What can you do to lower your risk of cancer? WebMD Chief Medical Officer drjohnwhyte joins AmerMedicalAssn's Moving Medicine to share some tips:
Hello, this is the American Medical Association's Moving Medicine video and podcast. Today we're talking to Dr. John Whyte, the chief medical officer of WebMD in Washington, D.C., about his new book,. I'm Todd Unger, AMA's chief experience officer in Chicago. Dr. Whyte, it's great to see you again. Believe it or not, the last time we talked was in August of 2020 when I think the only topic going on was about the pandemic. But in the meantime, you decided to write a book.
There's a couple ways it does that. It does that because of its impact on our weight. We do know that cancers relating to obesity are increasing. But it's also about the packaging of food, what's in them in terms of preserving them, in terms of the way we cook them. So what science has shown us is that many types of cancer increase when you eat a lot of red meat, processed meat, refined grains, all the cookies and candies and pastries and sugary beverages. Those increase your risk.
But it also has, as many listeners will know, these powerful antioxidants and that's where science comes in to tell us. It's not just, oh, you should eat more fish. It's about that it's going to help reduce what's called these free radicals that cause damage to our cells. It's going to help protect our DNA. Because when it comes down to it, cancer really is a disease that's of errors.
At the end of the day, what I hear from patients is they want actionable steps."Tell me what to do, doc," that that's what they'll say."Tell me what to eat, tell me what not to eat.
I congratulate them for doing 10,000 steps. They have a focus. But they're not sweating. They're not putting an effort in. In some ways, I wish they might only walk for 10 or 15 minutes twice a day, and every minute or two do some power walking or consider high intensity training to get that at heart pumping. That's what you need to do to get cancer prevention benefit.
