  Poor eating habits can have a negative impact on seizure control as well as general health. Here are a few unhealthy eating practices to consider: Missing meals or consuming food inconsistently Excessive consumption of stimulants including tea and coffee, sugar, and salt. Excessive consumption of foods with artificial chemicals, colours, and preservatives. The ketogenic diet does lessen or prevent seizures in many children whose seizures could not be controlled by drugs, according to several studies. These diets all share the common practise of banning sugar and all sweets. Nutritionists who provide advice to persons with epilepsy have shown that even small but enduring dietary modifications can enhance seizure control.
