6 Daily Habits to Lower Cancer Risk

Cancer does not have one single cause. There is not just one reason for a cancer diagnosis. H pylori can aggravate the stomach lining. Epstein-Barr virus has been correlated with lymphoma.Glyphosates, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals can create oxidative stress and DNA damage. Not everyone who is exposed gets cancer. What happens is the accumulation of multiple things that can turn oncogenes on and aggravate growth. I am excited to share daily tools you can use to lower risk.We dive into micro habits that build consistency. Diaphragmatic breathing while brushing your teeth. Morning light supports circadian rhythm, melatonin, serotonin, and immune function.The Power Six lymph drainage technique I learned after the Metabolic Health Conference with Dr. Perry Nicholsonl; contrast showers, dry skin brushing, mini rebounder, movement every hour, lymphatic massage.

Dehydrated vegetable powders for simple phytonutrients.Walk for ten minutes after meals to activate GLUT4 and reduce post-meal glucose. Aim for a hemoglobin A1C around 5.0. Build lean muscle with resistance training two to three times per week to improve insulin sensitivity.Prioritize sleep. Reduce blue light in the evening. Use low color temperature bulbs. Blackout the room. Support the hypothalamus and the master clock.
