When health is the only wealth
In this lockdown, are you planning to adopt a ketogenic diet? While you might have tried several means to cater to a sustainable lifestyle, in the long run, this concept limits the intake of carbohydrates by opting for a high-fat, adequate-protein diet. But what makes it worth relevant on the go? Well, the idea subjects the body to burn fats rather than carbs. Thus, fatty acids act as the main source of fuel in metabolism, futher increasing the energy reserves. Besides, the resulting anticonvulsants help to conquer epileptic seizures in children.
Now, those looking out for a vegan diet, it comes with several benefits. If someone follows the diet properly, lower body mass index can be attained in a routine manner which also reduces blood sugar levels, higher insulin sensitivity, lowering the risk of developing type 2 diabetes when compared to non-vegans. Observational studies have meanwhile reported that vegans pose a 75% lower risk of developing high blood pressure as well as 42% less risk of dying from heart ailments. But, that’s not the end.
Vegans may benefit from a 15% lower risk of developing or dying from diseases like cancer! Apart from that, vegan diets seek to reduce symptoms of arthritis including pain, joint swelling, and morning stiffness while diabetic patients substituting meat with plant protein lessen the threat of poor kidney function.
Lastly, to speak about intermittent fasting, it refers to different meal timing schedules which cycle between voluntary fasting and non-fasting over a particular span. It can be implemented in three ways: alternate-day fasting, periodic fasting, and daily time-restricted feeding. According to The American Heart Association (AHA), intermittent fasting might result in weight loss, lower insulin resistance, while reducing the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. But whether it can be considered as sustainable in the long-term remains unknown. On the other hand, the procedure might fight against obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and inflammation.
