You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is that a keto diet may protect your eyes, at least if

you're a mouse, and probably if you're a human.

According to new research published in the Journal of Neuroscience, switching mice destined

to develop glaucoma onto a low carb high fat diet, which is the template for Bulletproof,

although it's not always keto.

But it protects the cells of the red nut and their connections to the brain.

And the study adds to a bunch of other findings that this kind of diet has neuroprotective

effects on Alzheimer's Parkinson's and ALS.

You might have noticed that a lot of the research in my book, Head Strong About My Dechondria,

relied on research on those three things because when the brain breaks, that's bad.

When you do things that make broken brains heal, and you do those to brains that are

already well, they kind of kick ass more, which is the idea behind it.

And in this study, they concluded that hybrids have glaucoma in people with diabetes also

suggest a potential connection between that eye disease and metabolic stress.

And the reason I'm bringing this to your attention is that when you make your metabolism

work better, your risk of every disease and your risk of dying from any cause other than

a piano falling on your head goes down.

And there's no double-blind clinical trials on pianos falling on your head either, but

we just kind of know that.

Now, if you like bulletproof radio, you like what you hear.

I would love it if you took a few seconds to go to bulletproof.com slash iTunes, which
