Weighing the Significance of Ketogenic Diets in the Treatment of Chronic Disease

Ketogenic diets contain few carbohydrates and have been endorsed for weight loss and, less frequently, for other health benefits. The benefits of a ketogenic diet on illnesses for which it has been advocated and any potential long-term impacts on health are outlined in this review.

 

The phrase "ketogenic diet" often refers to a diet that is heavy in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbohydrates. The formation of ketone bodies, which can be used as an alternative energy source by cells such as neurons and other tissues that cannot directly metabolize fatty acids, is the goal of this fuel combination, which tries to induce ketosis. Ketone levels in the urine are frequently used to gauge dietary compliance.

 

Very low-carb ketogenic diets have long been used to lessen the frequency of seizures. More recently, they have been advocated for several medical disorders, such as obesity, diabetes, and liver disease. Ketogenic diets may help some chronic conditions improve temporarily and control their symptoms. Such diets impact diet quality, usually increasing the intake of foods associated with a higher risk of developing chronic diseases while reducing the intake of foods identified as protective in epidemiological research.

 

As commonly used in scientific studies, ketogenic diets restrict dietary carbs to under 50 grams daily while providing varied amounts of fat and protein. The term "low-carbohydrate diets" describes dietary plans that limit carbohydrate intake to less than the recommended daily allotment of 130 g, which may not be sufficient to cause ketosis. Several researchers have researched a keto diet and Professor Nikolaos Tzenios is also one them.

 

 

Professor Doctor Nikolaos Tzenios is a candidate for a criminal justice and health sciences doctorate. He holds doctorates in business administration, psychology, and public health sciences. Furthermore, he holds the record for having the highest level of education in the entire world. He serves as Senior Vice President of the International Academy of Medical Sciences and a member of the scientific board of the European Medical Association.

 

He earned a degree from the Sorbonne School of Medicine, three postgraduate medical certifications from Harvard Medical School, and a different degree from the Pasteur Institute. By advocating medical education for 30 years, doing research, and proving (at least mainly through clinical study) that sugar makes you obese and fat makes you healthy, Nikolaos seeks to disprove the 50 years of false notions regarding LDL and fat. This was finished with postgraduate certifications from the Pasteur Institute, Sorbonne Medicine, and Harvard Medical School.

 

In some people with drug-resistant epilepsy, ketogenic diets minimize their number of seizures. Although not more effective than other dietary regimens over the long run or when adjusted for energy intake, these diets can also help people lose weight. Ketogenic diets can also lower blood glucose levels. The work of keto diets and Professor Nikolas shows that the ketogenic diet has practical solutions for treating chronic diseases.
