summary

Epilepsy, a chronic brain disease, needs not only active treatment, but also daily maintenance. Diet is an essential part of every day. Only by paying attention to diet nursing can we speed up the recovery of the disease. Therefore, patients with epilepsy should pay more attention to diet in order to avoid frequent seizures, So as epilepsy patients should pay attention to what can not eat? Here is a detailed introduction.

Food that epileptics can't eat

Epileptic patients should avoid eating food inducing epilepsy: mutton, dog meat, rooster, wild duck, carp and other "hair" should not be eaten more; spirits, strong tea, coffee should be absolutely prohibited; pepper, pepper, mustard, scallion, garlic and other spicy condiments should also be appropriately limited.

Epilepsy patients should limit the intake of potassium: 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.

Epileptic patients 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. After long-term antiepileptic drug treatment, the blood zinc concentration of the patients was significantly lower than that before treatment, and some 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. Experts believe that antiepileptic drugs or other metabolites can effectively react with zinc ions, reduce the blood zinc concentration of patients with epilepsy, so as to control seizures. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to drug treatment, epilepsy patients should try to eat less or no zinc rich food in their daily life.
