Ketones in Urine - #17047
I’ve been feeling extremely thirsty lately, and I’ve been urinating more frequently than usual. At first, I thought it was just due to the hot weather, but the symptoms have been persisting for a while now. A few days ago, I went to the doctor for a checkup, and they did a urine test, which showed that I had ketones in my urine. The doctor mentioned that ketones are produced when the body starts burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, which can happen in conditions like diabetes, fasting, or even with a low-carb diet. The doctor didn’t immediately suggest that I had diabetes, but they recommended further tests to check my blood sugar levels. I’ve been trying to stay healthy and avoid any serious conditions, so this news has left me worried. I’ve heard that ketones in the urine can sometimes indicate a metabolic issue, and I’m wondering if I need to be concerned about my long-term health. I’ve been thinking about my diet and whether I’m eating the right foods to support my body. I know that Ayurveda emphasizes balance in everything, so I’m curious if there are any Ayurvedic dietary recommendations that can help manage ketones in the urine or improve overall metabolism. I’m hoping to find some natural remedies to help regulate my energy levels and support my body’s functions. Has anyone experienced ketones in their urine? How did you manage it, and did Ayurvedic treatments help improve your condition?
