36:30 - Cardio on keto 39:30 - How to manipulate dietary fats to burn more body fat with the C18:0 fat stearic acid:
π Research paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05614-6If dietary C18:0 signals the intake of lipids to the human body, to activate a physiological response for lipid handling which includes fatty acid beta-oxidation, whereas C16:0 does not, this would imply that C16:0 ingestion will lead to more fat accumulation in the body than C18:0 ingestion. As you can see, not all fats are equal, more C18:0 leaner body. ------

For your convenience, I have listed below all the therapeutic benefits that keto provides.
But first, we need to look at the science to see why and how Ξ²-hydroxybutyrate inhibits inflammation and is considered therapeutic and healing. The research of Ξ²-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) for resolving out of control inflammation: π Ketone body BHB blocks the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4352123/
π Ketone metabolite BHB inhibits inflammation in myeloid cells (bone marrow). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25991463
π BHB Regulates Energy Metabolism and Induces BDNF Expression in Cerebral Cortical Neurons https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5123937/
π BHB attenuates stress-induced behavioural, and inflammatory responses! That is OUTSTANDING! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5550422/
π BHB suppresses inflammasome formation by ameliorating endoplasmic reticulum stress. What is the endoplasmic reticulum responsible for? Check it out: Sex Hormones, Protein Synthesis, Fat Metabolism, And Detox Pathways.
π BHB increases your V8 factories! Thatβs right, more mitochondria to make more V8 hormones. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3764375/
