Keet gained popularity among those who want to quickly get rid of overweight. It is based on the almost complete exclusion of carbohydrates and accents on fats and proteins.
But, despite their efficiency in weight loss, new studies question its safety. Scientists warn that such a diet can be associated with the development of a number of dangerous chronic diseases. Eatthis.com writes more about this.
Frontiers in Nutrition has a review prepared by specialists from the USA and Canada. They analyzed 123 previous studies regarding the effect of Keto’s diet on the human body. Although researchers admit that this nutrition method changes the metabolism of fat and includes certain aspects of interval hunger, the results of their work sound. The report says: “In most cases, potential risks of Keto diet can exceed its advantages.”
According to scientists, the typical structure of Keto Racion is the amount of meat, cheese, fat and oil-re-ore and against the background of a deficiency of fiber, vitamins and other nutrients, significantly increases the likelihood of general chronic diseases. One of the co-authors of the work, Dr. Neil Barnard, commented on: “Products that are the basis of keto-diets are those that provoke colon cancer, cardiovascular diseases and Alzheimer disease.”
In addition, researchers also associate Keto -diet with an increased risk of diabetes and a chronic kidney disease. There are also serious warnings for women who plan pregnancy or are already pregnant: such a diet can lead to disorders in the development of the fetal nervous tube, which threatens congenital defects in the brain and spine.
Dr. Barnard added another alarming argument: “A new study shows that the same products that form the basis of Keto’s diet can also increase the risk of serious infectious diseases.”
Thus, although the attractiveness of instant weight loss is for example, the ability to put on your favorite jeans again or see a smaller figure on a scale, is a strong motivator, scientists emphasize that the short -term result should not be installed above for long -term health.
Instead, they recommend focusing on products that have protective properties – vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains. These products saturate the body with antioxidants, minerals and other vital substances that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
