“Curcumin inhibits multiple signaling pathways, which play key roles in cancer development and progression. There have been larger, randomized studies showing curcumin works in conjunction with other chemo drugs to more effectively kill cancer cells including chemo-resistant cancer.”

“This translated to fewer patients having toxic-sides effects on the immune system including myelosuppression (a serious side effect of chemo where there is a decrease in blood cells).”

“Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a treatment for certain types of cancer, often involves transplanting stem cells between donors and recipients who are of different ages.”

“I also discuss the brain benefits of lactate (it's not just a metabolic byproduct), the cancer-preventing effects of exercise, squeezing more vigorous activity into your day, and many other topics I know you'll find interesting!”

“Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) promotes the growth of existing cancer cells and contributes to aging, but also has some beneficial functions. IGF-1 is required for the growth and repair of muscles and is also necessary for producing new brain cells.”

“Chronic inflammation creates reactive oxygen species that damage DNA, cellular proteins, and lipids. This type of inflammation plays a key role in the development of many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.”

“In more than 25,000 adults who reported no structured exercise, several short daily VILPA bouts were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. A later wearable analysis found that vigorous activity was especially time-efficient, although the modeled relationship varied by health outcome.”

“Visceral fat is stored deep in the abdomen around internal organs and is closely associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.”
