Mediterranean Ketogenic Diet Benefits

A recent study highlights the positive effects of a Mediterranean ketogenic diet on individuals suffering from chronic migraines. Participants in the study experienced a significant reduction in both the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks, along with notable fat loss and improved body composition. This dietary approach combines low carbohydrate intake with high protein levels and the inclusion of anti-inflammatory foods such as vegetables, nuts, and olive oil. The results suggest that a well-structured ketogenic diet can be beneficial not only for weight management but also for reducing migraine-related pain.
