There are many reasons and causes of epilepsy, so it is not really possible to say what can be done to avoid it. It isn't like an infectious disease that you can get vaccinated against. Only about 1 in every 200 people have some form of epilepsy. Something like a head injury can result in epilepsy, so you could say that trying to avoid getting any sort of a serious head injury in your lifetime is one way or trying to avoid getting epilepsy.
