A recent study in Endocrines explores the ketogenic diet (KD) as a game-changer for obesity and related conditions like type 2 diabetes and PCOS. 🥑🥓
✨ What makes KD special?
Mimics fasting by relying on ketone bodies (like β-hydroxybutyrate) instead of glucose for energy.
Reduces inflammation and improves metabolism.
May even influence gene expression through epigenetic changes!
🔬 The results:
💡 Effective weight loss & glycemic control.
🛡️ Improved insulin sensitivity in PCOS.
❗ BUT adherence and long-term safety need more research.
This study highlights KD's potential beyond weight loss—impacting metabolic health and even hormonal balance. Perfect for those seeking science-backed insights into health! 💪
