How to prevent the onset of epilepsy

Patient's question:

It was because I ate some things I shouldn't have during my pregnancy that led to the child now suffering from epilepsy. Every time the child has a seizure, they lie on the ground and keep twitching uncontrollably, which looks very frightening.

Doctor's answer:

Hello.
① First of all, regarding diet, focus on light and easily digestible foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in nutrients. At the same time, avoid spicy and other highly stimulating foods, as well as quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid getting cold, getting caught in the rain, and showering with water that is too cold or too hot. Maintain a regular diet, eat meals on time, and avoid hunger and overeating.
② Another key point is to develop good living habits, get enough sleep, and rest at the right time.
③ Do not drink too much water at once to prevent triggering [a condition]. For those who have more frequent episodes, activities should be limited to indoor areas. When necessary, bed rest with railings should be provided to prevent falls.
