Living a Ketogenic Lifestyle
You’ve probably heard of a keto-friendly diet, but might wonder “what exactly is the keto diet?” Keto diet is short for Ketogenic diet, which means taking in a low amount of carbs and a high amount of fats. This kind of diet has many benefits and can help you lose weight, improve your overall health, and even prevent diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and epilepsy.
The keto diet reduces carbohydrate intake and replaces it with fat to put your body in a metabolic state called ketosis. This allows your body to burn fat for energy and turn fat into ketones in the liver, which results in an increased energy supply to the brain. The keto diet can cause reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels which, under the right circumstances, can provide health benefits.
