(Buck Institute for Research on Aging) A ketogenic diet significantly improved memory in aging mice and increased their chances of surviving to old age. Eating a ketogenic diet promotes the production of the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate acid (BHB). While small studies in humans suggest that BHB could improve memory, this is the first study in aging mammals which details its positive effects. Researchers think the benefits of BHB could go beyond memory, opening a new field in aging research.
