“Exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health issues, including increased cholesterol levels, changes in liver function, and impaired immune function. Some studies suggest a potential association between PFAS exposure and increased risks of certain cancers and reproductive problems Read full publication.”

“A recent study found that smoke exposure is linked to changes in DNA methylation at 133 gene sites involved in immune regulation, cancer, and inflammation. Researchers compared blood samples from 31 people exposed to fire smoke with 29 non-exposed people who were matched by age and sex.”

“A new study found that people that biked around 30 miles per week because they drove a car to work had a 41% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 45% lower incidence of cancer and 46% lower heart disease risk over a 5-year period.”

“Effects of exercise on circulating tumor cells among patients with resected stage I-III colon cancer - Both low and high-dose exercise may decrease circulating tumor cells in colon cancer patients.”

“When these processes are compromised due to insignificant magnesium, cancer-causing mutations can develop. Magnesium's role in DNA repair and its antioxidant properties suggest a protective effect against age-related diseases, including cancer.”

“Obesity and chronic inflammation are associated with higher risk for several cancers, and insulin, sex-hormone, and immune pathways provide plausible links. These lines of evidence do not prove that sugar directly causes a specific cancer or that removing one food prevents cancer.”

“Across 19 prospective publications involving more than 1.1 million people, higher dietary magnesium intake was associated with 13% lower all-cause mortality and 20% lower cancer mortality.”

“Natural killer cells are critical components of the body's immune response, serving as the first line of defense against cancer cells, microbes, and other potential threats. A single night of poor sleep can impair natural killer cells' activity by as much as 70 percent.”

“Circadian rhythms play key roles in metabolic health and ultimately influence body weight, performance, and susceptibility to diseases like diabetes and cancer. Aligning food intake with circadian rhythms can improve many aspects of metabolic health.”
