How to Increase Blood Flow to the Brain

The Effect of Keto Dieting

Several studies have suggested ketones’ importance in relieving traumatic brain injury, where they help increase blood flow to the brain significantly. Following a keto (or ketogenic) diet simply means taking meals that are rich in fat and much less of carbohydrates. By doing so, the body and brain are thrown into a state where they become dependent on fatty acids for their survival instead of the regular glucose. This leads to more ketone production and fat burning; a condition called ketosis. The overall effect increases blood flow to the brain and other body parts. [4]
