Epilepsy
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Consider a ketogenic diet | To help reduce seizures in children, consult a specialist trained in initiating and supervising this special diet. | |
| Try the Atkins diet | Some epileptics have become seizure-free on the Atkins diet, which is similar to the ketogenic diet but is easier to follow, as it allows more protein and has fewer calorie restrictions. | |
| Uncover food sensitivities | Work with a knowledgeable professional to find out if eliminating certain foods reduces seizure frequency. |
