A Keto diet balances fat, protein and carbs and may not only help people live longer, but healthier lives. The mice used a in study on the diet didn’t just live past their average, but were stronger physically. The mice also had fewer tumors and less swelling due to age. They were more coordinated and remembered better. It is believed this is because the diet helps the body produce more BHB, a ketone that has the aforementioned effects.
Key Takeaways:
- Consuming a ketogenic diet — which is high fat, low protein, and low carbohydrates — may not only help in weight loss, but also increase longevity and improve physical strength, says a recent study.
- The study, conducted on mice models, showed a 13 per cent increase in median life span for the mice on a high fat versus high carbohydrate diet.
- Eating a ketogenic diet ramps up the production of the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate acid (BHB), which helps improve memory and increases lifespan.
