Day 20 Press Up Challenge | Sugar And Cancer Link

6/12/2020

The link between Sugar and Cancer

The body converts starchy carbohydrates & highly processed foods into sugar, which raises insulin levels. Too much insulin leads to obesity and other metabolic health issues including cancer. Insulin also supports the growth of cancer cells as it acts as a growth factor in the body (Insulin Growth Factor IGF 1). https://phenq.com/blog/what-is-igf-1/

What we eat and how often we eat affects cancer growth.

My husband, Bill, has had cancer since 2013 and has had several operations for different cancers during this time. He made a conscious decision to change his eating habits 6 months ago following the success I had and also the effect the current virus had on people with metabolic health issues. He has ample to eat, he is hardly hungry and he enjoys what he eats. He has lost 3 stones in weight/fat, dropped 2 dress sizes, improved his immunity and feels quite well. 

Once again, the importance of following a low carbohydrate real food diet is emphasised. This way of eating helps you to eat less frequently and enables you to reverse most metabolic issues you may have, such as excess weight/fat, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart health, allergies, inflammation, poor immunity and more.

Dr Jason Fung is highly regarded in his studies on Intermittent Fasting and Metabolic Health. His interview on the sugar/cancer link is found at: https://youtu.be/UgUdBEXqE8E

Can a Ketogenic diet help fight cancer?

27/12/2019

Picture
Nearly all cancer cells share one common trait: they feed off carbs or blood sugar in order to grow and multiply.

When you eat a ketogenic diet, some of the standard metabolic processes are altered and your blood sugar levels go way down.

Basically, this is claimed to "starve" the cancer cells of fuel.

Cancer and Sugar

Cancer loves sugar!

Another reason to follow the Keto way.

It certainly makes me wonder whether following governments’ so-called healthy dietary guidelines incorporating Low fat, high carb diets is really the right thing to do.
​
Cancer cells thrive on sugar/glucose. They don’t like fat. The ketogenic diet is a healthy fat low carb diet that could help starve cancer cells. I wonder why it’s not recommended more often.

Just like our healthy cells, malignant cancer cells need energy to survive. Dr. Sophia Lunt explains how she intends to cut off cancer cells' survival potent...

Can Keto Fight Off Cancer?

The evidence is slowly coming out about how sugar adversely affects metabolic health, which includes cancer.

Here are the links to Dr Christy Kesslering's talk on cancer and sugar:
Part 1: https://youtu.be/GD10WiMc2L4
Part 2: https://youtu.be/rDuqqPrhfc4
​

I've often wondered, and I'm sure most people do as well, why the incidence of cancer has skyrocketed over the past couple of decades. I can't help linking it to the governments' recommended dietary guidelines of eating a low fat, high carb diet. I think most of us know that low-fat diets contain sugar to improve the taste. This way of eating for the past 30-40 years seems to have made more people sick than healthy. It's time to have a serious look at reducing carbohydrates (sugars & starches) including fruits as fruits contain fructose, which is processed differently and increasing healthy fat intake, which does NOT include processed oils like vegetable oils, rapeseed oil, soya oil, margarine, etc.

The difference between cancer cells and healthy cells

18/11/2019

I watch Dr Annette Bosworth's (Dr Boz) weekly educational video every week.

This week she explains the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells. It truly is very educational and may need to be watched a few times for the information to sink in.

She also tells how the ketogenic diet has helped her now 75-year old mother battle CLL (cancer).

    I've been teaching yoga since 2009 and always had an interest in healthy living.

    Having recently been diagnosed with elevated cholesterol, I went in search for ways to lower it. In my search, I came across the Ketogenic diet.
