6 benefits of ketosis for medical conditions
- Epilepsy. Keto has been proven to be very beneficial and highly successful in treating epilepsy
- Metabolic syndrome. Being in a state of nutritional ketosis helps to improve markers of metabolic disease.
- Alzheimer’s disease. Ketone bodies themselves have been shown to be neuroprotective, which bodes well as a potential treatment option or intervention for improving neurodegenerative diseases.
- Cancer. Keto is part of the larger umbrella of metabolic therapies that show promise.
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS can be reversed if insulin levels are lowered. The ketogenic diet helps with weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity.
