What to eat after epileptic seizure

summary

During the period of severe or frequent seizures of epilepsy, the nerve excitability will increase, which is prone to alkalosis or decrease of blood calcium. Therefore, we should supplement food rich in zinc and calcium, which can calm the central nervous system and inhibit the excitability of nerve cells. Calcium rich foods include celery, potherb mustard, rape, small white tea, shepherd's purse, mustard, red fruit, dried sour jujube, fried almond, fried pumpkin seed, hazelnut, pig kidney, milk, cheese, salted duck egg, egg yolk, small yellow croaker, snail, clam, sea cucumber, shrimp skin, sesame paste, etc.

What to eat after epileptic seizure

The intake of carbohydrate should be limited in epileptic patients. Epilepsy patients need the same energy and protein as normal people, but carbohydrates don't need too much. It's better not to exceed 300 grams per day. Appropriately increase the supply of fat, which should account for about 60% of the total calories. Limit water, which should not exceed 1000 ml per day. Salt, which should not exceed 3 grams per day. Fully supply vitamins and minerals, especially iron, calcium and other elements; It is forbidden to eat foods with high sugar content and irritating foods.

Patients with epilepsy should limit their potassium intake. Epilepsy patients caused by brain trauma and patients taking sedative drugs for a long time are prone to dehydration, anemia, leucopenia, malnutrition, etc. severe epilepsy patients may have electrolyte metabolic disorder (hyperkalemia). When the diet contains too much potassium, it will increase the patient's blood potassium content, so the intake of potassium in patients with epilepsy should not exceed 3 grams per day.

The diet of epileptic patients should not eat more food with high zinc content. It is found that the average level of blood zinc in almost all patients with epilepsy is higher than that in normal people. After long-term antiepileptic drug treatment, the blood zinc concentration of the patients was significantly lower than that before treatment, and some patients even had some symptoms of zinc deficiency. This indicates that the occurrence of epilepsy is closely related to the increase of zinc content in the body, especially in the brain

matters needing attention

We should be able to achieve effective control of the onset of epilepsy, so that its incidence can be traced, can effectively guarantee the life safety of patients, at the same time, patients should have a firm attitude towards the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, which is related to the cure of epilepsy.
