Medicine & TechnologyA new study by a team at University of Southern California suggests a little bit of fasting not just helps managing weight but also keeps a check on heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Taking a systems biological approach to the study of cancers, many researchers have come to find that there is an intimate intermingling between cancerous tumors and the metabolic rate at which your body processes sugars. As exponentially, growing highly-metabolic cells, cancers require a lot of energy to regenerate, so could starving your cells more often help you avoid cancer altogether? Preliminary studies seem to suggest so.
