In today's video, Dr. Pragati Gupta will discuss the food items that are good for epilepsy patients. We will also discuss the mistakes you shouldn't commit as an epilepsy patient. So, watch the video till the end.

What are the best foods for epilepsy?
Epileptic patients should opt for a ketogenic diet that is very low-carb and high-fat.

The reason behind a fit might be the deficiency of sodium and potassium in the body, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, or a sudden fall in the sugar values of a person. Trauma or any injury in the head are some external factors of a fit.

Diet plays an important role in epilepsy.

What food items should you add to your diet?

Unrefined Carbohydrates - Oatmeal, brown rice, pulses, or beans. High fiber foods like fruits and vegetables are also considered unrefined carbohydrates and should be eaten in epilepsy because it prevents hypoglycemia.

Vitamins and Minerals - Potassium and sodium deficiency can cause a seizure. Therefore, vitamins and minerals in the body should be present in an optimum amount.

Lean protein - Eat a lean protein diet that your body can easily digest and doesn't increase fat concentration. A lean protein diet includes eggs, fish, soybean, and milk.

Vitamin B6, Magnesium, and Calcium - Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Bananas, Avocados, and salmon fish are rich sources of Vitamin B6. Bananas, almonds, spinach, and pumpkin seeds are rich sources of magnesium, and dairy products like milk, butter, buttermilk, and curd are rich sources of calcium that provide our body strength and energy.

Sodium - An epileptic patient should intake sodium as required by the body. Salt is a rich source of sodium. High blood pressure patients shouldn't consume much salt as it triggers epileptic seizures.

Water - You should intake a wealthy amount of water as dehydration is also a major cause of epilepsy. You can also opt for coconut water. Coconut water is a rich source of sodium and electrolytes. However, a diabetic patient shouldn't drink much coconut water.
