Summary

Today, I want to cover important things you can try to lower your risk for cancer.

Cancer originates from normal cells. When something harmful happens in your environment, it can potentially create destruction to the mitochondria in your cells.

Damaged mitochondria can no longer provide energy to a cell, and the cell is forced to use a different energy source. Now, we’re looking at a cancer cell.

When mitochondria become damaged, and a cell turns into a cancer cell, the cancer cell becomes immortal. It also produces inflammation, and it seems to grow and spread into areas of inflammation.

Mitochondria have many more functions than just producing energy. In my opinion, to reduce your risk of cancer, you need to reduce your risk of developing damage to the mitochondria.

Natural ways to decrease your cancer risk:

1. Do intermittent and periodic prolonged fasting

2. Exercise

3. Get quality sleep

4. Socialize

0:00.0	Today we're going to talk about four really, really powerful, important things to help you lower your risk for cancer.
0:06.4	But I think the most important thing is to understand what cancer is and how it became cancer in the first place. Cancer originates from normal
0:16.8	cells. So in other words, they're not just something like a virus that just comes from
0:22.2	something external. It comes from within. In other
0:25.9	words there's something that happens in your environment that creates destruction
0:30.0	of a part of your cell called the mitochondria.
0:33.2	And because the mitochondria has one really important function of producing energy for your body,
0:39.2	when that cell no longer gets the energy, it has a backup program. So cancer really is an
0:45.5	adaptation to a different energy source because the mitochondria is no longer
0:51.4	providing energy.
0:53.4	And all this information I'm going to share with you right now comes from a fascinating
0:57.2	paper and I'm going to put that information below in the description.
1:00.8	So normally the cell uses this type of metabolism to get its energy.
1:05.0	When it converts over into a cancer, it uses this type of energy right here.
1:10.0	It's not important to know the technical names. All you need to know is that cancer's metabolism is a different type of metabolism. And I will mention one thing, which is the Warburgburg effect which allows cancer to get its fuel from a different thing.
1:26.6	The actual source of mitochondria in our cells really originated from a bacteria. In other words, the mitochondria has all the properties of some bacteria that long ago came into ourselves and somehow there is an agreement that it would work together and
1:45.3	it would provide a certain function in the cell which is producing energy and many other things
1:50.1	and the cell would provide a home to the monocondria and apparently one of the ancient programs in the mitochondria was this type of energy system.
2:00.0	When there seems to be a lot of stress or damage within this system, it converts over to that system.
2:06.4	We call that cancer.
2:07.6	But the mitochondria is not just about producing energy.
2:10.9	It also helps you balance and metabolize iron and calcium and make
