Wellness Wednesday! The KETO Diet is all I’m hearing about lately but I only half understand it. My college roommate is even on it. Sounds a little to me like the Atkins diet gone healthier? (only so many days you can justify eating a pound of bacon). Lori Alberti just returned from something called KETO-KADEMY. (Assume that’s an Academy where you learn about Ketosis) I invited her to explain. Lori is a rep for a company that’s apparently rocking the KETO landscape called Pruvit . They have a couple hundred thousand followers here on FB and their website states : “Prüvit’s KETO//OS® has started a modern health revolution with over 7 million servings delivered in its first 12 months.” Well I haven’t sold 7 million of anything so I am obviously curious. You? Tune in 10:20am eastern Wednesday on my show to learn more.

The Power of Ketones – Access Health
Wellness Wednesday! What “IF”? IF = Intermittent Fasting. According to CNN Health: Fasting may help you live longer. ” Experts say, a critical aspect of fasting — which is different from simply restricting calories — is that the body undergoes a metabolic switch from using glucose to using ketones as fuel, a result of the depletion of liver energy stores and the mobilization of fat. (This switch also occurs during extended periods of exercise.) “If ketones are not elevated, you don’t see the beneficial effects.” “What’s more, these metabolic changes that occur during repeated “cycling” from fasting to eating may help to optimize brain function and bolster its resistance to stress and disease, both of which have positive implications for aging.
According to Longo, the presence of ketones in the blood signifies that on the cellular level, the body is “regenerating” itself, which protects against aging and disease.”
NOTE: The research on fasting has focused mostly on overweight individuals or those with risk factors for disease. If you are aging at a healthy body weight and are free of disease, and you eat a healthy diet and regularly exercise, periodic fasting may not necessarily offer an added benefit in terms of lengthening your life.
Fasting is also not appropriate for pregnant women and those with medical conditions such as diabetes or eating disorders.
