Shield&#8221;<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p id=\"influenza\">Excessive blood sugar plays a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer, primarily through the processes of glycation and glycosylation. Glycation, which is a chemical reaction not mediated by enzymes, occurs when circulating <strong>sugars bind to proteins, enzymes, RNA, DNA, and lipids, altering their structure<\/strong>. This phenomenon, along with glycosylation, which is enzyme-mediated, contributes to the <strong>formation of a &#8220;sugar shield&#8221; around cancer cells<\/strong>. This shield makes malignant cells less vulnerable to immune system attacks and reduces the effectiveness of cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, which struggles to penetrate the protective barrier. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong><br>Excess sugars promote the growth and survival of cancer cells<\/strong>, as these cells exploit glucose to fuel their metabolism, making them increasingly resistant to treatments. Targeted interventions to reduce glycation, such as controlling blood sugar levels, could therefore restore cancer cells&#8217; sensitivity to chemotherapy and other treatments, thereby improving the effectiveness of therapies. Recent evidence suggests that reducing excess sugars and inhibiting glycation could serve as a complementary therapeutic strategy, increasing tumor vulnerability and enhancing the response to cancer treatments..<\/p>\n\n<p id=\"digiuno\"><br>Recent studies, such as those published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35044789\/\">Science Translational Medicine<\/a><\/em> (2021) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/scisignal.abj2807\"><em>Science Signalin<\/em><strong>g<\/strong> (2022)<\/a>, confirm that excess sugars facilitate the formation of this &#8220;sugar shield&#8221; and can reduce the effectiveness of many anti-cancer therapies. These studies highlight the importance of monitoring and modulating sugar intake in the diet to improve the response to cancer treatments.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-107c2fd\" id=\"short-fasting\" data-block-id=\"107c2fd\"><style>.stk-107c2fd{margin-bottom:16px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Short Fasting as an Aid to Chemotherapy&nbsp;<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Short-term fasting<\/strong> (such as intermittent fasting to some extent) is a dietary approach <strong>involving alternating food abstinence cycles and regular eating<\/strong>. The most common method includes fasting periods that typically range from a few hours to a full day. There are different types of short-term fasting, but the most common involves <strong>at least 16 hours of fasting, typically by skipping dinner<\/strong>, followed by a complete breakfast the next morning. This routine should be repeated for two or, at most, three days per week. <\/p>\n\n<p>During short-term fasting periods, the body undergoes a series of beneficial metabolic changes, including <strong>a significant reduction in blood sugar levels and the production of ketones<\/strong>. Ketones are molecules produced when the body uses fats as an energy source instead of carbohydrates, and they have <strong>anti-inflammatory effects<\/strong> that may be beneficial in cancer treatment. <\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, short-term fasting helps reduce blood sugar spikes, decreasing inflammation and the production of pro-inflammatory molecules, which are factors that could fuel tumor growth. I<strong>ntermittent fasting also improves insulin sensitivity<\/strong>, promoting a more balanced metabolism and reducing the excess glucose available to cancer cells. <\/p>\n\n<p id=\"prevenzione\">Recent studies, such as the one published in<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/32028692\/\"> <em>Biomedicines<\/em> (2021)<\/a>, have shown that <strong>fasting can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy<\/strong>, such as kidney toxicity, and <strong>enhance the effectiveness of drugs<\/strong>. For example, some studies have indicated that reducing caloric intake and practicing fasting for 2-3 days before or after chemotherapy can improve patients&#8217; response to treatments while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. <strong>Integrating this practice with chemotherapy<\/strong> could therefore represent a promising nutritional strategy to optimize therapeutic outcomes. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-dbe001e\" id=\"prevention\" data-block-id=\"dbe001e\"><style>.stk-dbe001e{margin-bottom:16px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Prevention: A Nutritional Approach to Reducing Cancer Risk<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>In addition to its therapeutic effects, a balanced diet plays a fundamental role in cancer prevention. Recently updated oncology prevention guidelines recommend strict control of metabolic factors, particularly to maintain a healthy blood sugar balance and reduce chronic inflammation.<\/p>\n\n<p>Here are some practical tips to reduce the risk of developing cancer:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Monitor weight and its fluctuations<\/strong>: It is essential to maintain a healthy body weight and reduce excess adipose tissue, which can contribute to inflammation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/insulin-resistance-sugar-induced-inflammation-and-weight-loss\/\">increased insulin levels<\/a>, both risk factors for many types of cancer. <\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Regular physical exercise:<\/strong> It is recommended to engage in at least 150\u2013300 minutes of moderate physical activity per week or 75\u2013150 minutes of intense exercise.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Adopt healthy eating habits:<\/strong> It is important to consume a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes while limiting the intake of red meat, processed foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p id=\"conoscere\"><strong>Track inflammation and glycation<\/strong>: Specific products such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/glyco-medical-program\/\"><strong>Glyco Medical Program<\/strong><\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/perme-medical-program\/\"><strong>PerM\u00e8 Medical Program<\/strong><\/a> allow for assessing inflammation and glycation levels, providing an additional opportunity to personalize diet and treatment.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-5832add\" id=\"knowing\" data-block-id=\"5832add\"><style>.stk-5832add{margin-bottom:16px !important}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Knowing Your Glycation and Inflammation Levels<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p id=\"conclusioni\">A fundamental aspect of the nutritional approach in oncology is the ability to <strong>track glycation and inflammation levels<\/strong>. Personalized products for measuring glycation substances and inflammatory markers provide a valuable tool for defining <strong>tailored nutritional plans<\/strong>.

The ability <strong>to reduce inflammation and improve sugar metabolism<\/strong> provides <strong>important support for traditional oncology therapies<\/strong>, such as chemotherapy. <\/p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, by tracking glycation and inflammation levels, it is possible to further personalize nutrition and optimize treatment effectiveness.
