A ketogenic diet is good for Epilepsy as it is contains healthy brain food. The medicines that control seizures may interfere with the body’s ability to use certain nutrients including vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, manganese and folic acid. Vitamin B complex, Vit D and E and calcium, magnesium and potassium are important vitamins and minerals. I recommend AgeLOC futureContinue reading “Nutrients for Epilepsy”

Altered Lipid Metabolism in Brain Injury and Disorders
Rao Muralikrishna Adibhatla1,2,3,4 and J. F. Hatcher1 Author information ► Copyright and License information ► Abstract Deregulated lipid metabolism may be of particular importance for CNS injuries and disorders, as this organ has the highest lipid concentration next to adipose tissue. Atherosclerosis (a risk factor for ischemic stroke) results from accumulation of LDL-derived lipids inContinue reading “Altered Lipid Metabolism in Brain Injury and Disorders”

Direct link between metabolism in brain cells and their ability to signal information, ketogenic diet
Neurons in the cerebellum. Credit Bowie Lab/McGill University Study sheds light on why diet may help control seizures in epilepsy patients. A new study by scientists at McGill University and the University of Zurich shows a direct link between metabolism in brain cells and their ability to signal information. The research may explain why theContinue reading “Direct link between metabolism in brain cells and their ability to signal information, ketogenic diet”
Connection Found Between Memory Mechanisms And Resistance To Epilepsy
Summary: Researchers identify a specific mechanism that can provide resistance to epilepsy but also damages a specific type of memory. Source: University of Haifa. A new study undertaken jointly by researchers from the Sagol Department of Neurobiology at the University of Haifa and European researchers, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex, exposes a new biologicalContinue reading “Connection Found Between Memory Mechanisms And Resistance To Epilepsy”
Dietary nutrients and exercises for the brain
As any other organ, the brain is elaborated from substances present in the diet (sometimes exclusively, for vitamins, minerals, essential amino-acids and essential fatty acids, including omega- 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids). Most micronutrients (vitamins and trace-elements) have been directly evaluated in the setting of cerebral functioning. For instance, to produce energy, the use of glucoseContinue reading “Dietary nutrients and exercises for the brain”
