Parents of a girl suffering up to 60 fits a day have told how the nightmare ended - thanks to avocados. Five-year-old Leafy Liu was born with a brain disorder which led to the terrifying number of seizures but, on her new diet , she now only suffers four a year.

一对父母告诉我们,他们的女儿每天发病60次,但现在他们的噩梦结束了--多亏了牛油果。5岁的刘丽菲(Leafy Liu)患有先天性大脑紊乱,发病次数惊人。吃了新食物后,她现在每年只会癫痫4次。
Mum Claire, 39, a nutritional advisor, said: "Until six months, Leafy was an ordinary baby. But then she had her first seizure, and everything changed. It lasted about 25 minutes which was really scary."
母亲克莱尔39岁,是一位营养顾问,她说:"6个月大的时候,丽菲还是个正常的小宝宝。但后来癫痫第一次发作,一切都变了。癫痫持续了25分钟左右,真的很可怕。"
After medication failed, Claire and husband Justin, 45, looked into the ketogenic diet, linked to helping epilepsy and recommended by doctors in certain cases. While the diet advocates eating foods like meat, eggs and spinach, Leafy was particularly keen on avocados.
药物治疗失败后,克莱尔和她的丈夫贾斯汀(45岁)开始研究生酮饮食,这种饮食或能帮助治疗癫痫,在某些情况下,医生也会建议生酮饮食。虽然生酮饮食提倡吃肉、鸡蛋和菠菜这类食物,但丽菲却尤其喜欢牛油果。
Experts believe the way the body burns up carbs can trigger fits, so switching to a high fat, low-carb diet can reduce that risk. But doctors don't know why. As well as avocado, meat, eggs, spinach, kale, broccoli and cauliflower are recommended - with other foods. But Leafy has taken to avocados and Claire and Justin, of Loughborough, Leics, have spent ?1,200 on 3,000 of them.
专家认为,身体燃烧碳水化合物的方式会导致癫痫,所以选择高脂、低碳的饮食可以降低风险。但医生也不清楚个中缘由。建议食用牛油果、肉、鸡蛋、菠菜、羽衣甘蓝、西兰花、花椰菜和其它食物。但丽菲选择了牛油果,来自累斯特郡的克莱尔和贾斯汀·拉夫伯勒已经花费了1200英镑,买了3000个牛油果。

E-commerce manager Justin said: "Where once she would have 60 minor seizures a day, it dropped dramatically. Now she has four a year, it's a miracle."

电子商务经理贾斯汀说:"以前她每天最少发病60次,但现在发作频率大幅下降。现在每年发作4次,真是奇迹啊。"
Parents Claire and Justin estimate they have spent ?1,200 on avocados so far. Now Leafy has just four seizures a year by eating her favourite food.
克莱尔和贾斯汀夫妇估算,到目前为止,他们已购买了1200英镑的牛油果。现在,吃了最喜欢的食物之后,丽菲每年只发病4次。
"Along with salmon, avocado is probably her favourite thing to eat." Great Ormond Street Hospital says the ketogenic diet has been shown to improve seizure control in patients with drug resistant epilepsy.
"她最喜欢三文鱼配牛油果,"大奥蒙德街医院表示,生酮饮食已被证明能提高抗药性癫痫患者对癫痫的控制。
And it advises close supervision. Parents considering the diet must consult a GP. Avocados, from warm and tropical areas, originated in Mexico and is seen as a superfood.
医院还建议密切观察。考虑这种饮食的父母还应该咨询全科医生。牛油果来自温带和热带地区,源于墨西哥,被人们视作超级食物。
