Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet For Fibromyalgia
Benefits of the Keto diet: Aids in weight loss and gives higher levels of energy
Aids in losing weight
The primary benefit of a ketogenic diet is that it helps in losing weight. Overweight people are more prone to experiencing body pain due to a huge amount of adipose or fat tissues. They also have lesser energy due to the faster usage of energy in a short amount of time.
Trying to lose weight like exercising while dealing with the symptoms of fibromyalgia at the same time would cause too much difficulty. A healthy diet is a better alternative to losing weight and in pumping the body with nutrients it needs.
Higher energy level throughout the day
Ketogenic diet lessens the glucose intake and production in the body. While it is true that glucose can be a source of energy, it is only for short-term usage. Once glucose is used up, energy levels drop drastically, causing the person to feel more fatigued. The focus of a ketogenic diet is to use existing body fats as fuel by metabolizing it. When body fats are used as a source of energy, the spikes and dips resulting from carbohydrate intake can be prevented because of a more stable energy source.
