Can you get cancer from not eating?

I was researching this because of intermittent fasting trends. While starving yourself doesn't cause cancer, long-term malnutrition can damage your organs and reduce your body's natural defense mechanism against abnormal cells.

Food is medicine for our body, and skipping it long-term creates a deep imbalance or 'dosha'. Starvation will not directly cause cancer, but nourishing your body with simple, home-cooked food is essential to keep your cells healthy and strong.

If you are unable to eat due to loss of appetite or nausea, that can actually be a symptom of an underlying medical issue. Please get a proper health checkup done by a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

I often skip meals when I'm stressed and then worry if I am destroying my health or inviting major diseases like cancer. Does anyone else get super anxious about stomach pain after skipping meals, or is it just normal acidity?

Bro, not eating just gives you severe acidity and makes you feel like a zombie during lectures. It doesn't cause cancer, but your stomach will definitely hate you. Just grab a roll or some Maggi!
