Activate Your Body’s Cancer-Fighting WEAPON
How to activate it for good
Yesterday, I told you about 8 key lifestyle habits to avoid to reduce your risk of developing cancer.
Today, I’m going to tell you about a simple way to activate your body’s own cancer-fighting weapon.
This is a simple, powerful way to suppress tumor growth and help your body fight off cancer cells.
And it’s absolutely free.
There are plenty of good reasons to exercise, but if you need another good one, try this:
It could lower your risk of cancer.
Researchers studied obese prostate cancer patients who participated in 12 weeks of exercise. They took blood samples from before they stared exercising — and then they collected samples of blood after 12 weeks of exercise — and applied them directly to living prostate cancer cells.
The post-workout blood significantly suppressed the growth of the prostate cancer cells.
The reason?
Turns out there was a significant increase in the blood levels of anti-cancer myokines in the post-workout blood.
You can think of these proteins as your body’s cancer alarm system.
That’s because they don’t directly fight cancer cells. Instead, they signal your immune cells (your T cells) to attack and kill cancer cells.
In this way, the myokines released during exercise are able to slow — or even stop — cancer growth.
And what all that science boils down to is this:
Exercise helps create an anti-cancer environment in your body.
This study only tested the impact of exercise on prostate cancer, but the researchers say that the release of myokines should have the same protective effect against ALL forms of cancer.
Like I said, there are plenty of good reasons to exercise… but making your body “inhospitable” to cancer?
That one takes the cake.
