Can Fasting Help Cancer? A Deep Dive Into Cellular Health

Today, I’m tackling a question I’ve been hearing a lot lately: Can fasting help with cancer prevention and recovery? This is a big topic, but I’ve got a fascinating study to share with you that sheds some light on it. Plus, I’ve broken it down into four key points to help you understand how fasting and cellular health work together to fight cancer. So let’s get into

Why Do Cancer Cells Form?

Let’s start by demystifying cancer a bit. Did you know that cancer cells were once healthy cells? That’s right—something happened to those cells that caused them to turn cancerous. So, what exactly causes a healthy cell to transform into a cancer cell?

The most important takeaway here is that what we eat plays a huge role. This brings us to one critical point: you’ve got to avoid the three most poisonous foods:

1. Bad oils
2. Refined processed flour
3. Sugar

These ingredients are toxic to our bodies and can contribute to the formation of cancer cells. Over the past several decades, over 50,000 new ingredients have been added to our food supply, many of which are classified as “generally recognized as safe” by the FDA. However, not all of them are safe, and some can cause long-term damage, like cancer.

The solution? Get back to nature’s food. When you shop, stick to the outer aisles of the grocery store where fresh produce, meats, and whole foods reside. Nature’s food doesn’t trick us—it’s the processed stuff in the middle of the store that can do the most harm. Avoid foods that can live in your pantry for months and still be “fresh.” Those foods are typically man-made and packed with toxic ingredients.

Fasting and Cellular Health

The second point I want to make is how fasting can help clean up our cells and make them more efficient. This is where fasting gets really exciting! Fasting for 17 hours or longer triggers a process called autophagy. This is the body’s natural way of cleaning out damaged cells, which helps prevent those cells from turning cancerous.

But there’s more—fasting also activates something called apoptosis. This is when your body detects that a cell might be turning into a cancer cell and kills it before it has the chance to grow out of control. Isn’t it amazing how intelligent our bodies are?

The Study on Fasting & Breast Cancer

Now, onto the study I mentioned earlier. This study was conducted on over 2,000 women with breast cancer, and it’s one of the largest studies of its kind.

The women were split into two groups:

• Group 1: They fasted for less than 13 hours per day (essentially, just sleeping and then eating).
• Group 2: They fasted for more than 13 hours per day.

Here’s the incredible result: women who fasted for over 13 hours had a 64% lower chance of breast cancer recurrence. That’s massive! Think about it—if you were offered a drug that could reduce your cancer recurrence by 64%, wouldn’t you take it? Well, this power is already inside of you, and fasting is the key to unlocking it.

Beyond Fasting: Boosting Cancer Prevention

Outside of fasting and cutting out the three poisonous foods, another critical step in cancer prevention is increasing your vitamin D levels. Decades of research show that vitamin D plays a crucial role in boosting immunity, fighting infections, and protecting against cancer. So, make sure you’re getting enough vitamin D!

Recap: Your Anti-Cancer Action Plan

Let’s sum it up:

1. Cut out the three poisonous foods (bad oils, refined flour, and sugar).
2. Fast for at least 13 hours daily to promote cellular health and prevent cancer cell formation.
3. Boost your vitamin D levels for optimal immune function and cancer prevention.

By making these simple lifestyle changes, you’ll be giving your body the tools it needs to protect itself from cancer and promote long-term health.
