Patient's question:
My brother has had epilepsy since he was a child. Recently, he has been drinking milk, but his epilepsy attacks have been very rare. My mother says that drinking milk can prevent epilepsy, but I have never believed it. Is it true that drinking milk can prevent epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Fat: Milk contains a certain amount of fat, and the fat in milk is fine fat particles dispersed in the milk, making it easy for epilepsy patients to digest and absorb.Inorganic Salts: Milk also contains inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. The calcium in milk is more easily absorbed and utilized by patients compared to that in vegetables, making it a better dietary choice for epilepsy patients to supplement nutrition. For epilepsy patients, drinking 200-300 milliliters of milk daily is most suitable.
