It’s official:the ketogenic diethas gone mainstream.
Here’s what I recommend:
1.
When bad bacteria start to outweigh the good, it can take a serious toll on your health.
Fat-soluble vitamins are super important for our health and are widely deficient in the modern Western diet.
We have all heard about vitamin D deficiencies, but vitamin A doesn’t get talked about very much.
This vitamin is essential for a healthy immune system with deficiency in vitamin Alinked3to autoimmune conditions.
Research believes this has to do with our dendritic cellsthe alarm cells of our immune system.
Running labs is the best way to determine your baseline of this vitamin in your body.
Vitamin K2
Another less known fat-soluble vitamin deficiency is vitamin K2.
Regardless of diet, this vitamin is essential for calming inflammation.
MCTs can be found in either natural or synthetic forms.
Since MCTs are easily absorbed, they work to quickly boost energy and increase ketones in the body.
MCT oil can easily be added to your daily smoothie, tea, or coffee.
Toseriously target inflammation, up to 10 grams7per day is ideal.
Most doctors recommendmagnesium gylcinate for optimal benefits.
Another way to optimize electrolytes is something called sole water.
This electrolyte-infused water supports the adrenal hormone aldosterone, which is partially responsible for electrolyte and fluid balance.
It stabilizes the electrolytes like magnesium, sodium chloride, and potassium and is easy to make.
Add filtered water, but leave a little room at the top.
Put on the lid, shake it up, and let it sit overnight.
In the morning, check your sole water.
If you don’t see any salt, add a teaspoon more.
Shake, and give it an hour to dissolve.
Keep going until some salt remains at the bottom.
When the sole water is fully saturated, it is ready.
Add 1 teaspoon to a glass of water every morning before eating anything.
Dip only plastic or wood into the water to scoop it outno metal utensils.
These are the supplements I see being the most beneficial for most people following a ketogenic diet.
