What are the STRICT do's and dont's in terms of diet and physical activity for an epilepsy patient?

Question

The purpose of this question is to control recurence of seizures inspite of taking medicines regularly.

Answer 1

Ask your doctor about the Ketogenic Diet. This diet overloads the body in certain types of fatty acids, forcing the body to produce ketones (a type of chemical). The Ketogenic Diet has been shown to control seizures in children, but it's effectiveness in adults has not been proven.

As for activities, avoid anything that makes you breathe heavily for a long time (over five minues). Rapid breathing can make a person have a seizure just like flashing lights can, though it's not nearly as common.

Eat right, exercise in moderation, get plenty of sleep, and you should be on the road to bringing your seizures under control.

Answer 2

Try to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. Excercise.

Try not to take alcohol. If you have too, do not take too much, as it might trigger a seizure.

If you have medication prescribed to you. Take it regularly. Try not to miss your usual dosage.

Answer 3

follow the Canada food guide and cycle and swim at a "Y" or other supervised pool. this keeps the body functioning proper.
