- Eating low-carb and high-fat diet can help fight against Alzheimer's disease, by protecting neurons from death during the progression of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new research.
- Since interneurons require more energy compared to other neurons, they may be more susceptible to dying when they encounter the Alzheimer's disease protein amyloid beta.
- "Ketogenic" is a term for a low-carb diet. The idea is to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates.
