Plant-Based Ketogenic Diet Enhances Chemo-Therapy and Athletic Performance
A plant-based cyclical ketogenic diet consisting of plants, plant proteins, low sugar, and low fat has been shown to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy with fewer side effects. Studies on athletes in Verona, Italy are exploring the diet's potential to enhance performance, improve recovery, and achieve greater success in athletic events. The diet involves consuming 800 calories a day for five days a month, excluding certain groups like underweight individuals, pregnant women, brittle diabetics, and those with heart issues. The diet has shown weight loss benefits, increased energy levels, and improvements in lab results and blood pressure. This diet is particularly beneficial for heavy vegans as it helps in changing their metabolism, providing a scientific foundation for plant-based diets while maximizing their benefits.
