Keto After 50

Then keep reading...

The Ketogenic diet, commonly known as the keto diet, is a dietary protocol that expects you to focus on increasing your fat intake and eliminating or reducing the carb intake. This will push your body to a certain metabolic state known as ketosis. The moment your body enters into the ketosis state, it converts the stored fat to fuel and burns it to provide energy to your cells.

A Ketogenic diet provides your body with premium fuel, which is fat, and it makes you feel fitter, stronger, and younger.

You can achieve all this by following a diet that will burn away excess fat and take your body and health to a whole new level. So why is the ketogenic diet the most preferred type of diet for people after 50? A ketogenic diet is considered as a miracle diet because it will turn around your health and allow your cells to rejuvenate quickly. The body has different metabolic pathways that are essential in the production of energy. However, some are used more than others because of cellular preference. The main source of energy in the body is usually glucose, and this is the simplest form of sugar.

In 1921, a scientist named Rollin Woodyatt discovered that the liver made ketone bodies during starvation or when the patient was following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet.

Research into the keto diet stalled until the 1960s, when scientists discovered that a certain class of fats called medium chain triglycerides or MCTs were readily transported to the liver and made into ketone bodies, faster than normal fats (coconut oil is an example). It was also found that the body could go into a state of ketosis eating more protein when large amounts of MCTs were consumed.

In the early 1970s, a cardiologist named Robert Atkins proposed his own version of a ketogenic diet called the Atkins diet, which has been immensely popular. The Atkins diet has more relaxed standards that keto, allowing adherents to follow very strict carbohydrate consumption for the first two weeks during an "induction phase." After this, the number of carbohydrates consumed can be slightly increased.

The Ketogenic diet is a remedy for a number of diseases, and that in itself qualifies an individual with the ailments in question to adapt to the diet. However, the diet could also be used by professionals in order to enhance their performances or for other reasons.
