Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoidance of head injuries and prompt treatment of brain infections are important measures to prevent epilepsy. Some other preventive measures may include managing underlying medical conditions such as stroke, tumors, or traumatic brain injury, avoiding substance abuse, and getting enough sleep. However, there is no guaranteed way to completely prevent epilepsy as it can also have genetic or unknown causes. Avoidance of certain foods and prompt treatment of cardiac problems and nutritional deficiencies may be important for overall health but do not specifically prevent epilepsy.
