How Fasting and Nutritechnology are revolutionizing the prevention and treatment of cancer
Starve the cancer, feed the patient. The central role of the Longevity Diet and fasting mimicking diet and their impact on metabolism to help prevent and treat many types of cancer, even in advanced stages. Despite advances in science, almost one in two people today are at risk of getting cancer. How come we have been able to reduce the risk of life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular and many others, but have not been as successful against cancer? Because tumors are complex diseases, never identical to each other, made up of different cells that often do not follow a predictable course. However, they have one thing in common: they are made of “confused and rebellious” cells, which feed on much more than healthy ones, especially when attacked by standard therapies. Valter Longo explains the data of decades of basic and clinical research, which indicate that a controlled use of the fasting-mimicking diet and the Longevity Diet can help prevent, but also defeat, cancer pathologies, removing nourishment only from diseased cells. “Fasting cancer” opens up a new way, in which the patient too can become an active protagonist in his own treatment and healing.
