6. The CKD Can Improve Gut Health
Extended ketosis may disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, as carbohydrates play an important role in feeding microbiome diversity. Periodic carb feeds on a CKD provide prebiotics to feed healthy gut flora.
The fiber from whole food carbs acts as prebiotic fuel for probiotics to flourish. This maintains a diversity of beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species. A healthy gut optimizes digestion, immunity, and metabolic health.
