How do epileptic patients control their diet?
1, eat more acid and less salt.

Acidic food provides rich vitamin C and vitamin B_6 for human body, which is beneficial to the synthesis of neurotransmitters, thus making up for the lack of some neurotransmitters in epileptic patients, especially in patients with primary epilepsy, and reducing the seizures.

Acidic foods in traditional foods include peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chickens, ducks and geese, fish, shrimp and eggs. In addition, some studies show that the seizure of epilepsy is caused by excessive discharge of nerves, and when the human body ingests excessive salt in a short time, high concentration of sodium salt will cause excessive discharge of neurons, thus inducing epilepsy, so the regimen of "less salt and more vinegar" that people often say is still applicable to epilepsy patients.

2. Eat more beans and cereals.

Studies have shown that beans and cereals (such as soybeans, lentils, wheat, etc. ) are rich in trace element manganese, and eating more can supplement the insufficient intake of manganese in epileptic patients. Another study shows that there is a certain amount of phosphatase in normal brain cells, but the brain of epileptic patients is seriously short of this enzyme, and bean sprouts are rich in nitrophosphatase, so eating bean sprouts can supplement the lack of phosphatase and alleviate the condition.

Step 3 control drinking water

Some scholars believe: "diencephalon is the center of body fluid regulation, and a large amount of liquid entering the body will increase the burden of diencephalon, thus inducing epilepsy." Moreover, some epileptic patients often have a sudden attack in the process of holding their urine, which may be because the bladder is overfilled after drinking too much water, which produces strong electric pulses and induces abnormal discharge of neurons. Generally speaking, there are peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chickens, ducks and geese, fish, shrimp and eggs. In addition, some studies show that the seizure of epilepsy is caused by excessive discharge of nerves, and when the human body ingests excessive salt in a short time, high concentration of sodium salt will cause excessive discharge of neurons, thus inducing epilepsy, so the regimen of "less salt and more vinegar" that people often say is still applicable to epilepsy patients.
