“Results of a randomized, controlled trial on the impact of physical exercise and a ketogenic diet on narcolepsy showed both exercise and the diet improved excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in narcolepsy type 1.” “EDS was improved by both interventions "to a point where the results were clinically relevant and in the range of those seen with drug treatment," said study investigator Frederike Tepel, Centre for Narcolepsy and Hypersomnia, Witten/Herdecke University, Witten, Germany.”

"The most important finding was that the sports group experienced a decrease of 2.9 points on the ESS from 13.9 to 11 points, which is clinically significant, and those in the ketogenic group also experienced a reduction of just over three points on the ESS, which was also clinically significant, while the control group stayed stable during the 10 weeks," said Tepel.

“Both also improved fatigue and physical and mental quality of life, while the ketogenic diet additionally led to significant weight loss compared with best clinical practice, “and these interventions are available everywhere and quite inexpensive, and we couldn't document any adverse effects,” said Tepel.” IMAGINE IF THEY HAD A GROUP THAT DID EXERCISE AND THE KETO DIET like the Eat Well – Move Well – Think Well® Lifestyle Plan!!!
