10 Signs of Ketosis
Ketosis Sign #7: Increased Long-Term Energy and Improved Brain Function
There are many symptoms during ketosis and there are long-term benefits of ketosis. When the body does not have a high level of carbohydrates, it starts to use fat as fuel. Short-term symptoms may include fatigue during the beginning of ketosis, but when the body adapts it suddenly creates energy. The brain starts to burn ketones instead of glucose.
Studies have shown that ketosis helps people focus more. In one study 23 older adults with mild cognitive impairment were selected and findings have shown that a low carbohydrate consumption improved memory function and those at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The long-term effect of ketosis may have its benefits to health.
