The article provides basic information on nutritional principles in patients with epilepsy. Epilepsy is the oldest known neurological disease. There are approximately 50 million individuals worldwide with epilepsy, more than 70,000 patients in the Czech Republic. This is a chronic neurological disease characterized by repeated seizures of various clinical images and abnormal brain cerebral neurons. Epilepsy is divided into symptomatic and idiopathic. The main goal of treatment is to significantly improve the patient‘s quality of life. This is best achieved by removing seizures or at least limiting their frequency and intensity where elimination of seizures is not possible. The core of the paper points to regime measures and the importance of the regulation of living is important. Observance of regular sleep and wakefulness, single-phase sleep with regular downtime and getting up. A varied diet is the basis of nutrition. Patient nutrition interferes practically with all the functions of the organism and basically affects health. The patient should eat a variety of foods in a reasonable amount. Patients should also try to reduce salt consumption. You should also watch the salt hidden in the food. Try to reduce the consumption of sugar. It is also important to drink fluids. At least 2 liters a day is recommended. Water plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the internal environment in the body. It is advisable to drink various kinds of drinks, suitable for natural water, fruit teas, unsweetened juices. All types of alcoholic beverages are forbidden for patients with epilepsy. Alcohol reduces the effects of antiepileptic drugs. Opportunities for pharmacists and epizootics are known as ketogenic diets that have been successfully applied in the world for a long time. Depending on the degree of ketosis and the effect on spasticity, the nutrient relation is shifted in favor of proteins and carbohydrates. It is a special diet choice that contains a high fat content with an adequate amount of protein but a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Although overall prognosis is generally favorable for standard epilepsy (most patients experience complete seizures over time), roughly one-third of patients fail to achieve a non-invasive condition even with the right treatment. Adherence to proper nutrition in patients with epilepsy and adherence to a healthy lifestyle is one of the treatment priorities.
