A study led by UT Health San Antonio found that long-term ketogenic diets may induce cellular senescence in normal tissues, affecting heart and kidney function. However, intermittent ketogenic diets with breaks did not have the same effects. The research suggests that taking breaks from a strict ketogenic diet may be beneficial to prevent long-term consequences. Keto diets are popular for weight loss and diabetes management but can also have pro-inflammatory effects. The study emphasizes the importance of balancing the benefits of a ketogenic diet with planned breaks to avoid negative health impacts associated with cellular aging.
