Scientists conducted a study and concluded that the best ketones are the source of fuel for the brain. In this case, the reduction process its performance is significantly inhibited.
It is believed that the first signs of aging of the human brain more often manifest themselves at the age of 47, which is much earlier than previously thought. When 60 years comes, the rate of degradation cognitive ability becomes highest. Publication about this a study by scientists from Stony Brook (USA) is presented in the journal PNAS
Researchers believe that a weakening of the brain is associated with loss of ability to metabolize glucose effectively in aging people, because of which neurons are constantly “malnourished” and disruption of the brain networks.
The authors of the study state that the good news is that we are now able to prevent or even reverse degradation processes with a specific diet.
As part of the study, an experiment was conducted in which 1000 people aged 18 to 88 years participated. Was investigated the interaction between certain parts of the brain depending on age and food consumed.
It turned out that a low-carb diet (fish with a leaf of salad, meat, but without potatoes and rice) increases the efficiency of interaction parts of the brain and leads to an increase in overall cognitive activity.
Moreover, even in people under the age of fifty, a prescribed ketone diet increased overall brain activity and stabilized his works. This is probably due to the fact that ketones give energy significantly more than, for example, glucose.
Previously, scientists from Britain found that if stimulated vagus nerve through the ear, then there is a “restructuring” of the autonomic nervous system in the elderly, which helps slow down the process aging.
