As I’ve found out too recently.
Sugar can raise BP just as much as, if not more than, salt.
Indeed, lower salt to tiny amounts, and can still have high BP. Reduce sugar, aka Keto/Atkins, and BP goes to 120/80 like levels.
So, keto's not so bad.
I also can't attest to the fact that keto keeps my head clear and my thinking sharp. Carbs are awful for brain fog. Grain brain it's called.
I would suggest that keto and coffee will add about 10-20 points to your IQ.;-) That pushes mine up to about 80.
If I start identifying as a minority, I think I can get into medical school.
