ketogenic research

Ketogenic research explores how a diet high in fats and very low in carbs shifts the body's primary fuel source from glucose to ketones, produced from fat breakdown. This metabolic switch can influence brain function, improve insulin sensitivity, and potentially help manage conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists study how this dietary pattern affects health at cellular and systemic levels, aiming to understand its benefits and risks. While promising, more research is needed to confirm long-term effects and appropriate applications for various health conditions.
