What Is Keto Diet?
The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet with several health benefits. The key is to reduce carbohydrate intake and replace it with fat.
So, instead of relying on sugar that comes from carbohydrates (legumes, fruits, grains, vegetables, and fruits), this diet depends on keto bodies (a kind of fuel produced by our liver from stored fat)
Keto Diet Health Benefits
In addition to helping you lose excess weight, the keto diet has several other health benefits. This diet may:
- Reduce seizures in children
- Have benefits for brain disorders like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, autism, sleep disorders, and even Alzheimer’s
- Improve blood sugar control
- Lower the risk of heart-related ailments
