Women drink shrimp, tofu and kelp soup to prevent breast cancer

Following A-Shan, another beautiful female singer in the entertainment industry, Yao Beina, passed away at a young age due to breast cancer, causing shock and regret among the people. In recent years, breast cancer has become a high-risk disease that claims the lives of Chinese people, especially women. To attach importance to breast cancer prevention, we must not only conduct regular cancer screening, but also develop good habits in daily life. Of course, making conscious choices in diet is also one of the ways to prevent breast cancer. This week, the God of Food recommends some foods to women that can help prevent breast cancer. Today, the food I want to recommend to you is kelp.

1. Eating more kelp can help women reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence

The treatment process of any kind of cancer is not a healing process, but rather a process of correcting the imbalance between cancer cells and normal cells, so that the human body can be restored to a state of balance between cancer cells and normal cells. In this case, if people do not pay attention to preventing recurrence, the balance between cancer cells and normal cells can easily be broken again. Yao Beina's regrettable death was the result of the recurrence of breast cancer. The passing of the angel sounded the alarm for female friends who have suffered from breast cancer: cancer cannot be completely cured, and preventing recurrence is as important as treatment.

In 2010, a study conducted in South Korea showed that women who eat more kelp can effectively reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence. The researchers divided 362 breast cancer patients aged 30 to 65 into two groups, one group ate kelp and the other did not. Consuming 36 grams of fresh kelp (or 2 grams of dried kelp) every day for two years found that kelp can reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence by 52%. In addition, kelp is rich in soluble fiber, which is easier to digest and absorb than ordinary fiber. It helps the body to defecate smoothly, helps relieve and prevent constipation, and thus prevents colorectal cancer.

2. Eating kelp regularly can help prevent goiter

Kelp contains a large amount of iodine, and it is known as the "king of alkaline foods." A few years ago, some places said that many people suffered from thick necks because they had been eating whole salt instead of iodized salt. In fact, thick neck is caused by hypothyroidism. Iodine can promote the function of the thyroid gland, which is very helpful for calorie consumption and body metabolism, thereby achieving the goal of weight loss and weight control. Potassium is also a major focus of kelp nutrition. Many people ignore potassium. Ignoring potassium means ignoring one-third of the nutrition. Potassium is a mineral that can eliminate floating fat in the body. It can help balance the sodium in the body. If there is too little potassium in the body, it will cause an imbalance in the sodium-potassium balance in the body. Excess sodium will retain water and cause cell edema, making it difficult to lose weight and the floating fat more obvious. However, if the body takes in enough potassium ions, sodium ions will not retain excess water, thus maintaining women's beautiful curves.
