Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
You’ve been sold a lie by Big Food companies.
How many times have you grabbed a soda because you needed a quick boost of energy?
Or maybe instead you reached for a donut or snack cake as a pick-me-up.
Food companies want you to think that sugar is equal to energy.
Sure, sugar can give you a short burst of energy, but it can also make you overweight and diabetic… and can even lead to heart failure.
The truth is there’s an easy diet trick that can protect your heart, support your memory, AND keep you trim.
In fact, it’s so powerful, it can TRIPLE BOOST your heart.
Here’s everything you need to know.
The answer is ketones.
You’ve probably heard of the keto diet that’s become all the rage in recent years. Well now it turns out it could be the best thing for your heart.
Ketones are breakdown products of fat that can be just as powerful as sugar for energy.
You see, your liver produces these molecules during times of low food intake, prolonged intense exercise, and when you are on a no-sugar/low-carb diet.
And now researchers have discovered they can save your heart in three key ways.
First, ketones give your heart energy. Because they require less oxygen, your heart gets a boost of energy without putting out as much effort.
Secondly, increasing your ketones means you’re strengthening your overworked blood vessels, fighting back against oxidative stress, lowering inflammation, AND slowing disease damage—how’s that for a healthy multitasker!
Finally, ketones help your heart because they can also help you lose weight and lower your systolic blood pressure (the top number).
Now the question is, how do you increase your ketones?
The best way is to stop eating all sugars and foods that act like sugar… for example simple carbs like white and refined flour products. Essentially, you’re eating a low-carb diet.
This is hard for most people, so you can supplement by eating medium-chain triglycerides like coconut oil, or other ketone supplements.
Fasting also works. You can simply contract your eating time by eating only during eight hours a day, helping your body activate ketosis.
P.S. There’s another way the keto diet can help you… and it’s downright shocking! Read more about it right here.
