Top 10 Things to Do to Help Prevent Cancer

A current thread on Twitter (X) says that a scientist named Thomas Seyfried has spent over 30 years to researching cancer, and feels it is preventable. Seyfried theorizes that cancer is caused by lifestyle factors, not genetics.

We Add 6 Important Things to Do to Seyfried’s List

The thread proposes 7 things to do to prevent cancer — but a number of the topics are redundant and can be summarized as: eat right and exercise, sleep good, and reduce stress. We propose 3 more important things to do.

Disclaimer: nobody definitively knows what causes cancer — so the advice on this list is simply logical advice to follow; there are no guarantees. In any case here’s the list:

1. Eat Right

The twitter thread has several redundant tweets that essentially say, Eat Right. Specifically:

1a. Avoid Processed Foods to Maintain Blood Sugar Levels

Seyfried feels glucose and insulin spikes can feed cancer cells, and emphasizes the importance of keeping blood sugar levels stable by avoiding:

• Sugar
• Refined carbohydrates
• Processed foods

Reducing or eliminating these from your diet will reduce chronic inflammation and decrease the risk of cancer development.

1b. Follow a Ketogenic Diet

Seyfried advocates for a Ketogenic diet — which shifts the body from using glucose as its primary energy source to burning fat and ketones.

In short, the Ketogenic diet advised you to eat foods that are:

• High-fat
• Moderate-protein
• Low-carbohydrate

Seyfried’s theory is that cancer cells  rely primarily on glucose for growth, therefore limiting glucose will starve cancer cells and support metabolic health.

Foods that you will consume on a Ketogenic Diet are:

• Fish (and other ‘lean’ proteins)
• Nuts
• Olive oil
• Avocados
• Low-carbohydrate vegetables

1c. Fast

Seyfried advocates both intermittent fasting and longer-term fasting. The anti-cancer theory is that fasting reduces blood glucose and enhances ketone production, which cancer cells cannot efficiently use. This helps inhibit their growth and promotes autophagy — the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells.

2. Exercise

Seyfried emphasizes that regular exercise is vital for preventing cancer by:

• Lowering blood sugar levels and inflammation,
• Improving mitochondrial function, and
• Supporting autophagy to clear damaged cells.

The tweet lists walking, swimming, and strength training as example exercises, and states “moving your body is the daily goal.”

We’ll go one step further and advise:

• Run 3 miles twice a week — there is nothing better than a 3-mile run. Twice a week is a good schedule. Running 3 or miles INVIGORATES the body; gets blood flowing. It uses up glycogen, forcing the body to produce more — which gives you a feeling like your body is rejuvenated — that feeling lasts for a day and a half after the run.
• Try to get 10,000 steps a day — everyone’s cell phone has a Health app on it that measures the steps you do each day. Keep abreast of how many steps you are doing. Try to do at least 5,000 steps a day; the ideal is 10,000 steps.
• Do pushups — don’t forget to keep your body in tip-top shape strength wise with regular pushups.
• Do Legups — lie down every once in a while and put your feet up to the ceiling. It is great on your back after a day of sitting at the computer, and can also reduce stress.

Other great exercises are basketball, tennis, stickball, softball, etc.

3. Sleep Good

The anti-cancer theory on sleep is that it is when our body recovers and heals itself, especially our mitochondria. The better sleep we get, the better our body is able to do this, which prevents metabolic damage and cancer.

How to Improve Your Sleep If You are Having Trouble

The tweet thread references a Dr. Eric Berg, who proposes these tips to help you sleep:

1. If you are having difficulty falling asleep because you are thinking too much — take Vitamin B1
2. Eat berries as part of your desert after dinner, especially if you’ve been on a long-term low-carbohydrate diet.
3. Drink Kefir. Kefir is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt that is made from kefir grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. Kefir is prepared by inoculating the milk of cows, goats, or sheep with kefir grains. It has proteins that increase the hormone Melatonin, which helps you fall asleep. Kefir also is loaded with calcium and magnesium that will relax you before sleep. Kefir can be bought as a drink in the milk isle of your supermarket.
4. Add Sea Salt to your diet — Most important of Dr. Berg’s tips on getting good sleep is to make sure you have enough sodium from Sea Salt in the evening. Berg theorizes this will greatly lower your stress hormones, and help you sleep.

We would add that Exercise improves your sleep — especially that 3-mile run mentioned above.

4. Reduce Stress

Chronic stress damages your mitochondria and increases inflammation in the body. These are considered two major drivers for causing cancer. Reducing stress can look like:

• Meditate and do breathwork
• Prioritize rest and recovery
• Take natural supplements (L-theanine, Cordyceps mushrooms, etc)
• Simply take timeout each day to relax and think about things.

Warren Buffett — one of the richest men in the world and who is now in his late 90’s — regularly talks about how he takes breaks during the day to think about things.

Alex Jones — a heroic journalist who is under constant pressure taking on the globalists — also takes time to relax and think about the world around him.
