How to Use Ketones for Longevity
In this edition of my newsletter, we highlight an article from Ben Greenfield’s website: Ben Greenfield Fitness.
If you are not familiar with Ben’s website, it is definitely worth checking out: it is one of our favourite podcast sources.
This article highlights even more dramatic evidence regarding the profound health benefits of ketones, the ketogenic state and the Ketogenic diet.
Included is reference to recent published research from Reggie Veech, PhD who is one of the top ketosis researchers which suggests that being in a ketogenic state may influence longevity (in addition to quality of life).
In my opinion and based upon my clinical experience nothing works better to bring a patient’s metabolism back into balance from what I would refer to as “Diabesity Spectrum Metabolic Dysregulation”.
Following is Ben’s article.
From the article:
But I recently learned something about ketones that I never before fully realized, something that inspired me to begin knocking back a daily dose of beta-hydroxy-butyrate (BHB) ketone salts prior to my afternoon/early evening workouts -workouts that I’d normally, up until the recent past, enter into in a completely fasted state having not eaten lunch for the previous 4-6 hours.
The reason is because ketone bodies have now been proven to have some pretty potent anti-aging, longevity enhancing properties.
