Eat Healthy And Avoid Metabolic Stress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every day it seems researchers are learning something new about cancer. Recently, it was discovered that cancer cells could be vulnerable to metabolic stress. According to an article on Medical News Today’s<\/a> website, this discovery could pave the way for new cancer therapies\u00a0that won’t be harmful to normal cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Tumor Cells Get Stressed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Research has shown that a tumor is usually\u00a0not made up of identical cells. When someone goes through chemotherapy the cells frequently change.\u00a0This chromosomal instability causes cancer cells to stress out. When they are stressed, it could lead to metabolic disruption.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is metabolic stress?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Metabolism is essential to life. It’s what turns food into energy.\u00a0Metabolic stress puts a strain on the immune system, and could diminish muscle strength.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Experiments are currently being conducted on Drosophila flies that will show how much stress unstable cells can tolerate. Dr. Gregory is hoping this study will be the jumping-off point to developing treatments that have no side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ways to Avoid Metabolic Stress<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the article, chemotherapy is toxic to all dividing cells. That’s why there are so many chemotherapy side effects<\/a> such as hair loss, pain, and infections. The immunotherapy\u00a0treatments we provide at\u00a0Issels\u00ae Integrative Immuno-Oncology<\/a> have been\u00a0shown to\u00a0stop the growth of unstable tumor cells in many patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other ways to avoid metabolic stress is by radically changing one’s eating habits and by working out. Exercise has also been linked to cancer prevention and reduced cancer recurrence<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
