#DavidHarper, a #cancer researcher and physiology professor, has been on Keto for six years. But he tells anyone who wants to try it to talk to a doctor first.β β "Should we put everybody on a #ketogenicdiet? I don't think so," Harper said. "Because about a quarter of the people probably don't need it."β β People who should be especially cautious about keto include those with a history of #kidney or #liver issues, as well as #pregnantwomen. Others that should never follow the eating regimen have rare disorders that make it difficult to #metabolize #ketones, which are the chemicals your liver makes when it burns #fatforfuel.β β People's #magnesium levels can also plummet on the keto diet, and the plan can mess up the diverse garden of gut microbes that help us stay healthy if dieters aren't careful.β β So if you do go keto, make sure to get enough fiber from #leafygreens and low-starch #veggies to keep things running smoothly. And drink lots of #water. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmpeEQHVIl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=167e5aa3ja2xj
