What should epileptic patients eat? Studies at home and abroad show that in people's daily diet, some foods have certain influence on the seizure of epilepsy. Some alkaline foods can induce seizures, while some acidic foods can inhibit seizures. The ancient books of Chinese medicine "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" and "Puji Fang" all mentioned the treatment of epilepsy with eggs. Therefore, for epileptic patients, a scientific and reasonable diet can not only provide them with enough nutrition, but also play a positive role in controlling their illness. The specific method is as follows: 1. Epilepsy patients should eat more acidic food and less salty acidic food to provide rich vitamin C and vitamin B6 for human body, which is beneficial to neurotransmitters. 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, 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. Patients with epilepsy should 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 the serum manganese of 1/3 epileptic children is lower than that of normal children. There was once a child of 15 years old whose serum manganese was half less than that of normal children, so eating more beans and cereals could supplement the manganese of 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. 3. Epilepsy patients need to control drinking water. Some scholars believe: "diencephalon is the water-liquid regulation center of human body, and a large amount of liquid entering the body will increase the burden of diencephalon." Thereby 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. 4. Dietary health care for epileptic patients is one of the rehabilitation methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the dual functions of nutrition and drug treatment. Dialectical use of medicated diet is beneficial to the treatment and rehabilitation of epilepsy patients. Here are some methods: (1) radish 1000g, 20g white pepper, boiled pig's head with proper amount of water, and seasoned, and eaten twice a month. (2) Jujube 30g, white pepper 15g, rock sugar 50g, floating wheat 10g, decocted in water, 1 dose, once every other day and taken twice. (3) Cucumber vine 60g (chopped) is added with 3 cups of water, decocted for 2 cups, and taken orally twice. (4) Stewed sheep brain with pine nuts: sheep brain 1, medlar 30g, a little water, put in a casserole, slow fire 1 hour, twice a month. 2. Nutrition and diet therapy for epileptic patients Choose high-calcium and digestible foods: Correct diet is the key to control epilepsy. Choose foods with high calcium content and good digestibility, and drink acidic dairy products, such as yogurt and caffeine. Drink green fruit and vegetable juices (including mung beans, seaweed, beets, carrots and red grapes). Also eat raw drupes, seeds, spinach, beet leaves, soybeans, green leafy vegetables, eggs, milk and raw cheese. Nutritional supplement: Nutritional supplement is very important for epilepsy patients. Here are some essential nutrients. (1)L- taurine and L- tyramine acid, 500mg each time, three times a day. Help the brain to return to normal function. (2) When magnesium (magnesium chloride) is on an empty stomach between meals, take 700 mg every day, together with apple vinegar or betaine hydrochloride. Magnesium chloride is an excellent source of magnesium, which can help nerve conduction and treat dizziness, muscle twitching and other symptoms. (3) Vitamins B6 and B 12 should be taken on an empty stomach for many times under the guidance of a doctor. All vitamin B is extremely important for the central nervous system. It is very important for the transmission of nerve impulses, which can prevent nerve damage and maintain the normal function of the brain. (4) Calcium daily1500mg. It is one of the important factors to regulate the activities of the central nervous system, which can inhibit the excitability of nerves, help the normal transmission of nerve impulses and play an important role in the seizure of epilepsy. (5)DMG (gluconic acid) 50 mg is taken sublingually, once in the morning and once in the evening. Promote immune response. (6) Germanium 200 mg per day. Improve the oxidation capacity of cells (7) Chromium is 200 micrograms per day. It is important for carbohydrate metabolism in the brain. Tar form is effective. (8) 5 capsules of kelp or alfalfa per day. Supplementing various essential minerals. (9) protein catabolic enzymes and digestive enzymes contribute to digestion and absorption, restore body functions and repair tissues and cells. (10) Raw (unrefined) thymus concentrate and thyroid extract are labeled according to the product. Both of them are important for the function of the brain. (1 1) Vitamin A and E Vitamin A are 25000IU a day. It is an important antioxidant and helps to protect brain function. Vitamin E starts from 400IU and gradually increases to 1600IU, which is helpful for blood circulation and immune function.
