Cancer: a scary word, nobody wants to deal with radio, chemotherapy and surgery and be threatened with death every minute. So let's try to do what depend on us to prevent it. OMS has some recommendations: don't smoke, exercise, avoid pollution, eat healthy, drink alcohol in moderation, use screening test.
I want to stop on the subject of eating healthy and why I encourage intermittent fasting. As I said before every day in our body forms around 300 cancerous cells, that are eliminated by our immune system. When for some reason something happens with our immune system one of these cells starts to multiplicate and becomes a tumor. The reason why these cells forms are numerous and little known: heritage, radiation, pollution, oxidative stress, viruses, inflammation etc, etc
Scientists explain how intermittent fasting can protect the body from cancer. The main source of energy for the cancerous cell is the glucose and sometimes glutamate. The healthy cells of our body, including brain cells and cardiac muscle cell can take their energy from ketones. The ketones are the product of fat burning. The body starts to burn fats after 6-12 hours of fasting. If you don't feed the bad cell it will dye. Some studies say that people who do intermittent fasting during cancer treatment have a better response to that.
As I discuss in another article (7) intermittent fasting reduces the oxidative stress,the body is more vigilant and enters a state of repair and cleaning, modifies the expression of genes, phenomenon known as epigenetics.(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
It takes a little time to adapt to hungry sensation, but all you need to know that it comes and gos and gets easier with time.
