Studies have shown in mice suffering from diabetes, low-carb diet with plenty of fat in just two months virtually restored the rodent kidney. This rather extreme diet that involves virtually complete abandonment of carbohydrates is called ketogenic diet .
Typically, ketogenic diet are used to help children suffering from epilepsy. During the diet the body is deprived of carbohydrates and sugar, which causes it to start burning fat stores to provide the necessary "fuel". In normal mode, power for these purposes, the body uses glucose. The ketogenic diet characterized by an extraordinary rigidity in the selection of food, so it is recommended to take place under the supervision of experts.
Typically, such a composition low-carb diets included eggs with cream, bacon and scrambled eggs with oil, or lettuce with mayonnaise. Doctors have long been theorized about whether the ketogenic diet help diabetics by blocking the toxic effects of glucose. This simple sugar is produced during the process of metabolism, but patients with diabetes, he represents a serious danger to health, because their body is not enough insulin to regulate glucose.
A group of researchers from the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, has divided the mice were ill with diabetes type 1 and 2, into two groups. One adhered to a standard diet with lots of carbohydrates, and the other - the ketogenic diet. After two months of observations in the second group of mice there was no sign kidney failure .
