What is Keto Diet?
The Ketogenic diet mainly relies on low consumption of carbs but is high in fat and puts your body in the metabolic state, which is called Ketosis, which aids in burning fat by using it as a primary fuel in your body. At this stage, your body becomes efficient in burning fat for energy, and it also transforms fats into ketones in your liver which is used to supply energy for the brain.
Health Benefits
Battling Disabilities
Keto diet is not only a weight loss diet, but it can also aid in improving the overall health of your body. In recent years, a Ketogenetic diet has been associated with the benefits of a significant reduction of blood sugar and insulin levels in the body. Moreover, the keto diet helps to burn excess fat, which is closely linked to type 2 diabetes. A recent study published by the National Library of Medicine and Center for Biotechnology Information suggests that “A small study in women with type 2 diabetes also found that following a ketogenic diet for 90 days significantly reduced levels of hemoglobin A1C, which is a measure of long-term blood sugar management” (NIH).

The ketogenic diet can help improve risk factors like body fat, HDL (good) cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar which can directly aid the overall function of the heart (National Library of Medicine).
