7. Fasting

Try fasting intermittently as part of your new lifestyle. Fasting will help your body burn fat instead of sugar as its source of fuel. Your body can burn either sugar/carbs or fat.

Cancer cells thrive on carbs/sugar, so by having your body use its fat instead, you can reduce the risk of your body developing cancer and feeding on sugar.

Intermittent fasting allows timing your meals to allow for periods when your body takes a rest from digesting food and lives off food it has stored for later.

A minimum fast is 16 hours, so fasting isn’t as difficult as it seems. Plan for at least one day a week when you eat only between, say, 10AM and 6PM. Not nearly as difficult as it sounds and doing this will reduce your cancer risk.
