Hormones and Epilepsy in Women and Men…
15 Comments
There’s a dynamic relationship between hormones, brain function, and seizures.
Whether you’re a woman or a man, sex hormones can influence the excitability of nerve cells in the brain and thus influence seizure control.
Hormones generally don’t cause seizures but can influence if or when they happen.

Head Injuries and Seizures
21 Comments
How many of you have had a car accident…an abrupt fall…a physical assault? If you are one of those people and you have suffered a head injury, the probability of seizure activity increases dramatically…
Seizures may develop immediately after an injury to the brain or may develop in delayed fashion, showing up months or years after the initial trauma.
Generally speaking, the risk of post traumatic seizures is related to the severity of the injury — the greater the injury, the higher the risk of developing seizures. Even mild to moderate injuries can result in seizures.

Foods that fight stress

I know from personal experience as a Health & Wellness writer that certain nutrients can help your neuro functions.
But, like anything else, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
What food combinations that work for one might definitely not work for another.
And it certainly doesn’t take the place of meds.
However, I do believe that although living a healthy lifestyle won’t cure you…it can certainly help you.
So, here’s some information for sensible eating and supplementing your diet.
