Effects of Insulin and Energy Levels on Cancer Risk
High levels of insulin can promote diseases, especially those that stimulate cell division, increasing the risk of cancer. Cells exposed to carcinogens in the external environment such as lungs, guts, colons, and skin are more susceptible to cancer. Carcinogens like smoking and pollution elevate cancer risk. Additionally, high energy levels, especially in physically inactive individuals, can lead to an increase in hormone levels, directing energy towards reproduction and potentially impacting cancer risk.
