Can epilepsy eat American ginseng
First, epilepsy can eat American ginseng, but eat less, eat too much may cause seizures.
Secondly, the intake of potassium should be limited: epilepsy patients caused by brain trauma and patients taking sedative drugs for a long time are prone to dehydration, anemia, leucopenia, malnutrition, and severe 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 foods with low potassium content include rape heart, radish, white radish, celery, pumpkin, tomato, eggplant, onion, cucumber, wax gourd, towel gourd, zucchini, Yali, apple, grape, pineapple, etc.
Third, it is not suitable to eat more food with high zinc content: the blood zinc concentration of patients with epilepsy was determined, and it was found that the average blood zinc content of almost all patients with epilepsy was significantly higher than that of normal people.
