Question
What dietary recommendations should epilepsy patients follow?
Answer
Epilepsy patients should aim for a diverse diet and consume nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods such as bread, legumes, lean meat, eggs, fish, and milk. It is recommended to eat more legumes, fresh vegetables, fruits, and dairy products that are rich in protein and phospholipids, which can help restore brain function and reduce the frequency of seizures. At the same time, they should consume fewer high-fat foods like goose and lamb and try to avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, scallions, garlic, etc., to facilitate recovery from the disease.
