Here's the thing. Do you know for a fact that your diet is directly responsible for your sharpness of brain and low blood pressure/cholesterol/weight? Or are they perhaps coincidental?

I can say that mine are a direct result of my diet because when I went off my diet, my low blood pressure/cholesterol zoomed up (and my weight also a wee bit) and my doctor said, "What are you doing differently?"

Oddly, I hadn't really changed my diet much, just added a few sandwiches here and there. For the most part, I even used what was sold as "Keto Friendly" tortilla wraps.

I immediately went back on my strict Keto diet and in a few weeks had a blood workup.

Blood pressure/cholesterol were back in low range. Weight dropped by the few pounds I had added.

Anyway, you see my point.

Cause and effect established.

Addendum: When I was younger, I didn't have a problem with high blood pressure or cholesterol. I think that's a family thing.

Of course, my diet didn't actually "cause" those problems per se, but it did (and does) fix them. Whereas a normal "balanced" diet did not.
