Epilepsy is commonly known as "" (yáng jiǎo fēng). Epilepsy patients should strive for a diversified diet, consuming nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods such as bread, beans, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk. It is particularly important to include more beans, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, as these foods are rich in high-quality protein and phospholipids, which help in restoring brain function and reducing the frequency of seizures. Additionally, epilepsy patients should increase their magnesium intake. Epilepsy patients often lack magnesium, especially those on long-term medication, such as those taking phenytoin for extended periods, which can lead to osteoporosis. In addition to a high-calcium diet, attention should also be paid to magnesium intake.
