Vitamins are essential elements for the human body. What impact do vitamins have on epilepsy patients?
Epilepsy treatment experts explain that clinical studies show in some rare cases, a lack of vitamin B6 and vitamin D can trigger epileptic seizures. Epilepsy patients need to take anti-epileptic drugs for a long time, and these drugs can cause deficiencies in vitamin K, folic acid, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and other substances. Vitamin K is related to blood clotting, and its deficiency can easily lead to bleeding. Vegetables, soybean oil, and egg yolks generally contain large amounts of vitamin K. Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium are associated with bone and teeth growth. A lack of calcium can also exacerbate seizures and make them harder to control.
Therefore, during childhood, sufficient vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium should be provided. Fish, cod liver oil, fat, eggs, and milk all contain rich sources of vitamin D. Foods such as crabs, shrimp, eggs, bone powder, soybeans, tofu, sunflower seeds, walnuts, hawthorn, and pickled mustard greens contain considerable amounts of calcium. Millet, beans, and wheat contain abundant magnesium. Folic acid is related to epileptic seizures, and its deficiency can increase the frequency of seizures. Animal kidneys, beef, and green leafy vegetables all contain folic acid, but it can be easily destroyed during cooking, so attention should be paid to not overcooking. Vitamin B6 is related to the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
