Heart Health

It is widely known that obesity and being overweight can increase the risk of health

 problems, including heart disease. However, a new study has found that the causes of obesity may have differing implications for heart disease risk. The study, conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Solna, Sweden, found that individuals who were obese due to lifestyle factors had a higher risk of heart disease than those who were predisposed to obesity genetically. In fact, the link between obesity and cardiovascular disease was twice as strong in those with a genetic predisposition for a low BMI than in those who were obese due to genetic factors. 


To conduct the study, the researchers analyzed data from over 15,000 twins in the Swedish Twin Registry, gathering information on their BMI and their genetic predisposition for high BMI. Medical registry data was also used to establish the incidence of heart disease in this group. 


These findings highlight the importance of lifestyle choices in maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of heart disease, even for those who may be genetically predisposed to obesity.

The ketogenic lifestyle is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been shown to have a number of health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and reduced risk of heart disease. When you follow a ketogenic diet, you force your body to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This is done by restricting your intake of carbohydrates to less than 50 grams per day. When you do this, your body enters a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your liver breaks down fat into ketones, which are molecules that your body can use for energy.
