Description

The increasing rates of suicide and addiction are serious issues that seldom get discussed publicly, and most people tend to think that there is nothing that can be done about them.Contrary to that is the use of ketones and ketosis to change one’s emotional disposition. That information is serious and important, and it is not difficult to understand it or carry it out. We hope you will agree with that as we all climb out of this pandemic together.CovidThe first reports of Covid came out a year ago. People found themselves having to stay inside their homes, college students were unable to have a normal year, and high-school students could not celebrate their graduations. The pressures of the Covid situation also left many of us with ongoing sets of problems, which include mental health issues.Suicide rates are on the riseThe problem that we are going to focus on today is that suicide rates are on the rise.The ketogenic dietDr. Karl got into the ketogenic diet for his health because he was looking for something to move his immune system in a more positive direction. The ketogenic diet worked, and as a result, he felt obliged to look into how that happened.GABA productionKetones help the GABA receptors stimulate GABA production. GABA is also anti-addiction. MeditationYou can access GABA without the use of any medications by meditating. You can calm yourself with meditation. It slows down the conversion to glutamate and increases the production of GABA.Shifting to a ketogenic dietThere is a biochemical aspect to becoming more positive-minded. When people shift to a ketogenic diet and stop eating processed foods, they become more functional, balanced, reasonable, optimistic, and positive-minded. And they also become better able to do things and participate.Increasing your levels of access to ketonesYou can increase your levels of access to ketones through your diet with MCT oil (C8 or C10) and with exogenous ketones, which you can buy from Amazon. Links:Join Our Facebook Group Keto NaturopathSubscribe to our YouTube ChannelDownload our Free Keto Foods ListVisit our partnersBuy Keto Friendly Dry Farm WinesGet your KetoMoJo Here and test your ketones.Links to academic studies of ketone effect on Gaba:Ketosis and brain handling of glutamate, glutamine, and GABAA Ketogenic Diet Improves Cognition and Has Biochemical Effects in Prefrontal Cortex That Are Dissociable From HippocampusLinks to recent news stories about the increasing rates of suicides:For Some Teens, It’s Been a Year of Anxiety and Trips to the E.R.As Pandemic Took Hold, Suicide Rose Among Japanese Women
