10 Benefits of a Keto Diet
Benefit #7: Therapeutic against Brain Disorders
The keto diet first began to help children with epilepsy. This began in the 1920s. Thus, the diet has been around for decades. In many cases, this diet can cure children of epilepsy. In one study, over half of the children on a keto diet experienced a greater than 50% reduction in their number of seizures, while 16% became seizure-free.
