Summary of Transcript:
This video discusses the connection between exercise and cancer prevention. Studies have shown that exercise can decrease cancer risk, including endometrial, colorectal, prostate, breast, lung, ovarian, and gastric cancer. The video explains that cancer occurs when a normal cell’s mitochondria become damaged, causing the cell to switch to anaerobic fermentation. Cancer cells also lack an abundance of mitochondria and do not have a limited lifespan because they do not undergo apoptosis or controlled cell death. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) trigger apoptosis in normal cells, but a deficiency of ROS in cancer cells means they do not get the signal to create apoptosis, thus allowing cancer cells to keep growing. Exercise floods the body with oxygen and increases ROS, which can trigger apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, exercise can improve blood sugars, insulin resistance, and the immune system, all of which play a role in cancer prevention.

Summary of Description:
Exercise has been shown to potentially prevent cancer, improve outcomes for people with cancer, increase oxygen and reactive oxygen species, improve blood sugars and insulin resistance, increase the number of mitochondria, decrease chronic stress, and improve the immune system. Synthetic antioxidants may increase cancer risk, potentially lowering oxygen and apoptosis in cancer cells. A healthy diet is also essential for preventing and fighting cancer, and interested parties can learn more about the best diet to support health in Dr. Berg’s videos on Healthy Keto.

Exercise and its Potential in Preventing Cancer
Cancer affects millions of people annually and can be a devastating diagnosis. However, exercise may be vital to preventing or improving the outcome of cancer patients. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of exercise in reducing the risk of cancer, and we will delve into the subject to find out why.
The Difference between Cancer Cells and Normal Cells
Normal cells rely on oxygen to function effectively, but cancer cells can thrive without oxygen. Cancer cells also do not have as many mitochondria as normal cells and can live forever. A healthy cell has a limited lifespan, but cancer cells have an indefinite one. A typical cell has abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) that trigger apoptosis (cell death), but cancer cells lack this species.
Factors That Increase Cancer Risk
Several lifestyle factors increase the risk of cancer. Smoking, infections, and inflammation negatively affect the body’s oxygen levels, disrupting the ROS process. Chemicals in synthetic antioxidants appear to reduce oxygen levels further, increasing the cancer risk. By increasing your knowledge of these factors, you can take steps to prevent cancer or slow its progression potentially.
The Benefits of Exercise for Cancer
It’s no secret that exercise is excellent for the body in several ways. However, one of the most potent benefits of exercise is its effect on cancer cells. Exercise boosts oxygen levels by 10 to 20 times and increases ROS levels by 1000 times. Another benefit of training is improving blood sugar and insulin resistance, which collectively reduce cancer risk. Those who exercise outside also receive crucial vitamin D and infrared light, lowering their cancer risk.
Mitochondria production increases drastically when you exercise, dishing out more oxygen and ROS. Exercise also helps boost the immune system, making it more effective against cancer. Incorporating regular exercise into your life could decrease your cancer risk and improve your overall health.
Check Your Diet to Fight Cancer
Diet plays a vital role in cancer prevention, so Dr. Eric Berg recommends following the proper diet to help prevent cancer. The ketogenic diet has proved suitable for those aiming to restructure their diet actively.
Conclusion
Exercise is an effective way to prevent cancer or improve the outcome of those with cancer. The benefits of exercise extend far beyond physical fitness, and it has a potent effect on cancer. Exercise increases the levels of oxygen and ROS in the body, both of which are crucial in triggering apoptosis. It also helps improve insulin resistance and the immune system, lowering cancer risk. Incorporating a healthy diet and exercise is always important to live a long, healthy life.

Today I want to cover the potent effect of exercise on cancer. Study after study shows a significant decrease in the risk of certain cancers when a person exercises—we will talk about why.
Normal cells and cancer cells are very different. A typical cell uses a lot of oxygen, but a cancer cell doesn’t have to use oxygen at all. A typical cell also has many mitochondria, while a cancer cell doesn’t. A specific cell has a limited lifespan, whereas a cancer cell can live forever.
A typical cell is triggered to die, and that trigger comes from a byproduct of using oxygen called ROS. ROS is a reactive group of chemicals that influence the body and react to the body.
Cancer cells have a deficiency of ROS, but normal cells have an abundance of ROS. The more oxygen you can give your cells, the more ROS you will have to trigger apoptosis (cell death).
This is one reason why things that lower oxygen enhance cancer—like smoking, an infection, or inflammation. Chronic stress and high glucose also cause decreased oxygen.
Research has shown that certain synthetic antioxidants can increase the risk of cancer. Could the chemicals in synthetic antioxidants lower oxygen and therefore lower the apoptosis in cancer cells? I think so.
Understanding this concept is crucial because there are things you can try to help potentially prevent cancer or slow things down if you have cancer.
One of the biggest things that will increase oxygen and ROS is exercise. Exercise can increase your oxygen by 10 to 20 times and ROS by 1000 times.
Exercise also improves your blood sugar and insulin resistance, which can decrease the risk of cancer. If you exercise outside, you’ll get vitamin D and infrared light. Both have been known to reduce the risk of cancer.
Exercise will also increase the number of mitochondria to produce more oxygen and ROS. Lastly, exercise will help improve your immune system to help you fight cancer.
Besides exercise, one of the best things you can do to help fight cancer and potentially prevent cancer is to get on the correct diet. To learn more about the best diet to support your health, check out my videos on Healthy Keto.
