Clinical Applications of Ketogenic Diets
The ketogenic diet, high in fats and low in carbohydrates, has clinical applications in several areas. Primarily, it effectively treats epilepsy, particularly in children with drug-resistant forms. Emerging evidence suggests benefits in managing type 2 diabetes by improving glycemic control and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, it shows promise in weight loss and obesity treatment by promoting fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass. Preliminary studies also indicate potential in neurological conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as certain cancers, by altering metabolic pathways and reducing inflammation.
