Study Reveals Diet Helps Slow Tumor Growth

No person should have the luxury of reaching the point where they already have a developed tumor, before they must prevent any disease through diet and lifestyle changes, but science has new studies

By now, people should already understand that any disease can be prevented, treated and even reversed if we change our diet and our lifestyle, but for this we must greatly reduce the consumption of sugars and increase fiber intake, lower sodium, increase potassium, avoid soda, drink more water, manage stress and much more. This time we bring you a study that has revealed what is the diet that helps slow the growth of tumors so that you can start applying it to the voice of now.

In the case of tumors, we are already talking about a more dangerous disease compared to a common cold, therefore, diet would be the best option to prevent it, but once it has been established, it is important to combine both good nutrition and medications prescribed by the specialist, since one alone cannot act fully effectively without the other.

What is one of the factors that increases the risks in this disease? Obesity, which is closely related to diabetes, and what does diabetes come from? Of the lack of control in the food, therefore, it is necessary to learn to eat from the beginning, because obesity increases the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women by up to 50%.

once the patient has developed cancer, the role of diet in the course of the disease is controversial. To date, no clinical trials have been able to demonstrate the antitumor effect of diet in cancer patients. In these, surgery, chemotherapy and other pharmacological treatments, and radiotherapy will be the basis of treatment, Dr. Paula Jiménez Fonseca, spokesperson for the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) and HUCA medical oncologist ( Central University Hospital of Asturias).

Now, a new study in ‘Nature’ reveals a diet with which you can slow the growth of tumors, and for this you have to ‘kill’ them from hunger and thirst. In this study, the effects of a diet that is limited in calories and a ketogenic diet were examined, with which it was shown that both reduce the amount of sugar available for tumors, since the preferred food of cancer cells is glucose

In this way, fats are reduced and there is a slowdown in tumor growth. But despite the fact that the diet is excellent in these cases, it is never advisable for the patient to act alone, the only one who can guide him well is his doctor, therefore you have to work closely with him.

There is a lot of evidence that diet can affect how quickly cancer progresses, but this is not a cure "Matthew Vander Heiden, director of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT and lead author of the study.

While the findings are provocative, more studies are needed and patients should discuss with their doctor what type of diet is best for their cancer, he added.
