Eat out healthy
China is one of the most populous countries in the world, and the high incidence of cancer in it has attracted people's attention. In recent years, some have linked the high incidence of cancer in China to an increase in pork intake. However, under the guidance of TCM theories, we can look at the causes of cancer and preventive measures from multiple perspectives.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cancer is a complex disease caused by a combination of factors. Pork intake may be one of them, but it is not the only reason. In fact, the causes of cancer are very complex, including dietary structure, environmental pollution, genetic factors, lifestyle Xi and other factors. Therefore, it would be incomplete to simply associate the high incidence of cancer with an increase in pork intake.
In TCM theory, cancer is classified as:"Malignant tumors"Its occurrence is related to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, the poor flow of qi and blood, and the endogenous phlegm and dampness. Therefore, TCM emphasizes that regulating and balancing the body's yin and yang, clearing dampness and heat, and regulating qi and blood circulation are the keys to preventing and improving cancer.
Some of the ancient remedies have a certain effect in the prevention and treatment of cancer. For example, in the "Taisu Ling Fang", a prescription called "Qing Lung Cancer Soup" is recorded, with honeysuckle, dandelion, succulent ginseng and other Chinese herbs as the main ingredients, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, dissipating knots and reducing swelling, and can assist in ** cancer.
With the development of modern science and technology, more and more traditional Chinese medicine has been used in cancer**. For example, forsythia and skullcap have antitumor activity;Salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng can promote blood circulation and enhance the body's anti-tumor abilityChuanxiong and Angelica sinensis can regulate qi and blood and improve the overall state of the body.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine advocates that dietary regulation is as important as the prevention of cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diet is the foundation of life, and a reasonable diet is essential for human health. In the diet for cancer prevention, TCM emphasizes the combination of meat and vegetables, and avoids spicy and greasy foods. At the same time, adjust the diet structure according to the individual's physique, and increase the intake of foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, etc.
In conclusion, there may be a link between the high incidence of cancer in China and the increase in pork intake, but it is not the only reason. Under the theoretical guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, we should comprehensively consider the causes and preventive measures of cancer from many aspects, including regulating the body's yin and yang, clearing dampness and heat, regulating qi and blood circulation, and dietary regulation. At the same time, the application of traditional Chinese medicine also provides some help for the development of cancer. Therefore, we cannot simply link the high incidence of cancer to a single factor, but should adopt an integrated prevention and treatment strategy to prevent and improve cancer.
