The controversial high-fat, low-carb keto diet can add 10 years to your lifespan, research has shown.
Two new studies have concluded that the lifestyle – favored by self-modeled health expert Gwyneth Paltrow and others such as Mick Jagger and Kim Kardashian – can even ward off Alzheimer’s and cancer.
The studies tested mice who were fed the keto diet and found that they were more resistant to life-threatening diseases, and were more likely to live to old age in good health.
Researchers are now trying to create a supplement that will provide humans with the benefits of the diet without making them adhere to it.
