In today's society, cancer has become the focus of attention. For cancer research and research, we have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but the results are not satisfactory.
In these long years, there is an old man who, with his wisdom and perseverance, has devoted himself to cancer research. He is Sun Yan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Department of Medical Oncology of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
In the past 60 years, Academician Sun Yan has been committed to cancer research and has made outstanding contributions to the cause of cancer prevention and treatment in China. In the process, he has accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience about cancer, and has developed a unique set of prevention and methods.
Academician Sun Yan believes that the key to cancer prevention is to avoid exposure to some carcinogenic factors as much as possible. Here are four things he thinks should be avoided as much as possible.
After normal cells have grown to a certain stage, they are limited by a biological mechanism called "contact inhibition", which causes cells to stop proliferating when they come into contact with neighboring cells and are able to differentiate into normal, functional cells.
If the cells are mutated, this contact inhibition is broken, preventing these mutated cells from differentiating into normal cells. Mutated cells evolve to metastasis, which means they detach from their original locations and move to other parts of the body.
If the mutated cells are able to resist the immune system and other cells, they will crowd out normal cells and begin to destroy organ function.
1.Aging is severe
Now the problem of aging is getting more and more serious, so there are more and more elderly people. But now because young people are reluctant to get married and not have children, there are fewer and fewer newborns. Cancer is considered a geriatric disease, and the risk of cancer is higher in the elderly.
2.More and more people have bad Xi
It is precisely because of the continuous development of the economy that people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the more people pursue quality life, followed by many bad life Xi.
For example, often eat high-fat, high-calorie foods, and often have the bad Xi of staying up late, drinking, and supper. Then it will affect the health of the body, and it will also bring opportunities for cancer.
3.The impact of the natural environment
Nowadays, people's scientific and technological level has been steadily rising, and a large number of chemical plants have appeared in China. These factories emit a large number of harmful substances for a long time, resulting in a large number of bacteria in the air environment.
If people are in this environment for a long time, it will lead to an increase in the amount of bacteria in the body, resulting in a decrease in immunity. This leads to diseases and, in severe cases, cancer.
1.Fried foods
Fried foods contain high amounts of trans fatty acids, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other diseases, as well as lead to the development of cancer. So, if you want to prevent cancer, try to avoid fried foods, including fried chicken, french fries, and potato chips, among others.
2.Moldy food
Moldy food often contains a large amount of mold, and may also produce carcinogen aflatoxin, and occasionally eating moldy food, due to the small number of germs ingested, usually does not have much effect, and it does not cause cancer.
However, if you eat a lot of moldy things for a long time, resulting in a relatively high intake of Aspergillus flavus, it will accumulate over a long period of time, and the pathogenic bacteria may invade the body and then lead to cancer. In addition, moldy foods contain high amounts of nitrosamines, which can also lead to cancer if consumed in excess.
3.Wine
Alcohol is a carcinogen that can cause direct damage to the liver, triggering diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Over time, these diseases can progress to liver cancer.
In addition, alcohol can also promote cell carcinogenesis and increase the risk of cancers such as cancers of the mouth, larynx, esophagus, and bowel. In addition to the alcohol itself, alcohol also contains other substances that can be carcinogenic.
For example, smoked alcohol contains a substance called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are a confirmed human carcinogen. In addition, some alcoholic beverages also contain heavy metals such as lead, which may also affect your health if you drink it for a long time.
4.Cigarettes
Cigarettes are one of the significant factors that lead to lung cancer and many other cancers. Academician Sun Yan pointed out that tobacco contains a large number of carcinogens, such as nicotine, tar, benzopyrene, etc.
Long-term smoking can seriously damage the body's immune system, making the body more susceptible to cancer. Therefore, smokers are advised to quit smoking as soon as possible to reduce the risk of cancer.
1.Stick to regular check-ups
Through regular check-ups, we can nip possible health risks in the bud, just as we can kill cancer cells in the cradle. This is the most effective and scientific means of prevention and control.
Daily physical examinations can help us detect possible precancerous manifestations in various parts of the body, so that we can intervene in time to interrupt the chain of cancer. In this way, we can better protect our health and prevent cancer from occurring.
Walk for 1 hour a day.
Walking every day can cut the risk of pancreatic cancer in half. This is because pancreatic cancer is associated with high body temperature. Walking burns calories and can prevent pancreatic cancer. In addition, sweating after exercise can lead to the excretion of carcinogens such as lead and strontium, which plays a role in preventing cancer.
3.Have a regular schedule
Academician Sun Yan emphasized that regular work and rest and adequate sleep are essential to prevent cancer. The body's immune system is repaired and strengthened with adequate sleep, effectively reducing the risk of infection and cancer.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a good routine and rest Xi, ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day, and avoid bad lifestyle Xi habits such as staying up late and using electronic products for a long time.
4.Maintain good eating Xi
Many diseases are "eaten", and the same is true for cancer. Its occurrence is not much related to our daily dietary Xi, and people who eat high-fat, high-calorie and greasy foods for a long time will greatly increase the risk of colon cancer.
In addition, most of these people are obese, and obesity will lead to a much higher incidence of diseases such as colon cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer. In our daily life, we should maintain a good diet Xi habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat a light diet.
Conclusion: Cancer prevention is a long-term process that requires persistent efforts and persistence. Don't neglect your health because of short-term enjoyment, only by maintaining a healthy lifestyle can you stay away from the threat of cancer and live a healthy and happy life.
