There is a saying like this: a cancer word opens its mouth three times, eating, drinking and smoking blindly.
The words are very popular, but they also sum up this point very accurately-unhealthy diet will increase the risk of cancer.
It cannot be simply said that cancer is a problem of eating, but healthy eating habits are of great significance to the prevention of cancer.
Ye Sen, Ph.D. In chemical biology from the University of Hong Kong, will talk about cancer prevention from the perspective of “shut up”.
There are not many things to pay attention to, mainly the following three points.
Quit smoking and drinking from one’s mouth
The importance of quitting smoking cannot be overemphasized.
A large number of studies have confirmed that smoking can lead to lung cancer, oral cancer, throat cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer and cervical cancer…
Seeing so many [cancer] words, don’t you cut off your cigarette immediately?
In addition, smoking also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, tuberculosis and diabetic complications.
Worse still, these effects are not only aimed at individuals who smoke. As long as one person smokes, his family and friends will follow suit to smoke secondhand smoke and third-hand smoke.
For the sake of your own health and that of the people around you, quit smoking quickly.
Alcohol has long been recognized as a category 1 carcinogen. If it is not realistic to give up drinking completely, at least we can limit the amount of alcohol to a safe enough range.
The American Cancer Society believes that men should consume no more than 25 grams of alcohol per day, while women should not consume more than 15 grams of alcohol per day.
However, so far, no study has given clear evidence of the widespread efficacy of [drinking can activate blood vessels and strengthen the body].
Don’t make excuses for yourself to drink. Drinking too much can make you happy. Drinking too much is really not good at all.
Diseases enter from the mouth, and some cancers also enter from the mouth.
Eating too much salt, or eating too much pickled vegetables, pickled products, etc., will increase the risk of gastric cancer;
Fried, smoked and roasted food belongs to Class 2A carcinogen;
Eating too hot food will increase the risk of esophageal cancer, preferably not more than 65 ℃;
Eating red meat such as pigs, cattle and sheep is related to colorectal cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. (It is possible to control the total amount of red meat to an average of 50g per day, so don’t worry too much about it …)
Mouldy corn and peanuts, with aflatoxin, are closely related to liver cancer.
Smoking and chewing betel nut are one of the pathogenic factors of oral cancer.
… …
Diseases come from the mouth, and so do some cancers.
What can we do? In short, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat a proper amount of red meat (pigs, cattle, sheep), eat less or no processed meat products, etc.
Vitamins, antioxidants and cellulose in vegetables and fruits can bring obvious benefits to the body. However, vegan diet is not recommended. Poultry meat, fish meat, eggs and milk are the main sources of high-quality protein and are indispensable for balanced nutrition.
As for some health care products that can prevent cancer or even fight cancer in the publicity, don’t believe them.
At present, among the 27 health care functions approved by the state, anti-cancer is not one of them, just for businesses to make money.
Eat well, match reasonably and balance nutrition are the most important.
Stop your mouth at the right time and don’t eat too much, in order to be healthier.
Many people know that obesity can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, osteoarthritis at the knee, endocrine diseases such as diabetes, etc., but it is still little known that obesity can cause cancer.
At present, it has been made clear that the incidence rate of esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, gallbladder cancer, etc. will increase due to obesity.
Is how a reasonable weight?
Dr. Clove has introduced an index-height and body mass index (BMI) many times, which can help us judge whether we are obese or overweight.
BMI = weight (kg)/height (m) squared
BMI < 18.5 and low body weight;
BMI ranged from 18.5 to 23.9. Body weight was normal.
BMI is 24 ~ 27.9 overweight;
BMI ≥ 28 obesity
For example, if a person is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 60kg, then his BMI is 60 ÷ 1.6 = 23.44, which is overweight.
In order to reduce the risk of cancer, fat friends should lose weight scientifically while ensuring nutrition and strive to control their weight within a reasonable range.
