Is Ketosis Good for Your Heart?

Last Updated on December 17, 2020 by Smart Life Picks

Is ketosis good for your heart? The short answer is yes. But before we get into the technical details, a bit of background information on ketosis is needed. For some time I had been hearing of the keto diet being referred to by colleagues and friends so after much persuasion and even calling it another fad diet I decided to research it and it’s benefits and was amazingly surprised.

We’re talking about a ketogenic diet, which simply means a low carbohydrate, high fat, or protein dietary plan. Ketones are produced as a byproduct of fat burning and can be used by the brain as a fuel source, rather than sugar. Ketosis is actually a favorable metabolic state for the human body. That said, if you’re experiencing chest pain or other heart-related issues, you may be experiencing ketosis.

The fact that ketosis affects the heart is simply due to its impact on someone’s mental state. In the beginning stages of mitosis, the heart muscles begin to burn fat instead of glucose as their main source of energy. This can lead to a drop in blood pressure, which is good for the heart.

So, are there some risks associated with keto? Well, the problem is that for someone with heart disease or diabetes, elevating ketones to dangerously high levels can cause health problems.

There are some more serious issues that can arise with high levels of ketones in the bloodstream. These can include high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), high cholesterol, seizures, kidney failure, and even death.

In order to avoid these risks, it’s important to understand how ketosis works, how much fat is needed for mitosis to occur, and what an appropriate ketone level should be. This is important because if you experience symptoms from high ketones, it can actually help in the treatment process.

One thing to remember is that ketosis can be caused by eating a high carbohydrate diet, particularly in combination with other heart conditions. Also, if someone has a seizure disorder, even if they aren’t on a keto diet, they may not be able to metabolize ketones properly, so they will experience more problems.

People who are suffering from high blood glucose levels or high blood pressure should not attempt to be on a keto diet. For example, if you have high blood pressure, your doctor will not allow you to participate in a keto diet. It is important to stay on medication as much as possible.

If you feel you’re having side effects such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite, it’s important to seek out a health practitioner. You should also stay away from any food items that have a high carbohydrate content, especially if you’re experiencing nausea.

Just remember that ketosis is a healthy state, and you don’t need to sacrifice everything in order to be successful. Remember to talk to your health professional about things that may need to be modified, and make sure that you’re following the rules as well as eating the right foods.

Avoiding these things is important, but that doesn’t mean you can have the privilege of eating any high carbohydrate foods. As long as you stay on your diet, and continue to take care of yourself with high-quality supplements, you can enjoy all the benefits of a keto diet and still maintain a healthy heart!
