Preventive measures for epilepsy
1. Epilepsy patients should eat more acidic food.

Acidic food provides rich vitamin C and vitamin b6 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 seizures. Acidic foods in traditional foods include peanuts, walnuts, pork, beef, chickens, ducks and geese, fish, shrimp and eggs. Epilepsy patients can adjust their recipes appropriately and match them reasonably. In addition, high concentration of sodium salt can cause excessive discharge of neurons, thus inducing epilepsy. Therefore, the regimen of "less salt and more vinegar" that people often say is still applicable to epilepsy patients and can play a certain health care role.

2. Epilepsy patients eat more beans and cereals.

Studies have shown that beans and cereals (such as soybeans, lentils, wheat, etc. ) is rich in trace element manganese, and some surveys show that 1/3 patients with epilepsy have lower serum manganese than normal people. There was once a child of 15 years old, whose serum manganese was half less than that of normal people, so eating more beans and cereals could 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 relieve feelings. In addition to many dietary taboos, patients should also pay attention to scientific drinking water during the process.

3. Epilepsy patients should avoid overeating.

Hunger or satiety can induce seizures: excessive hunger can reduce blood sugar levels, while hypoglycemia often induces seizures; After satiety, blood sugar level will rise rapidly, insulin secretion in the body will increase, and glucose metabolism will accelerate. The blood sugar level will be high first and then low, and it will fluctuate greatly, which will also induce epilepsy. Therefore, when you are excessively hungry, it is forbidden to eat sugary foods and irritating foods, and you should also avoid eating foods that induce epilepsy. Studies show that epilepsy patients should try to reduce the intake of the following foods: mutton, dog meat, rooster, wild duck, carp and other "hair" should not be eaten more; Spirits, strong tea and coffee should be absolutely forbidden; Spicy condiments such as pepper, pepper, mustard, green onion and garlic should also be properly limited. Epilepsy patients should eat more fruits, vegetables and foods rich in protein. You can eat more foods with good magnesium content: millet, corn, adzuki beans, soybeans, dried tofu, vegetables, celery, beef liver, chicken and so on.

4. Excitatory drinks can induce epilepsy.

Caffeine contained in excitatory drinks can excite brain cells, discharge abnormally and induce seizures.

5, drinking alcohol can induce seizures.

Alcohol can make the nervous system highly excited, reduce the threshold of epileptic focus and easily induce epileptic seizures. In addition, causing trouble after drinking, causing personal injury or brain damage, followed by epilepsy.
