"Keto Diet Slows Alzheimer's Memory Decline"

A study from the University of California, Davis, reveals that a ketogenic diet delays the early stages of Alzheimer’s-related memory loss in mice, with the molecule beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) playing a key role in this protective effect. The diet was found to be more beneficial for female mice, indicating potential implications for women at higher risk for Alzheimer’s. While the diet doesn't eliminate Alzheimer’s, it shows promise in delaying its early stages, opening new avenues for research into healthy aging and Alzheimer’s prevention.
