🌴Benefits of BHB🌴
As the primary ketone ⚛️ body found in the blood during the process of ketosis, BHB serves us principally as a fuel source. During the process of breaking down this ketone, BHB is used as fuel by the mitochondria after being converted into acetoacetate 🦠 and then to acetyl-CoA, an enzyme that works endlessly during metabolic processes to provide us with energy.
Additionally, beta-hydroxybutyrate acts as a powerful energy source for our 🧠 brain. Because BHB can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, it’s particularly well-suited to providing the brain with energy. ⚡️It should be noted, however, that BHB does more for our brains than simply provide them with fuel.
Beta-hydroxybutyrate can also trigger the release of chemicals called neurotrophins 😄, which support neuron function and synapse formation. Research indicates that one of the neurotrophins BHB triggers is associated with cognitive enhancement, alleviation of depression, and reduction in anxiety!🧘♀️🧘♂️🧘
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (or simply BHB) allows the body to burn stored fats🛢 and not use carbs 🍝for energy. This eventually leads to weight☀️ loss.
