Only 5-10% of all cancer cases are attributed to genetics, and studies in epigenetics<\/a> have shown that we can turn off these genes through our lifestyle choices. For the remaining cases, the top lifestyle choices that increase our cancer risk include obesity, smoking, diet, alcohol and stress. And all of these factors also trigger chronic inflammation, which causes DNA damage and leads to cancer.<\/p>\nIf managing certain known risk factors can lower our chances of developing cancer, then why not take action? And check out the 5 blue zones<\/a>, where people live longer and have the least chronic diseases, including cancer.<\/p>\nSo what can we do?<\/h3>\n\nEat well.<\/strong> The development of cancer is heavily influenced by our diet. Reduce or eliminate consumption of saturated fat, processed meat and red meat, and increase consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. < MORE ><\/button>\n\n\u00a0Fruits and veggies pack an anti-cancer punch because they’re high in nutrients and fiber, and low in fat.\n\nCruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, arugula<\/em>) contain sulforaphane<\/a>, a plant compound that protects against DNA damage that can turn cells cancerous.<\/li>\nCarrots, Brussels sprouts <\/em>and squash<\/em> contain carotenoids<\/a>, which act to reduce cancer development through their antioxidant properties and cell signaling functions.<\/li>\nTomatoes, guavas, watermelon, grapefruit, papaya, red bell peppers, persimmon, asparagus, red cabbage <\/em>and mangos<\/em> contain a compound called lycopene<\/a> that has anticancer properties.<\/li>\nColorful berries<\/em> are high in anthocyanins<\/a>, a plant pigment that inhibits the growth of cancer cells.<\/li>\nApples, berries, cherries, grapes<\/em> and plums<\/em> contain polyphenols<\/a> that prevent inflammation and may modulate certain processes that can lead to cancer development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Flaxseed<\/a> <\/em>lowers cancer risk, and also has properties that fight cancer.<\/li>\n\u00a0Herbs and spices can modify microbiota which stimulates growth in organisms that protect against cancer.\n\nGarlic<\/a> contains allicin, a compound that has been shown to kill off cancer cells.<\/li>\nCinnamon<\/a> is loaded with antioxidants, may reduce the growth of cancer cells and the formation of blood vessels in tumors, and appears to be toxic to cancer cells.<\/li>\nCurcumin<\/a> is the active ingredient in turmeric, and is a chemical with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer effects. Turmeric is better absorbed when combined with black pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Brazil nuts<\/em><\/a> (high in selenium) and walnuts <\/em><\/a> may help prevent certain types of cancer.<\/li>\n\u00a0Green tea<\/em><\/a> contains antioxidants called catechins, which help prevent cancer and shrink tumors.<\/li>\n\u00a0Add more unsaturated (healthy) fats<\/a> from olive oil, nuts and avocados. Avoid trans fat or partially hydrogenated oil found in packaged and fried foods (cookies, crackers, pie crusts, pizza dough, French fries, hard taco shells). Avoid saturated fat from red meat and dairy.<\/li>\n\u00a0Limit the amount of processed foods, sugars and refined carbohydrates. High levels of added sugars contribute to obesity, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer. Certain preservatives can be harmful due to their ability to form cancer-causing agents. Instead, focus on adding “whole” foods and raw foods, as close to their natural state as possible.<\/li>\n\u00a0Processed meats (hot dogs, bacon, sausage, pepperoni, lunch meats) contain chemicals called nitrites and nitrates, and have been classified as a Class 1 carcinogen by the WHO (World Health Organization).<\/li>\n\u00a0Research suggests that too much red meat could be a risk for colorectal cancer, and has been classified as a Class 2A carcinogen by the WHO. Red meat includes beef, pork, lamb, mutton, veal and goat. The amino acids in meat trigger the liver to release a growth hormone called IGF-1 (which is also in milk), telling cells in the body to divide and not die.<\/li>\n\u00a0If you include fish in your diet, then select fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and anchovies. They contain important nutrients such as vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids that have been linked to a lower risk of cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nGet enough Vitamin D.<\/strong> It has been shown that higher levels of vitamin D help regulate cell growth and reduce the risk of cancer.<\/li>\nPrepare your food in healthy ways<\/strong>.\n\n\u00a0When cooking vegetables, steam only until tender.<\/li>\n\u00a0To reduce your exposure to carcinogens, do not cook oils on high heat.<\/li>\n\u00a0Go easy on the BBQ since burning or charring food creates carcinogenic substances.<\/li>\n\u00a0When using the microwave, cover food with waxed paper rather than plastic wrap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nExercise regularly<\/strong>. Exercise fights obesity and lowers levels of estrogen and insulin, which have been linked to cancer.<\/li>\nStay lean<\/strong>. Being overweight or obese is linked to an overall increased risk of cancer. < MORE ><\/button>\nFat cells (adipose tissue) change the environment inside the body by releasing chemicals that can make the cells near them act differently and potentially become cancerous. This process happens in various ways in different parts of the body, leading to different types of cancer developing.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0Inflammatory response<\/strong>: When there is a large collection of fat cells (adipocytes), immune system cells gather around the fat cells to ‘tidy up’ the area around them. This is known as an inflammatory response. However, these immune cells also release chemicals known as cytokines which can encourage cells to divide more rapidly than they die off, leading to cancer growth.<\/li>\n\u00a0Hormones<\/strong>: Obesity lowers testosterone levels and releases excess amounts of estrogen. The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen will be released. For women, this causes cells in the womb and breasts to divide uncontrollably, which may cause cancer. In men, a high level of estrogen may increase the risk of prostate cancer.<\/li>\n\u00a0Insulin<\/strong>: The hormone insulin is an important part of how the body uses energy from food. Overweight and obese people often have increased levels of insulin in their blood. This is because excess body fat leaves the cells increasingly resistant to the effects of insulin, so-called ‘insulin resistance’, and then the pancreas is forced to make more insulin to try and compensate (known as ‘hyperinsulinemia’). Over a period of time, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia can affect the levels of growth factors (like IGF-1), which are a green light signal for cells to divide. Both insulin and these growth factors encourage uncontrolled cell division and promote the development of cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nAvoid tobacco<\/strong>, including secondhand smoke. It’s more than just lung cancer. Cigarettes are linked to 14 other kinds of cancer, including liver, stomach, bladder, kidney, mouth and throat.<\/li>\nLimit alcohol<\/strong> to one drink a day for women, up to 2 for men. The ethanol in alcoholic drinks breaks down to acetaldehyde, a known carcinogen.<\/li>\nReduce stress<\/strong>:\u00a0It’s not just chronic stress that impacts our health, but also emotional trauma, depression, anxiety, fear and similar negative thoughts. Be positive, thankful, believe in yourself! < MORE ><\/button>\n\n\u00a0 Stress may not cause<\/em> cancer, but chronic stress triggers inflammation and reduces immune function, both of which increase cancer risk.<\/li>\n\u00a0 Stress hormones can inhibit<\/em> a process called anoikis, which we need since this kills diseased cells and prevents them from spreading. Chronic stress also increases the production of certain growth factors that can speed the development of cancerous tumors.<\/li>\n\u00a0 In patients who already have cancer, studies<\/a> show that stress is linked to tumor growth.<\/li>\n\u00a0 When cancer is in remission, stress hormones can alter the behavior of some neutrophils, potentially causing dormant cancer cells to reawaken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nGet a good night’s sleep<\/strong>. During sleep we build our immunity against infection and sickness, and our brains clear out harmful toxins.<\/li>\nProtect yourself from UV radiation<\/strong> in sunlight by using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, as the UV rays cause skin damage that could lead to cancer.<\/li>\nAvoid exposure to industrial and environmental toxins<\/strong> including asbestos, chemical dye, arsenic, radon, benzene, flame-retardants, weed-killers, pesticides, BPA, phthalates<\/a> (found in plastics and many home products) and more.<\/li>\nGet vaccinated<\/strong> and practice safe sex<\/strong> to avoid hepatitis viruses, HIV and the human papollomavirus (HPV). Get the hepatitis B vaccine (wards off the virus that causes liver cancer), and the HPV vaccine recommended for girls and boys ages 11 and 12.<\/li>\nKnow your family history.<\/strong> We are all at risk to get cancer regardless of our genes, but our family history can tell us which cancer has a higher probability of occurring. Screening tests are critical as they will catch cancer early. Colonoscopy finds polyps in the colon and rectum before they turn into cancer, mammograms catch breast cancer early, and the Pap test finds pre-cancerous cells in the cervix.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\tInteresting treatments that are not mainstream but may be worth trying?<\/h3>\n(These are not recommendations, just ideas for you to explore!)<\/p>\n\n\u00a0Hydrogen<\/strong><\/u>: Hydrogen regulates oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are triggers for cancer. Hydrogen may also suppress cancer by activating cancer immunity and by enhancing the survival of cancer-invaded tissues.< MORE ><\/button>\nWe produce hydrogen in our gut, but since unhealthy gut has become such a prevalent issue, many of us don’t make as much hydrogen as we need. Hydrogen is a gas that is not soluble in water. But you can purchase hydrogen molecule tablets that slowly release hydrogen in the stomach, or hydrogen generating water bottles!\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Proton Therapy<\/strong><\/u>: Proton therapy<\/a> is a radiation therapy that uses protons rather than x-rays to treat tumors, and has shown promise in treating several kinds of cancer with fewer side-effects.< MORE ><\/button>\nBut few studies have been done to compare proton radiation versus X-ray radiation, so it’s not yet clear whether proton therapy is more effective at prolonging lives. However, proton therapy has one major advantage: greater precision and it can attack the tumor but avoid healthy tissues and organs nearby.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Qigong<\/strong><\/u>: Qigong<\/a> (pronounced “chi gong”) was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, < MORE ><\/button>\nwith the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Master Chunyi Lin<\/a> talks about cancer being created from within, so we need to activate our inner body vibration and clear our energy blockages to help healing. This may sound strange, but check it out!\n<\/li>\n\u00a0IP-6<\/strong><\/u>: Phytate (inositol hexaphosphate, IP6) enhances our immune system and might help treat and prevent cancer by slowing down the production of cancer cells.< MORE ><\/button>\nIt also binds to certain minerals that may decrease the risk of colon cancer, reduces tumors in certain cancers, and suppresses metastasis. Foods containing the highest concentrations of inositol include fruits, beans, grains, and nuts, plus you can purchase IP-6 dietary supplements. And as an extra bonus, IP-6 is also an antioxidant.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0EBC-46<\/strong><\/u>: Keep an eye out for the compound designated EBC-46<\/a> and technically called tigilanol tiglate, which works by promoting a localized immune response against tumors.< MORE ><\/button>\nThe response breaks apart the tumor’s blood vessels and ultimately kills its cancerous cells. As of October 2022, Stanford researchers have discovered a “rapid and sustainable” way to synthetically produce this promising cancer-fighting compound. EBC-46 is now undergoing human clinical trials.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Dostarlimab<\/strong><\/u>: Dostarlimab<\/a> is a type of protein called an antibody, which blocks another protein (programmed cell death receptor-1, or PD-1<\/em>) that usually acts as a “brake” on the immune system.< MORE ><\/button>\nBlocking this protein is like releasing the brakes, so that the immune system can target tumor cells and kill them. In June 2022, 14 patients with rectal cancer were given Dostarlimab, and the cancer vanished in every single one of them. Dostarlimab is currently in phase II trial studies.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n“Cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle changes.” \u00a0 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov<\/a>]<\/p>\n“The Cancer Miracle isn’t a cure.

During sleep we build our immunity against infection and sickness, and our brains clear out harmful toxins.<\/li>\nProtect yourself from UV radiation<\/strong> in sunlight by using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, as the UV rays cause skin damage that could lead to cancer.<\/li>\nAvoid exposure to industrial and environmental toxins<\/strong> including asbestos, chemical dye, arsenic, radon, benzene, flame-retardants, weed-killers, pesticides, BPA, phthalates<\/a> (found in plastics and many home products) and more.<\/li>\nGet vaccinated<\/strong> and practice safe sex<\/strong> to avoid hepatitis viruses, HIV and the human papollomavirus (HPV). Get the hepatitis B vaccine (wards off the virus that causes liver cancer), and the HPV vaccine recommended for girls and boys ages 11 and 12.<\/li>\nKnow your family history.<\/strong> We are all at risk to get cancer regardless of our genes, but our family history can tell us which cancer has a higher probability of occurring. Screening tests are critical as they will catch cancer early. Colonoscopy finds polyps in the colon and rectum before they turn into cancer, mammograms catch breast cancer early, and the Pap test finds pre-cancerous cells in the cervix.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\tInteresting treatments that are not mainstream but may be worth trying?<\/h3>\n(These are not recommendations, just ideas for you to explore!)<\/p>\n\n\u00a0Hydrogen<\/strong><\/u>: Hydrogen regulates oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are triggers for cancer. Hydrogen may also suppress cancer by activating cancer immunity and by enhancing the survival of cancer-invaded tissues.< MORE ><\/button>\nWe produce hydrogen in our gut, but since unhealthy gut has become such a prevalent issue, many of us don’t make as much hydrogen as we need. Hydrogen is a gas that is not soluble in water. But you can purchase hydrogen molecule tablets that slowly release hydrogen in the stomach, or hydrogen generating water bottles!\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Proton Therapy<\/strong><\/u>: Proton therapy<\/a> is a radiation therapy that uses protons rather than x-rays to treat tumors, and has shown promise in treating several kinds of cancer with fewer side-effects.< MORE ><\/button>\nBut few studies have been done to compare proton radiation versus X-ray radiation, so it’s not yet clear whether proton therapy is more effective at prolonging lives. However, proton therapy has one major advantage: greater precision and it can attack the tumor but avoid healthy tissues and organs nearby.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Qigong<\/strong><\/u>: Qigong<\/a> (pronounced “chi gong”) was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, < MORE ><\/button>\nwith the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. Master Chunyi Lin<\/a> talks about cancer being created from within, so we need to activate our inner body vibration and clear our energy blockages to help healing. This may sound strange, but check it out!\n<\/li>\n\u00a0IP-6<\/strong><\/u>: Phytate (inositol hexaphosphate, IP6) enhances our immune system and might help treat and prevent cancer by slowing down the production of cancer cells.< MORE ><\/button>\nIt also binds to certain minerals that may decrease the risk of colon cancer, reduces tumors in certain cancers, and suppresses metastasis. Foods containing the highest concentrations of inositol include fruits, beans, grains, and nuts, plus you can purchase IP-6 dietary supplements. And as an extra bonus, IP-6 is also an antioxidant.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0EBC-46<\/strong><\/u>: Keep an eye out for the compound designated EBC-46<\/a> and technically called tigilanol tiglate, which works by promoting a localized immune response against tumors.< MORE ><\/button>\nThe response breaks apart the tumor’s blood vessels and ultimately kills its cancerous cells. As of October 2022, Stanford researchers have discovered a “rapid and sustainable” way to synthetically produce this promising cancer-fighting compound. EBC-46 is now undergoing human clinical trials.\n<\/li>\n\u00a0Dostarlimab<\/strong><\/u>: Dostarlimab<\/a> is a type of protein called an antibody, which blocks another protein (programmed cell death receptor-1, or PD-1<\/em>) that usually acts as a “brake” on the immune system.< MORE ><\/button>\nBlocking this protein is like releasing the brakes, so that the immune system can target tumor cells and kill them. In June 2022, 14 patients with rectal cancer were given Dostarlimab, and the cancer vanished in every single one of them. Dostarlimab is currently in phase II trial studies.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n“Cancer is a preventable disease that requires major lifestyle changes.” \u00a0 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov<\/a>]<\/p>\n“The Cancer Miracle isn’t a cure.

Fat cells (adipose tissue) change the environment inside the body by releasing chemicals that can make the cells near them act differently and potentially become cancerous. This process happens in various ways in different parts of the body, leading to different types of cancer developing.<\/p>\n
