Andreas Moritz lists changes you can make to your lifestyle that will reduce your chance of developing cancer or help with cancer remission.

Raena Morgan: Besides dietary changes, what other lifestyle changes can we make to help prevent cancer or go into remission?

Andreas Moritz: Yes. Exercise is important, but not over exercising.

RM: All right.

AM: Again, there's a tendency to kill yourself during an exercise program which suppresses the immune system. It was found that if you exercise in a way that gets your heart beat moving very quickly and then you relax for let's say you do that for one minute and you relax for another minute or two and then you raise your heart again, then doing that two, three, four, five times is like-

RM: Interval training, is that what that's called?

AM: Yes. And you find that people who are short distance runners, they have the healthiest hearts and the healthiest lungs and they have good muscle tone, so they are much, much better and healthier than the people that are long distance runners that have diminished lung capacity, their hearts literally shrink and their lungs become smaller. So they are losing muscle mass and-

RM: Their hearts actually shrink?

AM: Yes. And so if you do that- you don't see animals constantly running all day long, right? You don't see them stress out over- they run a little bit and then they stop and graze and then the run again and they're walking, and so that's how we're supposed to do it. We have used exercise as a way to burn off calories,-

RM: Yes.

AM: -as if that is a solution to our health problems and obesity problem in this country at a time when sixty percent of the people are overweight or obese. That has something to do with the foods we are putting in, less to do with the exercise. You don't need to over exercise to be healthy. Some stretching and some moving, yeah, that's important,-

RM: Yoga.

AM: -or just your house chores or some gardening or something.

RM: So it doesn't have to be something that structures yoga?

AM: No. When you go back to a hundred years ago, people were all thin.

RM: They were.

AM: Or you go to Asia and- when I lived in India, I didn't see an obese person in '83. It has changed now in the big cities because McDonalds, you know, fast food restaurants and new lifestyles, no more time for eating, sitting down and eating. Now you have to do that, eat a sandwich while you drive. So there's a big difference of lifestyle that-

RM: And that's in India.

AM: And they didn't exercise! I mean they didn't run around on treadmills and weight lifting. You see the strongest people- I spent some time in Nepal and saw an old woman going up with a load of water going up the hill, steep hill, for hours sometimes just to get water. They're so strong, eighty years old and they carry this thing. I couldn't lift that back. So you see the energy that is running through people's bodies so much more than it is today, so it's the congestion that causes an energy deficit that the energy can no longer move throughout the system and in a later stage we may be able to talk about what causes that.

RM: So exercise, but not going at it a hundred and ten percent, normal, intermittent moving around.

AM: Yes. Aerobic exercise has now shown to be a leading cause of injury, internal and injuries to muscle because you always stretch- the body is not supposed to work out so hard that you damage the body.

RM: You think of all those gurus out there, all those exercise gurus.

AM: It's already changing. There's this moderation coming into the exercise systems and they found that if women who have breast cancer walked three times a week for half an hour each, they would reduce their risk or can reverse their cancers at a rate of up to forty-five percent. So simple exercising is sometimes more beneficial than rigorous or killer exercises.
