3 Things That Cancer Love

Cancer is a disease resulting to the uncontrolled replication of cells in your body.

Today, we will discuss the 3 things cancer lovers in your body to thrive:

Cancer Lovers Acidity

In our recent blogs, we discussed pH levels and mentioned that between the scale of 1-6, your body is highly acidic.

For cancer, the perfect pH for its thriving is 5.5.

New researched conducted by Dr Johanna Michi under the university of oxford discovered how cancer cells manage to adapt under high acidity.

The study shows that chronic extracellular acidity triggers the degradation of the membrane transporter anion exchanger 2. Eliminating an important protein for loading acid into the cells leads to an increased intracellular pH, comparable to levels in normal cells. This acts as an important adaptation mechanism, and allows the cells to maintain their intracellular pH at physiological levels.”

That said, cancer cells, despite its alkalinity, has managed to adapt to acidic environments.

Cancer Loves no Oxygen

Let me inform you something about hypoxia.

Hypoxia is a condition where your body is starved from oxygen. Oxygen in the human body is regulated through a sensing process.

Research indicates, “When cancer cells hijack the process, they can fuel their own growth, and gain the ability to metastasize and resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

That means cancer takes all the oxygen for itself creating a reduced body-cell oxygen level.

Cancer loves Sugar

There is a saying, “Sugar is responsible for cancer development.”

Glucose is the fuel that our cells use to power it’s development.

Cancer cells are rapid-growing cells that require high levels of energy. To achieve high energy levels, they consume most of our glucose purposed for our body cells.

That said, cancer will thrive well in high glucose body.

From today’s lessons, we learn that acidic foods, low-oxygen levels in your body, and high sugar intake can increase your chances of getting promoting cancer in your body.
