Studies have now shown that the Keto diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions:

• Heart disease: The ketogenic diet can help improve risk factors like body fat, HDL (good) cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar.
• Cancer: The diet is currently being explored as an additional treatment for cancer because it may help slow tumor growth.
• Alzheimer’s disease: The keto diet may help reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and slow its progression.
• Epilepsy: Research has shown that the ketogenic diet can cause significant reductions in seizures in epileptic children.
• Parkinson’s disease: Although more research is needed, one study found that the diet helped improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome: The ketogenic diet can help reduce insulin levels, which may play a key role in polycystic ovary syndrome.
