Modifiable Risk Factor

The majority of the studies done on the link between diet and cancer indicate that there is a relationship between high fat intake and an increased risk

defense system it can alter a cell's genes to make it become a cancerous cell.

Provision of adequate nutrition makes a major contribution towards improvement of cellular, clinical, biochemical and psychological status of the cancer patient in the face of the disease development and the side effects of diverse treatments. The principles of nutrition support include the following: Malnutrition persuades due to cancer and its treatment negatively affects the patient condition and complicates additional treatment of the disease. Malnutrition is not a mandatory response of the patient to cancer. A nutritional therapeutic program for patient requires examination of the factors bringing depletion in the patient. Every patient should have an early and periodic assessment of nutritional status. Nutrition therapy when specifies should be instituted early. The application and effectiveness of therapeutic programs must become element of general clinical process for inpatients and outpatients and general audit. The purposes of nutritional therapy are definitive and supportive. Nutritional status, anti-tumor treatment and growth of

While Season felt completely broken-down, she knew that she had no choice but to bring her background in nutrition to her own home. To build Kicker’s immunity Season implemented The Ketogenic Diet. The human body produces cancerous cells daily, so building a strong immunity is imperative when fighting off cancer cells and the harsh chemicals from treatment. The Ketogenic Diet is a new cancer treatment, which is free, with virtually no side effects. It can also be conjoined with other cancer treatments. The diet involves cutting carbohydrates, beginning with the worst carbohydrate of all, sugar (Johnson L, 2013). It is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which are then transported around the body. However, if there are little carbohydrates in the diet then the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are water molecules that are produced when the body is consuming very little food, which mimics fasting. Cancer is an obligate glucose metabolizer because it fuels on sugar. One’s normal cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt from saving glucose by using ketone bodies (Johnson S, 2014). This addressed that because cancer

While there are several biological factors that have the ability to lead to cancer, genetics is the most currently researched. A study done by Bharaj, Scorilas, Giai and

Cancer is the second most prominent cause of death in the United States. In the year 2016, it is predicted that 595,690 Americans will die from this disease.12 Caner is defined as an uncontrollable division of cells in the body that spreads into surrounding tissue. This rapid division of cells can occur almost anywhere in the human body. The cancer treatments currently available in modern medicine include a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Recently scientists have discovered that there could be another way to battle this epidemic. There proves to be a strong correlation between this rapid cell division that is seen in cancer patients with the metabolism of glucose. Glucose provides the energy needed for these cells to continue to rapidly divide and develop new cells. This could mean that nutrition may be a very valuable weapon in the war against cancer. 5 A high fat, low carbohydrate diet, also known as a ketogenic diet, has been successful in the clinical world for patients with uncontrollable seizures, but it may now pose as a viable resource to assist in cancer recovery. By restricting carbohydrates through diet, thus starving the cancer cell of glucose, we may be able to slow or terminate the spread of these cancer cells. The objective of this paper will be to give a better insight on how a Ketogenic diet may aid in delaying or terminating cancer.

According to the article “Diet and Physical Activity: What’s the Cancer Connection?” by The American Cancer Society, a poor diet and inactivity can increase your risks of getting cancer. A research shows that among all cancers diagnosed in the U.S, about 20 percent of them are related to body fatness, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition. These causes can be prevented by developing a healthy lifestyle. Managing your weight and having a well-balanced diet are very beneficial for reducing cancer risk, even they can help with cancer survivors. When choosing a meal, beware of the portion size and try to limit the intake of food high in calories, fat, and added sugar. In addition, processed meat, red meat, and refined

Cancer is a disease that has been an ongoing controversy on what can help to prevent getting it. Cancer is when cells are dividing at an uncontrollable rate. Cancer is developed when cancer cells go into lymph nodes and also when they take over the blood vessels, lymph nodes are when there is swelling the the lymphatic system. With the cancer there is swelling which is called a tumor. Tumor is when there is swelling in the part of the body that is not caused by inflammation, but is caused by a large group of abnormal tissue cells. There are two different types of tumors. There is the malignant tumor which is a tumor that can be cancerous which is when the cells divide at a faster rate, and can also take over tissues. The other tumor is a benign tumor, which is a noncancerous and could be removed, and it cannot take over any near tissues. Genes play a big role in cancer itself. Cancer happens when a gene is mutated and changed, and when the gene becomes mutated it becomes abnormal. Because it is not a normal cell, its a mutated cell which makes it more cancerous. One gene that is a cancerous cell is a proto-oncogene which is a normal gene, but if it is mutated or changed it becomes a oncogene which is then now a cancerous cell and then divides into multiple different cancerous cells that can affect one 's body. The proto-oncogene can escalate if mutated into a cancerous cell. Which

Such findings, all of which relate to hormone-based life events, suggest that breast cancer is somehow affected by prolonged exposure to female sex hormones, such as estrogen. Women with a history of breast cancer in the family are also at greater risk. About five percent of all breast cancers have been attributed to a mutated, or structurally altered, gene known as BRCA1. Mutations in a second gene, BRCA2, contribute significantly to the development of breast cancer in Jewish women. Alcohol, high levels of fat in the diet, and not exercising regularly have also been linked to increased risk for breast cancer (Garber).

This means that a diet that eliminates sugar and other carbs is effective in fighting and preventing cancer. While the regular cells in the body use fat for energy, cancer cells cannot thrive on fat. As a result, when a person is put on the ketogeic diet, cancer cells starve and eventually die.

Some of most exciting research in connection with the ketogenic diet relate to its ability to cure some types of cancer. Well- known is the case of an elderly lady who, with the help of the ketogenic diet, completely cured brain tumor. She claims that she managed to heal cancer ONLY with the help of the prescribed diet therapy. Some experts argue that the

Abstract: With obesity and cancer being a global issue, this review will be focused on linking genistein’s ability to simultaneously treat both related diseases. Extensive studies have been done on genistein as a therapy for diabetes and obesity, but not enough has been researched in its effect on obesity-associated cancer. Obesity-linked cancer arises at a cellular level due to adipocytes’ ability to release hormones and growth factors (adipocytokines) inducing carcinogenesis. Varying levels of adipocytokines, including leptin and adiponectin, can promote the development of metabolic disorders such as cancer and diabetes. Therefore the most effective treatment is to target the molecular pathways that link obesity to cancer. Genistein is known for its anti-cancer effects and inhibition of adipocyte enlargement and differentiation. This can serve as a targeted therapeutic drug that can concurrently treat cancer and obesity. This review will cover four parts to support the promising effects of genistein: obesity and cancer, dietary anticancer agents, clinical significance, and future directions.

There are lost of ways to prevent cancer or try to prevent it. One of these is reducing your fat intake. One study shows that the result of this is that the level of estrodiol, the potent form of estrogen decreases. Another way to fight breast cancer is to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Many fruits and vegetables contain chemicals that may be cancer fighters. A concentrated form of limonene, a substance found in citrus skins, has been found to shrink breast cancer in animals. Some studies have shown that if you breast-fed for more than four months it lowers your risk of the cancer. In a recent study women who have underwent breast reduction have a low risk of getting breast cancer by forty percent.
