Question
The child lacks physical activity due to epilepsy, has poor physical fitness, frequently gets sick, and occasionally experiences mild hand and foot twitching symptoms. The doctor suggests that exercise is needed. What are the benefits of exercise for epilepsy patients?
Answer
Exercise can enhance the excitability of the cerebral cortex in epilepsy patients, reduce inhibition, and stabilize the nervous system’s regulatory function for all organs in the body, thereby reducing the body’s adaptability to external environmental changes. In the process of treating epilepsy, adjusting the internal environment helps to eliminate internal triggers in patients, restore their adaptability to the external environment, and enhance their ability to resist external pathogens.
