Insulin resistance and cognitive decline


(Ben) #1

This study concludes that higher serum fasting insulin and insulin resistance predict poorer verbal fluency and a steeper decline in verbal fluency

I think we all knew that anyway, so keto on folks.

“Prevention and treatment of insulin resistance might help reduce cognitive decline later in life.”

Yes, that among other things, like T2D, obesity, heart attack, cancer, stroke…

I couldn’t read the whole paper, but it seems that they stop short of recommending a LCHF diet and leave the whole question of how to prevent and treat IR up in the air. Elephant in the room!
