Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurring seizures. Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy, but not everyone who experiences a seizure has epilepsy. An epileptic seizure is caused by a temporary malfunctioning of the brain caused by uncontrolled electrical activity from nerve cells. The underlying cause of epilepsy is unknown; however, nutrition is considered an essential in managing the condition. The ketogenic diet is one of the most researched methods for reducing the severity and frequency of seizures.
