Reduce Cancer Risk Up To 60%!
When it comes to reducing your risk of cancer, every little (or BIG) bit helps.
Like exercise, which can lower your risk of certain cancers by 40-50 percent.
Or maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, which can lower your risk up to 67 percent.
When you string together enough of these cancer-risk reducers, you’ll have a lifestyle that puts the odds firmly in your favor.
And today, I want to tell you about another powerful way to reduce your risk of some cancers by MORE than 60 percent.
While an apple a day may keep the doctor away, a banana could keep cancer away.
But not just any kind of banana… it has to be a slightly green, unripe one.
For this study, researchers recruited volunteers with a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome – a syndrome that increases the risk of certain cancers.
They found that in these high-risk individuals, a daily dose of resistant starch reduced the risk of some cancers up to 60 percent.
The most obvious benefits were seen in the upper part of the gut, specifically reducing the risk of gastric, pancreatic, biliary tract, esophageal, and small intestine cancers.
Where do the unripe bananas come in?
The amount of starch used was the equivalent of eating one green banana per day for two years.
Resistant starch is starch that doesn’t get digested in your small intestine. Instead, it ferments in your large intestine where if feeds your beneficial gut bacteria.
Resistant starch is known for boosting digestion, preventing diseases, and promoting weight loss.
If slightly unripe bananas aren’t your thing, you can also get resistant starch from cereal, beans, and oats.
Whatever source they come from, they’re a beneficial part of any diet—and a powerhouse against cancer.
P.S. Bananas aren’t the only fruit that helps fight off gut cancer. Researchers say a metabolite found in THIS ruby red fruit targets colon cancer cells.
