Still eating and drinking as you please? Be careful to "pick" out colon cancer...Have you fallen into these eating habits?

Our physical health is closely related to our eating habits. Colon cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, these cancers that sound scary may be related to your eating habits.

0 1 “Pick out” colorectal cancer

Some people are very picky eaters and only like to eat meat but not vegetables. This picky eating habit will not only lead to nutritional imbalance, but may also increase the risk of colon cancer.

If the amount of meat consumed exceeds the body's needs, the excess nutrients will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Under the action of bacteria, the protein, fat and other substances rich in meat will quickly decay, producing substances that are harmful to health.

The intestinal mucosa is "contaminated" by harmful substances for a long time, and the process of "inflammation-necrosis-regeneration" is constantly repeated. Once the mucosal cells go astray during the repair process, they will become malignant. People who love to eat red meat and processed meat products should pay more attention.

Red meat

Refers to meat that is red before cooking. Meat from mammals such as pork, cattle, and sheep belongs to this category.

Processed meat

Refers to all meats that have been smoked, salted, air-dried or processed in other ways to increase flavor and preserve them for a long time, such as bacon, ham, cured meat, bacon, corned beef, jerky, canned meat, meat sauce, etc.

Cancer prevention advice

Appropriately increase the intake of coarse grains, including purple rice, brown rice, red beans, oats, etc.;

Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. These foods are rich in dietary fiber, which can speed up intestinal peristalsis and accelerate the discharge of intestinal waste;

Reduce the intake of processed meat products. This type of food may produce harmful substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines during the production or processing process. Eating too much can increase the incidence of colorectal cancer. It is recommended not to consume it more than 1 to 2 times a week.

0 2Esophageal cancer caused by overeating

If you always eat too much, especially at night, it can easily cause gastroesophageal reflux. Under the long-term stimulation of gastric acid, it can easily increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

Cancer prevention advice

Don’t eat too much when eating, 70% to 80% full is more appropriate;

Don’t eat or drink water that is too hot, and the temperature of the food and drinks you take should not exceed 45℃.

Don’t eat too hard food. Rough and hard food may damage the esophageal mucosa when passing through the esophagus, and may also increase the risk of esophageal cancer.

0 3Liver cancer caused by “saving”

There is nothing wrong with being a little "thrifty" in life, but if you are frugal to a certain extent, such as being reluctant to throw away moldy and spoiled food, and continuing to use moldy things after washing them, then liver cancer may lurk in the body, because these things may contain aflatoxin, a first-class carcinogen.

Aflatoxin is a metabolite of Aspergillus flavus. It grows at a temperature of 28℃ ~ 38℃. It likes humidity and is generally invisible to the naked eye. It can cause liver cancer and some other cancers.

Cancer prevention advice

Moldy chopsticks and cutting boards should be replaced promptly;

Don’t be reluctant to throw away moldy food, such as moldy peanuts, corn, beans, etc.;

Expired or spoiled cooking oil and condiments should also be thrown away in time;

Fungus that has been soaked for a long time will produce a large number of bacteria, aflatoxin and other harmful substances. If you consume too much at one time, it can easily cause liver poisoning, so it should be thrown away in time.

0 4 Lung cancer caused by “drawing”

Many people like to smoke a cigarette after a meal, but in fact, this is more harmful than smoking ten cigarettes at ordinary times. This is because while the body is digesting and absorbing food, its ability to absorb cigarette smoke is also enhanced, and the amount of harmful substances inhaled also increases.

Current research has found that cigarettes contain as many as 93 toxic substances and 78 carcinogens. In addition to the familiar lung cancer, other cancers related to cigarettes include bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and so on.

Cancer prevention advice

Don’t smoke after meals, and don’t smoke at other times. Quit smoking as soon as possible.

Stay away from secondhand smoke.

0 5Cancer cells are afraid of you doing these 3 things

I'm afraid you love sports

Physical exercise not only helps to lose weight or maintain body shape, but also has a preventive effect on cancer.

People who engage in at least 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to high-intensity physical exercise every day have a reduced risk of cancer, especially breast cancer and colon cancer.

I'm afraid you'll stay in a good mood

Among negative emotional reactions, depression, intense frustration, hopelessness and helplessness are closely related to cancer.

I'm afraid you'll get cancer screening early

Since most malignant tumors have no symptoms in the early stages or are difficult to detect, cancer prevention examinations have become a way to effectively intervene and manage high-risk groups and people with abnormalities.

Depending on your own situation, regular physical examinations can not only increase the early diagnosis rate of malignant tumors, but also reduce deaths caused by cancer.
