Summary: <p>Today I want to share some important information for those of you who experience seizures. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Common triggers of seizures: </p> <p> • Fever </p> <p> • Head injury </p> <p> • Brain infection </p> <p> • Choking </p> <p> • Alcohol </p> <p> • Drug withdrawal </p> <p> • Extremely low blood sugar </p> <p> • Drugs</p> <p> • Toxins </p> <p> • Stress </p> <p> • High blood pressure </p> <p><br></p> <p>Data shows that keto is effective in eliminating seizures by a factor of 50 to 70 percent. But it's important to be on the healthy version of the ketogenic diet. The keto diet for epilepsy also includes more fat than protein. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Ketones are a byproduct of fat. Fat and ketones are the primary fuel source that our bodies should run on—not glucose. It's also the preferred fuel source of the brain. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Top potential benefits of ketones for seizures:</p> <p> • They have anticonvulsant properties </p> <p> • They stabilize the excitability of the neurons </p> <p> • They modulate neurotransmitters </p> <p> • They support the brain, including the hippocampus </p> <p> • They increase the hippocampus's mitochondrial biogenesis</p> <p> • They protect the brain and neurons against oxidative stress</p> <p> • They increase the ATP in the neurons to allow them to function better </p> <p><br></p> <p>In my opinion, one of the best natural alternative options for seizures is to get on the Healthy Keto® diet. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Natural ways to potentially help prevent seizures: </p> <p>1. Get on the Healthy Keto diet </p> <p>2. Start intermittent fasting </p> <p>3. Take ketones</p> <p>4. Consume foods higher in fat with moderate protein</p> <p>5. Consume cod liver oil </p> <p>6. Consume nutritional yeast </p> <p>7. Exercise </p> <p><br></p> <p>DATA: </p> <p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22787591/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22787...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4221309/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.cornucopia.org/DHA/DHA_Update_2_09.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.cornucopia.org/DHA/DHA_Up...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6836058/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...</a></p> <p><br></p>
