total calories. The daily limit of salt should not exceed 1000 ml, and the daily limit should not exceed 3 grams. In particular, the diet of epileptic patients containing iron, calcium and other elements is forbidden to eat, which contains more sugar.
Four, should avoid eating food that induces epilepsy, mutton, dog meat, rooster, wild duck, carp and other hair products should not eat more spirits, strong tea, coffee, pepper, pepper, mustard, green onions, garlic and other spicy condiments should also be appropriately limited.
The above is an introduction to the precautions of disease diet. I hope everyone can pay attention to it, keep in mind the dietary requirements, and avoid aggravating the illness due to bad eating habits, or the recurrence of the illness, which will bring serious damage to the body.
