The Long Life Diet - Leon Chaitow

The ketogenic diet involves the intake of a low amount of carbohydrates, a high dose of fat and a moderate intake of protein. This type of diet induces a natural state of healthy metabolism in the body, known as nutritional ketosis.

In ketosis, the body uses fat instead of glucose as its primary source of energy: some of this fat is transformed into an alternative type of high-powered fuel for the body, called ketane. Ketones increase cellular energy and efficiency and activate special enzymes that regulate cell survival, repair and growth. When a person is in a state of nutritional ketosis, blood ketone levels rise, promoting healing in every area. As a result, high blood pressure tends to drop, cholesterol levels improve, inflammation is reduced, blood sugar levels normalize and there is a general improvement in health conditions.

Low-fat diets have been widely touted in recent decades as the answer to obesity and chronic disease, but today we are fatter and sicker than ever. Clearly the low-fat approach to eating is not working: the body needs fat to be healthy and works best using it as fuel.

In this book "The Long Life Diet" by Bruce Fife, you will discover how several people are successfully using the ketogenic diet to prevent and treat chronic and degenerative diseases. Ketane therapy is based on decades of medical and clinical research that has demonstrated the safety of this method and its effectiveness in treating various diseases.

Simple style and rigorous scientific research: start your ketogenic diet today.
