Keto diet and Immunity
                     Keto diet and 
Immunity
Keto diet is a high fat, moderate protein and a low carb diet. Following a well balanced
keto diet switches your body to a fat metabolism state by limiting the availability of 
glucose in the system. In the ketogenic diet, meals usually consist of a variety of poultry, 
fish, meat, and non-starchy vegetables.
Lets see the impact of keto diet in improving immunity:
1. Keto diet protects us from influenza flu : The research from science immunology 
journal suggests that, following a keto diet provides protection against the lethal 
influenza infection.The ketogenic diet promotes the expansion of gamma delta T 
(γδ T) cells in the airways. These γδ T cells produce mucus in the linings of the 
lungs,
which aids the body to get rid of infectious agents and also blocks the formation of
inflammasomes, which can cause deleterious immune system responses
2. The ketogenic diet enhances immunity against malignant glioma: The 
research published in BMC cancer journal suggests that following a keto diet can 
increase the tumor-reactive innate and adaptive immune responses to help fight 
cancer causing agents.
3. Ketogenic diet positively affects immune cells: The study published in Nature 
Reviews Endocrinology suggests that ketogenic diet helps reduce inflammation and 
enhances metabolic outcomes.Following keto diet for 3–4 months shows the 
increased Gamma delta T calls which are metabolically protective against Autistic 
behaviour and overall metabolic functions of the body.
4. Decreases Fat Mass : Obesity has been identified as a risk factor for diabetic 
patienst and even COVID-19 hospitalization in patients under 60, This means that 
the COVID- 19 infection tends to be more severe in obese individuals. When you 
consume more calories than you burn, your body stores those calories for a rainy 
day. This is a vital adaptive ability that has allowed the survival of humanity during 
times when food was scarce.Following a keto diet can help body use stored fat as 
its energy source for all the bodily function, hence reducing the accumulated fat and 
improving metabolism by boosting immunity to fight against pathogens and certain 
virus including covid- 19
Mama Keto’s motto is to provide nutritious meals, where lifestyle diseases can be 
addressed with well balanced Macro and Micro nutrients. Our personalised approach to 
each individual & bringing a variety of cuisines to meet all taste pallets ensures keto 
Diet is never boring.
Take Away:
1. The Ketogenic Diet appears to decrease inflammation as evidenced by improving 
inflammatory markers
2. This anti-inflammatory effect may boost the immune system by removing the burden 
of systemic chronic inflammation
3. The anti-inflammatory effects appear to be enhanced by choosing foods consistent 
with Keto diet.
4. The Ketogenic Diet is effective at reducing obesity which decreases inflammation 
and improves immunity and decreases risk and severity of infection
