Activate Your Body’s MOST Powerful Cancer Bodyguard
About one in two men and one in three women will develop cancer in their lifetime.
Those are NOT good odds.
I’m not sharing them to scare you but rather to encourage you to take your risks seriously—and to take active steps to lower your odds.
Because you’re either preventing cancerous changes in your body—or you’re promoting them.
One major step toward prevention is to support one of your body’s greatest cancer fighters.
It’s such a powerful tumor suppressor that it’s been called the “guardian of the genome.” Discover SIX practical ways to activate this cancer bodyguard.
Your body contains a powerful tumor-suppressing gene called p53, whose job is to stop cancer in its tracks.
It can prevent (or treat) cancer by inhibiting the formation and progression of tumors. When DNA damage occurs, p53 jumps into action.
It triggers the cell to repair the damage or to undergo programmed cell death (also known as apoptosis). Apoptosis is a last-ditch effort to get rid of the cancerous cell and prevent its progression.
However, the protein Mouse Double Minute 2 (MDM2) inactivates its function, which can lead to cancer.
The good news is that studies have identified various compounds that increase p53 activity and inhibit MDM2.
Following are a few of the top plant-derived molecules that can help restore this cancer-fighter to its full potential…
- Curcumin, an extract from the spice turmeric
- Resveratrol, a compound found in grape skins
- Quercetin, a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables
- Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a polyphenol found in green tea
- Genistein, a molecule found in soybeans
- Pterostilbene, a molecule found in blueberries
Since oxidation and free radical stress can reduce p53 activity, supplements that contain antioxidants may protect p53 from oxidative damage. Two of these include vitamin C and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
With one in two men and one in three women developing cancer in their lifetimes, your odds of avoiding cancer don’t look great on paper. But the moment you commit to prevention, they plummet.
Stop cancer in its tracks by activating your own “guardian of the genome” starting TODAY.
