let’s talk about how keto the ketogenic diet could potentially help protect your

immune system especially when we’re talking about the coronavirus now check

this out ninety nine point two percent of all deaths from COVID-19 are

associated with metabolic syndrome and this syndrome your immune system is

compromised big-time now those who do not have other health conditions but die

only have a point eight percent chance of dying versus if you have pre-existing

health problems like blood pressure diabetes heart condition cancer raise

your chance of dying to ninety nine point two percent now let’s take a look

at what is the common denominator of some of these conditions well high blood

pressure most cases of hypertension and I’m talking ninety percent of all of the

hypertensive patients have what’s called essential hypertension essential meaning

they don’t know what causes it I’m gonna put a link down below of this paper that

talks about the interrelationship between insulin resistance and

hypertension in some resistance in compensatory hyperinsulinemia that means

that you’re having high amounts of insulin in the blood as a compensation

so let me just draw this out tankers right here it’s sending insulin okay

into the cells but you have insulin resistance right so it’s it’s gonna be

low right here so the signals won’t get back to the pancreas so there’s no

feedback loop so if there’s no feedback loop to turn it off the pancreas will

make more and more in more and more and this is why people with insulin

resistance have five to seven times more production of insulin in other words

people with instant resistance have a tremendous amount of insulin in the body

but it’s not working that’s what they mean by compensatory hyper insulin emia

that means insulin in the blood commonly occurs in patients with untreated

essential hypertension the coexistence of instant resistance

and hypertension can be viewed as a cause-effect relationship Wow

that’s powerful now I would imagine this is probably a lot less if you factor in

insulin resistance itself which I know for a fact they rarely test that and

especially with these cases they’re not testing if the person has insulin

resistance which could be a pre-diabetic condition in fact in America it’s been

estimated that 60 to 70 percent of the entire population has some level of

insulin resistance so this point eight percent could be on an 0.2 percent

bringing this level up to ninety-nine point eight percent potentially so in

summary what happens when you go on keto this is what you do with this is what

you improve healthy insulin levels you basically get insulin to the level where

it’s no longer high and guess what many times your blood pressure improves your

diabetes type two improves the cardiovascular system gets improving I’m

gonna put links down below showing you those connections as well another vital

reason why people should do keto and especially intermittent fasting to

support their immune systems so we can actually minimize the risk of dying if

the person gets infected if you want information about insulin resistance
