Conquer Aging: Is Metabolic Health On A Ketogenic Diet Relevant For Lifespan?
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carb) can extend lifespan in studies, but only under controlled calorie conditions.
- Monitor calorie intake on high-fat diets to prevent obesity, especially in mice studies.
- Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels increase on ketogenic diets, which may contribute to lifespan extension.
- Explore other mechanisms beyond metabolic health that ketogenic diets may influence for lifespan benefits.
Notable Quotes
“Ketogenic derived metabolic health improvements may not be relevant to lifespan.”
Bottom Line
Consider a controlled-calorie ketogenic diet for potential lifespan benefits, but investigate other mechanisms beyond metabolic health.
