As natural, preventive, and holistic, the Keto approach (high fat, no/low carb, adequate protein, [BMI -10-20%]) to nutrition may treat epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, other metabolic diseases, as well as potentially other neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and possibly even cardiovascular disease. Why?
Fat provides twice as much energy, lasts longer, and is more efficient as the main source of energy. Using ketones from fat for energy rather than primarily glucose from carbohydrates circumvents pathologies related to glucose-based energy systems. Examples include glucose-dependent insulin regulation, glucose-based cancer proliferation, as well as more complex neural dynamics involved in neuronal and synaptic transcription and regulation factors. Furthermore, these metabolic processes relate as well to more holistic factors such as sleep and exposure to sunlight and natural greenery (like trees) or in other words, the impact of circadian rhythms and interaction with Nature for health and wellbeing.
