160 This is Thomas Seyfried.He's a scientist who's dedicated 30+ years to researching cancer.His message? Cancer IS preventable.It's caused by lifestyle factors, not genetics.Here are Seyfried's 7 MOST important rules for preventing cancer: (twitter.com) posted 8 days ago by Hammer_of_leftists 8 days ago by Hammer_of_leftists +161 / -1 25 comments share 25 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Seyfried emphasizes the importance of keeping blood sugar levels stable by avoiding:
• Sugar • Refined carbs • Processed foods
Diets high in sugar can also lead to chronic inflammation & increase the risk of cancer development.
• High-fat • Moderate-protein • Low-carbohydrate
This diet shifts the body from using glucose as its primary energy source to burning fat & ketones.
Since cancer cells primarily rely on glucose for growth...
Limiting glucose starves cancer cells & supports metabolic health.
Foods you'd consume on this diet:
• Nuts • Olive oil • Avocados • Low-carb vegetables • Lean proteins (Ex. fish)
Seyfried advises adopting an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, which includes:
• Avoiding processed foods & sugar • Consuming anti-inflammatory foods (turmeric, fatty fish, green tea, etc) • Reducing stress through things like meditation, deep breathing & proper supplements
4)Fasting. Seyfried is a big advocate for both intermittent fasting & longer-term fasting.
Fasting reduces blood glucose & enhances ketone production...
Which cancer cells cannot efficiently use.
This helps inhibit their growth & promotes autophagy (the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells).
3)Reduce Stress. Chronic stress damages the mitochondria & increases inflammation in the body.
As we've learned...
These 2 are major drivers for causing cancer.
Reducing stress can look like:
• Meditation/breathwork • Prioritizing rest & recovery • Taking natural supplements (L-theanine, Cordyceps mushrooms, etc)
2)Regular exercise. Seyfried emphasizes regular exercise as VITAL for preventing cancer by:
• Improving mitochondrial function • Lowering blood sugar and inflammation • Supporting autophagy to clear damaged cells
Here are some forms of exercise anyone can do:
• Walking • Swimming • Strength training
Any form of movement is better than none.
Simply moving your body daily is the goal.
1)Prioritize sleep. Sleep is when our body recovers & heals itself.
Especially our mitochondria.
The better & the more sleep we get, we better our body is able to do this.
Which means it's absolutely vital for preventing metabolic damage & cancer.
Young adult cancers are up 79% in the last 10 years.
People's genetics didn't suddenly get that much worse...
So it must be related to our lifestyles:
• Processed foods • Too much sugar • Being sedentary
It's up to us to fight back.
Don't become a victim of the American Healthcare system.
Basically, "Eat shit and die".
Grandma always said you are what you eat
