Below are the 7 benefits of this diet.

High Blood Sugar Level

Meals consumed during a ketogenic diet naturally helps lower blood sugar level. Research has proven that ketogenic diet is a more effective way to prevent or manage diabetes compared to a low-calorie diet plan. Remember in my last article, it was established that the food ratio for ketogenic diet is 75% of fat, 20% of protein and 5% of carbohydrate. Sugar which happens to be the end product of carbohydrate is a major root cause of Diabetes; which is why ketogenic diet known as low-carb diet is the best for high blood sugar level.

Weight Loss

Ketogenic diet uses the body fat as an energy source and this helps with weight loss. While on the ketogenic diet the insulin, level go down turning your body into a fat burning machine. Based on personal experience and research the ketogenic diet is more effective compared to low-fat and high-carb diets.

Intellectual Focus

Ketones have been said to be a great source of fuel for the brain. This is because of the increased intake of fatty acids which has great benefits to our brain function. When you are on a low-carb diet, it helps avoid big spikes in blood sugar level which can result in improving focus and concentration. The ketogenic diet also helps increase energy level by giving your body a better and more reliable energy source.

Reduced Hunger Pangs

Fats are naturally more satisfying and they end up leaving the body in a full state for a longer period. The portion control included in the ketogenic diet plan helps the stomach reduces hunger pangs.

Managed Epilepsy

Research shows that keto helps in controlling seizures in some people with epilepsy. This diet is usually recommended by doctors for children whose seizures have not responded to a different type of medication. It is also used to prevent and reduce seizures in children living with epilepsy.

Blood Pressure and Reduced Cholesterol

A popular misconception about keto diet says that this lifestyle is prone to raise the cholesterol level in the body causing high blood pressure because of the high fat intake which fears the LDL. But on the ketogenic diet, you are encouraged to feed healthy fats like coconut oil, palm oil, lard, eggs, cream, red meat, grass-fed animal products and dairy fats like butter and yogurt to mention a few. The LDL cause high cholesterol and high blood pressure while ketogenic diet increase HDL.

The Easy Flow of Menstrual Cycle

Personally, prior to this time my menstrual cycle comes with lots of pain and the colour was different from the usual, but after I started the ketogenic diet I no longer feel menstrual cramps and the colour, now pure red. I am happy to be on this journey because I feel healthy.

Aside from the benefits listed above, I have also been told of personal stories how ketogenic diet tackles Fibroid, barrenness, Polycystic Ovarian syndrome, infertility problem, and hormonal imbalance. Also, it starves cancer cells of their food which is glucose.

You should give this diet a try, if you are looking to stay healthy and free from any medical condition.

Even as makeup has been doing great jobs on women, the overuse has some negative effects on our skin. It is highly important that we allow our skin breathe and not always clog our skin pores with makeup every time.

Few of the negative effects that can occur while overusing makeup will be explained below

Acne:

This is quite common among ladies. Acne breeds on the face when you refuse to allow some air on your skin, always padding and touching up with makeup. Also, it occurs once cosmetics is not properly cleaned off the face before going to bed. To avoid this, clean thoroughly with a natural face cleanser after washing your face every night.

Premature Aging:

Makeup products are mostly chemicals that also have their side effects. When used for so long, they have a way of leaving their trade mark on the skin  thus resulting into a quick aging effect. When we notice wrinkles on our faces there is a need to stop and check out what may be the cause, it could be some of the skin care products we use.

Skin Discolouration:

When we see some people without makeup we sometimes get that irritating feeling and we are quick to say “no wonder their face is always made up, they have a bad skin” but what we do not know is that their skin was probably much better before they were exposed to the harmful effect of cosmetics products. It gets worse when we use fake skin products.

Dry Skin:

This is not really as common as the others but it is also a challenge for our skin. The use of some cosmetics product can leave the skin permanently dry causing skin cracks.

Cancer:

This is a quite scary right? However it can be avoided. When we reduce the use and avoid going to bed with chemicals on. As earlier stated, cosmetics contain some amount of chemicals which when applied, is absorbed into the skin and can lead to skin cancer overtime. It is therefore advisable to use less of these products with harsh chemicals ,reduce the use of makeup and clean up before going to bed.

These and many others are the negativity that come with the overuse of applying cosmetics. We need to always check the chemical content of these products before purchasing them.  Also, let’s be aware of the dangers involved in the overuse- this should guide how often these cosmetics are applied.
