Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body uses ketones for energy instead of glucose. It is often achieved through a ketogenic diet, which is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. When the body is in ketosis, it produces ketones from fat in the liver. Ketones are then used for energy by the brain, heart, and other organs.
Ketosis has been shown to have several benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and reduced inflammation. It may also be beneficial for people with epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological conditions.
