Which cancers are related to “eating”?

Pay attention, pay attention! The following 8 types of cancer are all related to diet. Experts remind you not to eat like this anymore.

1. Pancreatic cancer: Eat less "three high" foods

Pancreatic cancer has always been called the "king of cancers". Pancreatic cancer is closely related to excessive consumption of "three highs" foods: high fat, high protein, and high sugar.

It is recommended to add fresh vegetables and fruits to the diet. Avoid overeating to reduce the burden on the pancreas.

2. Colon cancer: eating more meat and less vegetables

Eating too much meat will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, reduce the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, slow the decomposition of food, and cause it to remain in the intestines for a long time, leading to difficulty in defecation and accumulation of toxins in the body, laying the groundwork for the occurrence of colon cancer.

To prevent colon cancer, it is best to eat more fruits and vegetables and have a bowel movement once a day. For patients with constipation, in addition to strengthening exercise, a healthy diet can also help relieve symptoms. Instead of being obsessed with various "laxative teas" that may harm intestinal function, it is better to drink more water, eat more whole grains, and eat natural laxative foods such as vegetables and dragon fruit.

3. Oral cancer: smoking and drinking

The World Cancer Research Fund reports that more than 40% of oral cancers are related to alcohol. Smoking is the main culprit for oral cancer in people under 40 years old. In addition, chewing betel nut frequently can also increase the risk of oral cancer.

Sixty percent of oral cancer patients have the following characteristics: chewing betel nuts, tasting strong liquor, liking sour and spicy food, and loving to drink alcohol.

4. Lung cancer - high temperature cooking

Chinese people like high-temperature cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying and deep-frying. Once the oil temperature is not controlled well, a large amount of fumes containing carcinogens will be produced. In addition, many kitchens are poorly ventilated, and inhalation of fumes by the human body increases the risk of lung cancer.

It is recommended to adopt low-temperature cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, stewing and blanching.

5. Gastric cancer: Eating leftovers and pickled vegetables

Eating leftovers every day is the most regrettable habit for many gastric cancer patients. Eating pickled food is also an important cause of gastric cancer. This is because pickled food often contains nitrite, which is a strong carcinogen.

It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and less pickled food, moldy food and leftovers. In particular, it is recommended not to eat vegetables that have been pickled for less than 1 month.

6. Esophageal cancer: like spicy food

Eating "too hot", "too spicy" or "drinking alcohol" are important causes of the high incidence of esophageal cancer. High-temperature food can damage the esophageal mucosa, causing blistering, ulceration and bleeding in severe cases. Repeated consumption can induce cancer.

The most suitable food temperature for humans is around 10-40 degrees Celsius. Eating food that is too hot or spicy will burn the esophageal mucosa, and constant stimulation will cause hyperplasia and mutation of the esophageal mucosa, leading to cancer.

7. Breast cancer: high-fat, high-calorie diet

Women who like to eat high-fat, high-calorie foods such as fried foods and processed meats have a higher risk of breast cancer.

It is recommended that women eat no more than two taels of meat per day, and make sure to eat 1 jin of vegetables, half a jin of fruits, and 30 to 50 grams of soybeans and their products.

8. Liver cancer: food becomes damp and moldy

Do you like to scrape off moldy and rotten food and continue to eat the "intact" part? Do you want to scald moldy beans and blanch them in hot water before eating them? Be careful! Eating like this is not far from liver cancer. Aflatoxin can cause liver cancer. It is often found in damp and moldy peanuts, rice, corn, nuts and other foods.

It is recommended to store food properly and throw away food that has gone bad, even if it has only a slight musty smell. If you eat bitter and moldy nuts, you should spit them out and rinse your mouth immediately.
