Best Diet For Cancer |Intermittent Fasting | Ketogenic diet
Extensive research reveals that cancer cells need food in the form of glucose energy every single minute of the day; if they do not have access to their food minute by minute they lose their vitality, and many of them will eventually die.
Undergoing a fasting-mimicking diet, you are able to let the body use sophisticated mechanisms able to identify the bad but not the good cells in a natural way.
One of the benefits of intermittent fasting is to normalize insulin within the body – and insulin is a powerful promoter of cancer cell growth. He also points out that fasting reduces inflammation and oxidative stress – two major contributing factors to cancer growth
Research also shows that fasting increases tumor-killing T-cells and helps strip away the protective covering from cancer cells; that enables the immune system to recognize cancer cells and target them for destruction.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology at Boston College, who has studied cancer cells extensively, has presented proof that some cancer cells can be destroyed with five to 10 day intermittent fasting when consuming a ketogenic diet
A ketogenic diet produces ketones in the body instead of glucose. Ketones are the breakdown product of fatty acids as an alternative energy source -- nutrients that normal cells can make good use of, but cancer cells are unable to use. Cancer cells can only thrive on glucose energy, whereas normal cells function fine with either glucose or ketones.
NOTE:Patients who are severely nutritionally depleted should not engage in any type of fasting unless medically supervised
