It is thought that upwards of 70% of cancers are related to diet. And while medicines can help to treat cancer, it doesn’t get at the main cause. Functional medicine goes to the cause. The reason diet is so important in the treatment and prevention of cancer, is insulin. Insulin is considered a growth factor, and as such, it can lead to obesity, and it can fuel the growth of cancer cells through insulin resistance.
Key Takeaways:
- Insulin has a strong connection to cancer, so eating right to keep your insulin in check is very important.
- Too much insulin can actually promote the growth of cancer cells, which is not what you want.
- You can change your diet to starve out cancer, help your immune system, and more.
“The right diet is imperative in preventing cancer and during the healing process.”
