The Influence of the Keto Diet on Blood Pressure

The keto diet can influence blood pressure. The transition of the body to using ketone bodies as the main source of energy leads to changes in metabolic processes, which can be accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure. This is due to the improvement in blood vessel elasticity and the normalization of the water-salt balance.

Potential Benefits of the Keto Diet for People with Hypertension:

• Reduced inflammation in the body due to decreased insulin levels.
• Weight loss, which can be beneficial for lowering blood pressure.
• Potential improvement in insulin sensitivity, which also contributes to blood pressure normalization.
