Patient's question:
The child has just turned ten years old this year, and yet they already have epilepsy. They have had two episodes, during which their whole body would twitch, lying on the ground with their eyes staring straight ahead. I'm very worried that the child might have a seizure when they are out. What should epilepsy patients pay attention to in their diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Epilepsy patients should consume more beans and grains in their diet. Beans and grains are rich in trace element manganese, so eating more of these foods can help supplement the insufficient intake of manganese in epilepsy patients. Epilepsy patients should also increase their magnesium intake. Since epilepsy patients are often deficient in magnesium, especially those who need long-term medication.
