Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

So hands down, fasting is your absolute best strategy for cancer.

Now the diet for preventing cancer should be different than the diet you would be on if you got cancer and I will discuss this in this video.

Now before I begin, I want to let you know that nothing in this video is intended to replace your medical care.

In fact, I'm not going to make any claims that any of this information is going to prevent, cure your cancer.

So I'm going to talk about all the mechanisms of how fasting can greatly help you.

And I want to show you something that could greatly benefit a person if for some reason fasting is not an option.

Let's say for example, they're too thin, they're too frail, and they need some other option.

I'm going to show you what I would recommend a little later in this video.

Fasting is one of the oldest therapies known to man. Apocrates has talked about the massive benefits of fasting long ago, historically nearly every single religion practices fasting.

So this is dive right in. It's very, very important to understand some differences between normal cells and cancer cells.

Cancer cells originate from normal cells.

What happens is this a certain thing in your cell becomes damaged and that thing is called the mitochondria.

The mitochondria is the energy factory of the cell. It produces all the energy for your body.

And so after the mitochondria become damaged, the body through a adaptive survival mechanism starts to switch over its metabolism to a different way of burning fuel.

It starts to ferment sugar. And when it starts to ferment sugar and turn into a cancer cell, it starts to become extremely hungry for glucose.

Now, it also eats other things which we're going to talk about, but sugar provides the most fuel for a cancer cell.

In the process of a normal cell becoming a cancer cell, it also loses its mortality. In other words, it becomes immortal.

So your normal cells actually have a limit. They can only live so long, but the cancer cells live forever.

Cancer cells grow faster than normal cells and they basically take over the body.

So the first mechanism of fasting in relationship to a cancer cell is that fasting helps to starve off the fuel.
