Exercise is part of a healthy life.

In contrast, a sedentary lifestyle increases your risk of cancer.

Cancer and Diet Podcast

Good Cancer Diets

There is enough evidence to say that these diets can help reduce our risk of getting cancer.

1. Ketogenic (high fat diet that works on keto genesis rather than carbohydrate metabolism)
2. Mediterranean Style Diet (see Episode 1 The Health Benefits of the Med Style Diet.)
3. Intermittent Fasting

You can combine intermittent fasting with either the ketogenic or Med Style Diets.
