Patient's question:
I have had epilepsy for several years. I also pay close attention to it in my daily life, take my medication on time, and prevent seizures. However, recently, due to my lack of attention to my diet and inability to control myself, I suddenly had several relapses without knowing what I ate, which scared the children badly.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent episodes. So, what should epilepsy patients eat more of in their daily diet? To control the recurrence of epilepsy, diet is very important. The recurrence of epilepsy is caused by excessive nerve impulses, and when the body takes in excessive salt, high concentrations of sodium can lead to excessive nerve impulses, thereby triggering epilepsy. Therefore, patients must pay attention to eating less salty food. In daily life, patients can eat more acidic foods, which helps in the production of neurotransmitters. They can consume more peanuts, walnuts, pork, and other foods.
