Ketogenic Diet
Jan 23, 2021
In recent years, the keto diet's role in medicine has been expanded and program is also sometimes used to treat other conditions including headache, neurotrauma, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cancer, stroke, mitochondrial disorders, brain trauma, psychiatric disorders, autism, and migraines.
Researchers are conducting studies to learn why the diet has a positive effect on some of these conditions. But many published reports suggest the ketogenic diet helps to normalize atypical metabolisms which may cause the disorders.
The diet has also become popular in some athletic and weight loss communities. People learned that medical patients who are put on the diet often lose weight—which led to the diet's popularity as a quick method to slim down.
