Cancer, a terrifying disease.
How did it come about?How can it be prevented?This is a topic that many people pay attention to.
Frankly, the cause of cancer is not singular, and its appearance may be related to multiple factors such as genetic mutations, environmental pollution, radiation exposure, etc., but to a greater extent – cancer is a lifestyle disease.
Cancer likes you to do 9 things the most
Poor diet and lifestyle Xi are the main culprits of cancer, and this view is widely recognized.
So, which bad Xi are more likely to trigger cancer?Let's take a look at ——
Love sweet tooth
Eating sweets can make people feel happy, but eating too many high-sugar foods and drinking high-sugar desserts will not only increase the digestive burden on the body, but also may lead to obesity, which will increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Love to eat pickles
Pickled foods contain a lot of nitrites. Nitrite is an inorganic compound, when the body consumes too much nitrite in a short period of time, it will cause poisoning symptoms, and long-term consumption of pickled foods with high nitrite content will increase the risk of cancer.
Likes to be lazy
Long-term sedentary use of one position can not only easily lead to cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, varicose veins and other diseases, but also easily lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer.
Love to eat hot food
Long-term consumption of a diet above 65 is associated with a risk of cancer, and when the food exceeds 65, it will directly damage the oral cavity and esophageal mucosa, which may lead to esophageal cancer over time.
Frequent contact with moldy foods
If you are reluctant to throw away moldy food, you may accidentally ingest too much aflatoxin.
Aflatoxins are the most toxic and carcinogenic natural contaminants ever discovered, and high doses of aflatoxins can cause acute poisoning, and long-term ingestion of low doses can also increase the risk of cancer.
Difficulty quitting smoking
Tobacco smoke contains thousands of harmful substances, of which at least 69 have been scientifically proven to be carcinogenic, and heavy smokers are more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers57 times.
Excessive alcohol consumption
Alcohol is clearly classified as a class of carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, alcohol is very carcinogenic in the body, and long-term drinking will not only destroy the digestive system in the human body, but also cause oral and esophageal cancer.
Greasy diet
Oiliness not only makes it easy to gain weight, but also increases a woman's risk of uterine cancer by 62%, gallbladder cancer by 31% and kidney cancer by 25%.
The taste is too strong
Foods high in salt can easily damage the gastric mucosa and increase the risk of stomach cancer. People with salty tastes can eat some fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C to block the synthesis of natural nitroso compounds and reduce the risk of cancer.
Cancer is most afraid of the few things you do
I'm afraid you'll eat breakfast on time
About 30% of the daily energy needs of the human body come from breakfast, if you skip breakfast just to save time, it is easy to lead to malnutrition, the endocrine system such as the thyroid gland will also be affected, and the body's immunity will decrease, which will increase the risk of disease.
I'm afraid you eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which has strong antioxidant properties, can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and enhance the body's immunity.
When eating fruits, try to eat whole fruits and use less fruit juices and vitamin supplements instead.
I'm afraid you'll maintain a healthy weight
The World Health Organization has identified obesity as a chronic disease, and studies have shown that obesity can reduce the average life expectancy by 8 years and lay the foundation for many types of cancer.
In addition to controlling the value of weight, everyone should also control the waist circumference.
You can use a soft ruler to close to the belly button 1 cm above the eye **, the length obtained by going around the circle horizontally, the waist circumference of adult men is more than 85 cm, and the waist circumference of adult women is more than 80 cm, it is excessive waist circumference and needs to be controlled.
I'm afraid that you will keep exercising
Exercise helps keep hormone levels healthy and boost immunity in the body, and people who exercise regularly reduce their risk of 13 different cancers.
Even in patients who have been diagnosed with cancer, exercise can reduce the chance of metastasis,** or death and prolong survival.
It doesn't matter what kind of exercise you have, as long as you move, it's good for your body.
I'm afraid that you will bask in the sun frequently
Proper sun exposure can prevent many types of cancer.
But basking in the sun is also a technical job, and getting the sun wrong can lead to cancer. The time of drying is very important, it is best to bask in the sun before 10 o'clock in the morning and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, because the ultraviolet intensity in the sun at this time is low, and the damage to the sun is small.
I'm afraid you're getting enough sleep
Good sleep Xi is important to us because the pineal gland automatically releases melatonin after falling asleep.
Melatonin has been shown to reduce cancer progression through a number of different biological pathways. A good night's sleep can also effectively prevent cancer and prolong life.
How much sleep a person needs each day varies from person to person, as long as you feel that you have slept enough and are refreshed.
