Prevention of epilepsy

·        
Prevent traumatic brain injuries: Brain injuries, also called traumatic brain injuries, are a frequent cause of epilepsy. This can be
done by riding safely through the use of safety belts,
child passenger seats, airbags, bicycle helmets, and motorcycle helmets
to reduce motor vehicle and traffic injuries, avoiding falls that can lead to
brain injury and getting help immediately for traumatic brain injuries if they
happen.

·        
Lower the chances of stroke and heart disease: Take steps everyday to lower your chances of stroke and heart disease. These
include eating well, exercising, and not smoking. These health actions may
prevent epilepsy later in life.
·        
Get vaccinated: Protect yourself and your family from diseases. Immunizations (also
known as vaccines or shots) lower your chances of infection that can sometimes
lead to epilepsy.
·        
Wash your hands and prepare food safely: An infection called cysticercosis is
the most common cause of epilepsy world-wide. It is caused by a parasite and it
is prevented through good hygiene and food preparation practices. Health
screening and early treatment for cysticercosis can prevent epilepsy.
·        
Stay healthy during your pregnancy: Some problems during pregnancy and childbirth can
lead to epilepsy. So it is important to diligently follow a
prenatal care plan with your health care provider, like your doctor or nurse, to keep
you and your baby healthy.
