A recent study conducted by researchers at the New Yale University was aimed at determining the ability of the ketogenic diet to prevent influenza virus from causing infection. This study was published in the journal Science Immunology in November 2019.
The researchers found that the ketogenic diet may prevent or reduce the likelihood of influenza infection. During the study, the researchers fed some influenza-infected mice with a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet. The mice that ate this type of diet showed higher survival rates compared with mice that ate a high-carbohydrate diet only.
The ketogenic diet can activate a subset of T cells located in the lungs. As a response, the immune system produces mucus in the linings of the lungs. This mucus traps influenza virus and prevents it from causing infection.
This research is considered promising, but it is not readily transferable to humans because of metabolism issues. However, it is considered a good starting point for future research efforts focused on determining the ability of ketogenic diet to prevent influenza in humans.
