UT Health San Antonio study finds long-term keto diets may lead to aged cells in heart and kidney tissues, recommending intermittent breaks.

A UT Health San Antonio study reveals that long-term "keto" diets, popular for weight loss and diabetes, may lead to aged cells in normal tissues, particularly affecting heart and kidney function. Researchers recommend taking intermittent breaks from the diet to prevent long-term consequences. The findings suggest that the benefits of a ketogenic diet could be enhanced by planned breaks.
