Smoking Gun Colon Cancer Trigger REVEALED
With colon cancer cases on the rise among younger people, scientists are asking the big question…
WHY?
Well, just a few weeks ago, I told you about one cause…
If you missed that issue, you can CLICK HERE to learn how a disrupted circadian rhythm can speed the progression of colon cancer.
Today, there’s another smoking gun, and this time it’s pointed at a different lifestyle problem that could be causing colon cancer to grow and spread at alarming rates.
Chronic stress is already considered a risk factor for colorectal cancer.
Now, researchers can point to a reason why.
For this study, researchers wiped out the healthy gut bacteria of two groups of mice, setting up conditions for a weakened immune response.
Then, one group was placed under chronic stress while the other group wasn’t.
Ultimately, the scientists determined that chronic stress had two effects:
- It reduces beneficial gut bacteria that are essential for your body’s immune response against cancer.
- It increases the growth of colorectal tumors.
However, tumor formation was reduced in mice supplemented with Lactobacillus while experiencing chronic stress. That’s because the Lactobacillus enhanced the function of CD8+ T cells, which boost your immune system’s ability to fight cancer.
So, the bottom line is that chronic stress can increase colon cancer risk because of its harmful impact on your gut microbiome.
Scientists are (finally) suggesting that probiotics could be used to help treat patients with stress-related colorectal cancer.
Imagine that… a probiotic being recommended to help treat cancer!
For even stronger cancer-fighting protection, make it a two-pronged attack:
- Take steps to reduce your chronic stress levels.
- Improve your gut microbiome through lifestyle changes like eating healthy, getting regular exercise, and taking beneficial probiotics.
Don’t let stress steal your joy and put your health at risk. Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or massage.
P.S. “Forbidden” drink SLASHES colon cancer risk 32%.
