Ketogenic Diet Protects Against Alzheimer’s Disease by Keeping Your Brain Healthy and Youthful

Story at a glance>>>
Recent animal research shows a ketogenic diet improves neurovascular function, in part by improving your gut microbiome

Compared to animals given regular chow, rodents fed a ketogenic diet for 16 weeks were found to have significant increases in cerebral blood flow and improved clearance of amyloid-beta and reduced mTOR activation

Rodents fed a ketogenic diet also had greater abundance of beneficial gut bacteria and reduced amounts of proinflammatory microbes, increased ketone levels, reduced blood glucose and lower body weight, all of which improve neurological function and lower risk for Alzheimer’s

Insulin resistance is strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease, the most severe form of dementia. Alzheimer’s is sometimes referred to as Type 3 diabetes

A ketogenic diet is high in healthy fats and low in net carbohydrates, which allows your body to burn fat as its primary fuel rather than sugar, which helps optimize mitochondrial function and biological regeneration
