Patient's question:
Should epilepsy patients eat more sour foods? I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy last year, which was said to be triggered by mental stress. I was advised to pay attention to my mood.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy patients should consume more acidic foods and less salt: Acidic foods provide the body with rich Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and other nutrients, which help in the production of neurotransmitters, thereby compensating for some deficiencies in neurotransmitters in epilepsy patients, especially those with primary epilepsy, and increasing the risk of recurrence. In traditional diets, acidic foods mainly include peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chicken, ducks, geese, fish, shrimp, eggs, and so on. Epilepsy patients can adjust their diets accordingly, making reasonable combinations.
