Most cancer doesn’t just “run in your family.”
It is often triggered by daily choices that take you minimal effort to change.
Here are 7 powerful things you can do right now to lower your risk: 🧵

The conventional model of cancer says it starts with random DNA mutations.
But decades of research tell a different story:
Most cancers begin with damaged mitochondria, the tiny energy factories in your cells.
But decades of research tell a different story:
Most cancers begin with damaged mitochondria, the tiny energy factories in your cells.
When mitochondria are damaged, cells switch to a backup energy system: fermentation of sugar.
This fuels abnormal growth and makes cancer cells sugar-hungry.
That is why PET scans look for high glucose activity. Cancer lights up because it thrives on sugar.

So if cancer starts with mitochondrial damage…
Then preventing cancer means:
• Protecting mitochondria
• Supporting the immune system
• Reducing inflammation
• Limiting sugar
Here are 7 key ways to do exactly that:

Here are 7 key ways to do exactly that:
1/ Vitamin D
Vitamin D is the master regulator of immunity.
Low levels are tied to higher risks of breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
Keep blood levels between 60–80 ng/ml to give your immune system the best defense.

2/ Intermittent fasting
Fasting activates autophagy, your body’s built-in system for recycling damaged cells and mitochondria.
Because many cancers begin with faulty mitochondria, fasting helps clear out trouble before it starts.

3/ Avoid excess radiation
Frequent CT scans and X-rays expose you to ionizing radiation, which can damage DNA and mitochondria.
When possible:
• Ask if MRI or ultrasound can be used instead
• Use a thyroid shield during X-rays
Simple steps that protect long-term health.

4/ Broccoli sprouts
These contain 20–50 times more sulforaphane than mature broccoli.
Sulforaphane supercharges your liver’s detox pathways, neutralizing carcinogens before they harm cells.
Add them to salads or smoothies.

5/ Ketogenic diet
Cancer cells depend on sugar to survive. High blood sugar and insulin give them fuel to grow.
Keto cuts off that supply.
By lowering insulin and stabilizing blood sugar, your body switches to ketones, a cleaner fuel that protects and repairs mitochondria.

6/ Omega-3 fatty acids
Excess omega-6 seed oils create chronic inflammation, the perfect environment for cancer growth.
Omega-3 from fish oil, cod liver oil, and wild-caught salmon fight inflammation and protect your cells.

7/ Exercise and oxygenation
Cancer cells thrive in low-oxygen environments.
Regular exercise floods tissues with oxygen, strengthens mitochondria, and reduces inflammation.
Even simple daily walks can lower your risk significantly.

Cancer prevention is not about luck.
It is about creating the right conditions in your body:
• Strong immunity
• Healthy mitochondria
• Low inflammation
• Stable blood sugar
• Adequate oxygen
And you can start today with these 7 habits.
