Is has been shown in studies that elevated levels of blood sugar promote cancer growths. One of the things, besides what you eat, that can keep sugar levels up, is when you eat. In fact, women who fasted for 13 hours had a decrease in the recurrence of breast cancer. Elevated blood sugar also promotes weight gain, and in my experience, many, but not all, of my clients with breast cancer were overweight. What time should you eat breakfast? If you eat breakfast at 8 am, count back 13 hours. That is when you should stop eating the night before.

Not surprisingly, reducing sugar levels in the form of a fast, can reduce risk of cancer. You can do this every night by doing a 13hr fast. According to Life Extension Magazine (July 2016), research showed “women who fasted for fewer than 13 hours a night had a 36% higher risk for breast cancer recurrence, compared with women who fasted for 13 or more hours”.
