Today we’re going to talk about how keto can potentially help protect your immune system, especially when it comes to the coronavirus.

99.2% of all deaths from COVID-19 are associated with metabolic syndrome. With this syndrome, your immune system is compromised big time.

Those who do not have other health issues have a 0.8% chance of death. If a person has pre-existing health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, a heart condition, or cancer, the risk of death significantly increases.

It’s possible that insulin resistance is really behind some cases of health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, certain heart conditions, or cancer. It’s estimated that 60-70% of Americans have some level of insulin resistance.

When you go on healthy keto, you’re working to improve metabolic syndrome. Healthy keto promotes healthy insulin levels, which, in turn, may help improve certain health conditions. The healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can potentially help support the immune system and minimize the chance of dying if infected.

1:54.1	hypertension. Insulin resistance in compensatory hyperinsulinemia that

2:05.0	So let me just draw this out.
2:07.0	Pankers right here.
2:09.0	It's sending insulin, okay, into the cells.
2:16.6	But you have insulin resistance right so it's it's going to be low right here so the signals won't get back to the pancreas so there's no
