Bowel cancer is a common malignant tumor that poses a serious threat to people's health. The causes of the disease are complex, and dietary factors are considered to be one of them. Try not to eat these foods:
Of these three types of meat, including red, processed and barbecued meat, excessive intake of high fat and calories in red meat may lead to obesity, which is positively associated with bowel cancer risk. Red meat cooked at high temperatures can produce carcinogens, so it is recommended to reduce red meat intake, increase low-fat, high-fibre foods such as fish, poultry, legumes, vegetables and fruits, and adopt healthy cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, etc., to reduce the risk of bowel cancer.
Processed meat products often contain carcinogens such as nitrites, which are converted into nitroso compounds in the body, which may damage intestinal mucosal cells and increase the risk of bowel cancer. In addition, processed meat products are often high in fat and salt, and excessive intake can lead to obesity and metabolic disorders, further increasing the risk of bowel cancer. Carcinogens produced by food during high-temperature cooking further increase the risk of bowel cancer. Therefore, reducing the intake of processed meat and barbecued meat, and choosing fresh, unprocessed foods can help reduce the risk of bowel cancer.
These two types of vegetables refer to pickled vegetables and greasy vegetables. Pickled bacon and sauerkraut in winter have a high nitrite content, which can be converted into nitrosamines, a strong carcinogen in the body, after long-term consumption. Greasy dishes increase the concentration of bile acids in the large intestine, leading to an increase in the number of anaerobic bacteria, producing carcinogenic substances that affect immune function and promote the proliferation of cancer cells. There are also alcoholic beverages, ethanol is irritating, long-term drinking damage to the intestines, increase the risk of bowel cancer.
If you have digestive discomfort, bloating, nausea, acid reflux, loss of appetite, unformed stool, etc., it may be a gastrointestinal problem, it is recommended to avoid the above foods and alcohol, ensure adequate sleep, regular diet, and balanced nutrition to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
