Why is it that some people eat well, exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle and still get a cancer diagnosis?
If you’ve ever wondered why this happens, today’s episode dives into the science behind it and offers a clearer understanding.
Cancer isn’t caused by one single thing.
It’s multifactorial, with genetics, environmental toxins, chronic inflammation, infections, and lifestyle all playing a role, and even a healthy body can be affected.
So on today’s Cabral Concept 3674, I’ll break down all the factors that can contribute to cancer, explain why it isn’t just your genetics that matter, and share practical strategies to help protect your health.
Enjoy the show!
Show Highlights & Big Takeaways
1. Cancer Is Multifactorial:
Cancer is rarely caused by one single factor. While genetics may increase risk, they do not guarantee disease. Cancer typically develops from a combination of influences such as immune function, inflammation, toxin exposure, infections, aging, and lifestyle choices.
2. Your Immune System & Inflammation Matter More Than You Think:
Random cell mutations happen in everyone. A strong immune system is designed to find and eliminate abnormal cells before they become a problem. Chronic inflammation, poor sleep, toxin overload, infections, excess weight, smoking, and high alcohol intake can weaken this protective surveillance system and increase risk.
3. Focus on Prevention, Not Perfection:
Many risk factors are within your control such as diet quality, sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, avoiding smoking, reducing toxin exposure, and managing stress. But you cannot control everything. The goal isn’t fear or perfection, it’s doing your best consistently.
