Re: [epilepsy] EXERCISE FOLLOWING GRAND MAL SEIZURE

 

Excercise is good for you if you don't overdue it, and another thing you need to be cautious of is lifting heavy metal weights.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Greek Chicken with Herbed Yogurt Sauce - 6g Carbs, 1g Fiber

 

Greek Chicken with Herbed Yogurt Sauce - 6g Carbs, 1g Fiber

From: Mediterranean Diet Recipes in 5 Steps or Less  by Susan Levy with Bonus

Heart healthy and full flavored…it's Greek to you! Marinated for moistness, chicken breasts say "opaa" when sauced with tangy low-fat yogurt spiked with fresh herbs and the Vitamin C and Limonene of lemon juice and lemon peel.
Serves: 4

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 Tbsp finely grated lemon peel
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp oregano and parsley, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

1. Combine the yogurt, lemon peel and juice, oregano, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.

2. Put the chicken into a dish and spread about ¼ cup of the yogurt sauce over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate the remaining yogurt sauce.

3. Place the chicken on a rack in a baking pan and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 30 minutes.

4. Turn the oven on to broil and continue cooking about 5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. (Adjust the rack higher if necessary)

5. Spoon the remaining yogurt sauce over the chicken and serve with veggie confetti salad.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Tomato Soup with Mascarpone Cheese and Basil

 

Tomato Soup with Mascarpone Cheese and Basil

12 plum tomato, quartered
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
5 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
4 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 1/2 tsp raw sugar
1 Tbsp all natural tomato paste
7 Tbsp Mascarpone Cheese
1/4 cup Basil, Fresh, chopped

Prepare tomatoes. Take quartered plum tomatoes and run your thumb along
the flesh to remove the seeds. Set the excess seeds and juice from
tomatoes aside in a small bowl. Rough chop the tomatoes and season with
a little salt and pepper and let them marinate. I like to strain the
excess seeds and juice in a strainer to remove the seeds. I then add the
juice only to the tomatoes and discard the seeds.

Heat a large pot over medium/high heat. Once hot, add olive oil. Once
oil is hot, add onions and saute for about 5 minutes. Next add fresh
thyme and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes or so. Season with a
little more salt and pepper (seasoning in layers allows for the best
best flavor).

Add tomatoes (and juice) to the pot and lower heat to medium. Cook,
stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.

Add enough chicken stock to cover the tomatoes (I used about 3 1/4 cups
but it all depends on how ripe and juicy your tomatoes are). Reduce heat
to low/medium. Let the soup hang out for approximately 30 minutes to let
flavors blend. It's fine if the soup is at a very gentle simmer.

Puree the soup either in batches in a blender or by hand with an
immersion hand blender. Add soup back to pot and add sugar and tomato
paste. Stir well (breaking up tomato paste) and taste. Add more salt and
pepper until the flavors come out.

Serve with a tablespoon of Mascarpone cheese and chopped fresh basil.

Makes: 7 - 1 cup servings

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Power Greens Breakfast Skillet - 21g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 4g Sugar

 

Power Greens Breakfast Skillet - 21g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 4g Sugar

From: blog.myfitnesspal.com

1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
1 Tbsp butter (or olive oil)
4 cups assorted greens like kale, spinach, baby swiss chard (chopped if not baby greens)
3 eggs
3 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of salt & fresh cracked pepper

In a medium size cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium to medium-low heat. Add onion, stir to coat. Allow at least 30 minutes for the onions to caramelize. Stir every so often so the onions don't burn. They will be done when they have a deep brown color.

When onions are done, set the oven broiler to Low and move the rack to the middle if it's not there already. Add greens to the skillet and continue to cook on the stove until wilted. The amount of time will vary depending on the type of greens you use. Form 3 wells for the eggs. Crack one egg into each well and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites start to set. Sprinkle with cheese before transferring to oven and broil eggs until they are cooked to your liking.

Note: Caramelize extra onions to make another skillet later in the week. Use 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil per onion. Leftover onions should keep in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Vegetarian Black Bean Soup

 

Vegetarian Black Bean Soup

10 oz dry black beans (1 1/2 cups), rinsed and drained
8 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 fresh jalapeno chile pepper, seeded and chopped*
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups no salt added vegetable broth
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or cilantro sprigs
Lime slices or wedges
Light sour cream (optional)

In a large pot combine beans and the 8 cups water. Bring to boiling;
reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover
and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans.

In a 4 quart slow cooker combine drained beans, onion, jalapeno, garlic,
broth, cumin, chili powder, and salt.

Cover and cook on low heat setting for 9 to 10 hours or on high-heat
setting for 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Use a potato masher to coarsely mash the
beans. Top each serving with cilantro and serve with lime slices or
wedges for squeezing. If desired, top each serving with sour cream.

Makes: 6 - 1 1/3 cup servings

* Tip: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your
skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When
working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare
hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and
warm water.

[epilepsy] ELECTROLYTE REDUCED WATER ?

 

Hi Pat, 
The reading on the subject is very involved. 
Can you summarize it all in layman's terms ?
ie.  your findings and how exactly they have helped your daughter ?

What exactly is Electrolyte reduced water ?

P.S. My son also autistic and epileptic was once on Depakote for 2 years.  He gained 40 pounds on that and still was not controlled.  The Depakote was removed and he changed to Keppra. 
Keppra kept him seizure free for 10 years and then that came to an end.

We just got my child off Depakote, it made her seize more when recently increased due to growth related weight gain. Interesting to know Electrolyte reduced water high in antioxidants has helped her more than any meds have. Depakote is one of a few key Epi meds mentioned here that increase Oxidative stress and reduce the body's natural antioxidant immune system which can increase seizure activity. See section 4.4 specifically, if you take your time there is a lot of very good info here. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3606551/  How might the water help this? That's what I thought & laughed at.. www.gofundme.com/fightseizuresnow  explains it somewhat. Get back to me for more info.

That is no question the truth, and as well doing blood work to make sure your dosage of medicine is to high or low.  One problem though I've had is my Depakote ER because with taking that, and blood tests I have a low I'm
playlet count.  Although with myself I'm 6'0, and medium build, and I take 13 pills a day between 5 drugs.
