Fueling the Brain

Lactate and ketones are emerging as vital alternative fuels for the brain, especially in conditions like dementia and traumatic brain injury. When glucose is insufficient due to insulin resistance, ketones become crucial for energy, highlighting the desperate need of the brain for these fuels. Interestingly, research shows that ketones may also support the health of pancreatic beta cells, offering potential insights into type one diabetes management.
