Ketogenic diet for human diseases: the underlying mechanisms and potential for clinical implementations
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, adequate-protein, and very-low-carbohydrate diet regimen that mimics the metabolism of the fasting state to induce the production of ketone bodies. The KD has long been established as a remarkably successful dietary approach for the treatment of intractable epilepsy and has increasingly garnered research attention rapidly in the past decade, subject to emerging evidence of the promising therapeutic potential of the KD for various ...

Beyond weight loss: a review of the therapeutic uses of very-low-carbohydrate (ketogenic) diets
Very-low-carbohydrate diets or ketogenic diets have been in use since the 1920s as a therapy for epilepsy and can, in some cases, completely remove the need for medication. From the 1960s onwards they have become widely known as one of the most common methods for obesity treatment. Recent work over the last decade or so has provided evidence of the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets in many pathological conditions, such as diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, acne, neurological ...

The Potential Health Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet: A Narrative Review
Abstract: Considering the lack of a comprehensive, multi-faceted overview of the ketogenic diet (KD) in relation to health issues, we compiled the evidence related to the use of the ketogenic diet in relation to its impact on the microbiome, the epigenome, diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular health, and cancer. The KD diet could potentially increase genetic diversity of the microbiome and increase the ratio of Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes. The epigenome might be positively affected by the KD since it creates a ...

Applications of Ketogenic Diets in Patients with Headache: Clinical Recommendations
Abstract: Headaches are among the most prevalent and disabling neurologic disorders and there are several unmet needs as current pharmacological options are inadequate in treating patients with chronic headache, and a growing interest focuses on nutritional approaches as non-pharmacological treatments. Among these, the largest body of evidence supports the use of the ketogenic diet (KD). Exactly 100 years ago, KD was first used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy, but subsequent applications of this diet also ...

Dieta cetogênica: como colocar em prática?
Resumo
Dieta cetogênica (KD) é uma abordagem dietética rica em gordura, adequada em proteína e com níveis insuficientes de carboidrato para as demandas metabólicas. A maior parte do conhecimento associado à KD vem dos estudos sobre jejum prolongado, dado que ambos produzem o mesmo estado chamado de cetose fisiológica. Os protocolos de dietas cetogênicas mais utilizados atualmente são a “clássica” (ou 4:1), a dieta MAD (dieta Atkins modificada), a dieta MCT (medium chain triglyceride ketogenic diet) e a dieta LGIT (low glycemic ...

Mental Health and COVID-19: Early evidence of the pandemic’s impact
Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the mental health and wellbeing of people around the world (1). While many individuals have adapted (2), others have experienced mental health problems, in some cases a consequence of COVID-19 infection (3–5). The pandemic also continues to impede access to mental health services and has raised concerns about increases in suicidal behaviour (6).
The aim of this scientific brief is to present current evidence regarding the mental health aspects of the ...

Dietary Supplementations and Depression
Abstract: Depression is a mood disturbance condition that occurs for more than two weeks in a row, leading to suicide. Due to adverse effects of depression, antidepressants and adjunctive therapies, such as dietary supplementation, are used for treatment. Therefore, this review explored and summarized dietary supplements’ types, dosages, and effectiveness in preventing and treating depression. A literature search of the PubMed database was conducted in August 2021 to identify studies assessing depression, after which scale measurements based on ...
