First: the diet of epilepsy should be diversified as far as possible. We should eat more beans, fresh vegetables, fruits and dairy products, which are rich in high protein and phospholipids, to help the recovery of brain function and reduce the number of seizures.

Epileptic diet should not eat more food with high zinc content: the blood zinc concentration of epileptic patients was determined, and it was found that the average blood zinc content of almost all epileptic patients was significantly higher than that of normal people. Antiepileptic drugs or other metabolites can effectively react with zinc ions, reduce the blood zinc concentration of epileptic patients, so as to control seizures.
