Is Ketogenic Diet Effective In Keeping Blood Pressure Levels Under Control?
Hello, would a ketogenic diet be healthy for a person with high blood pressure if I stick to only the good fats (MUFA s) and mostly chicken , eggs, and non starchy veggies. Or would sticking to plant based protein be a better choice? Desperately trying to lose weight :-(

not much effect on blood pressure point of view but otherwise it's good.in matter of fact that in our body highest metabolic activity is required by brain neurons and they use glucose or ketone as a fuel for energy so ketogenic diet also advised for epileptic patients.
