A Mediterranean ketogenic diet may reduce the risk of dementia.

A recent study published in the international journal Ebio Medicine (Biomedical) found that scientists from institutions such as Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center found that specific fungi in the gut were directly related to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in individuals, and that eating an improved Mediterranean diet could improve the risk of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with mild cognitive impairment in a beneficial way.
ketogenic diet is a very low-carbon water, high fat, moderate amount of protein diet, rapidly changing the body's sugar supply for fat energy, into an efficient fat-burning state. The main food sources of the ketogenic diet are meat, fish, eggs and shellfish, and promote the intake of high-quality protein and healthy fats. You will also be asked to consume the right amount of vegetables, nuts, and drink enough water.
And the traditional Mediterranean diet advocates whole wheat bread, coarse grains and other staple foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, more than twice a week to ensure fish, seafood, can eat a moderate amount of white meat, nuts, cooking oil to choose olive oil, but limit the intake of red meat, limit high-fat dairy products, and instead eat skimmed milk, fat-free yogurt, low-fat cheese and so on.
researcher Haryom Yadav said the study revealed special fungi that symbiotically co-live with gut bacterios in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by eating a Mediterranean ketogenic diet.
researchers conducted a single-center, randomized double-blind cross-study that involved participants in a six-week modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet intervention or implementation of the American Heart Association's dietary strategy.
Prior to the dietary strategy intervention, the researchers studied 17 older people who identified specific groups in the gut microbiome by sequencing the fungus rRNAITS1 gene, including 11 individuals diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and 6 individuals with health conditions, to determine the association between Alzheimer's biomarkers and intestinal bacteribus in the body's cerebrospinal fluid."Although we don't fully understand how fungi in the body's gut induce Alzheimer's disease, the study is the first to reveal the key role that gut fungi play in individual mental health, and hopefully later researchers will conduct more in-depth research to further understand the relationship between these fungi and the risk of Alzheimer's disease," the
researchers said.
study also suggests that eating habits such as eating a ketogenic diet may also help suppress the progression of Alzheimer's disease in the brain by lowering levels of harmful fungi in the gut.
