Health for All says
In recent years, with the change of lifestyle and living environment, the incidence of cancer has shown a gradual upward trend, which has not only become a serious threat to human health, but also has a huge impact on family happiness. Among the many types of cancer, three are jokingly referred to as "couple cancer", which means that when one spouse is sick, the other half is also prone to the same disease. So, what exactly are these 3 types of cancer?Next, I will combine the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions to introduce them in detail.
The first is stomach cancer. Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system, and its incidence is the highest in the list of cancers. Studies have found that when one spouse has stomach cancer, the risk of the other half developing the disease increases significantly. This phenomenon is closely related to factors such as Xi lifestyle and dietary structure. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of gastric cancer is related to the accumulation of dampness in the body and the imbalance of the spleen and stomach. In terms of the prevention of gastric cancer, TCM pays attention to regulating the spleen and stomach, advocating a reasonable diet, eating less cold, spicy and greasy foods, eating more fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and participating in physical exercise in moderation to maintain a happy mood.
This is followed by lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the common malignant tumors and one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in countries around the world. Studies have shown that smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and the risk of smoking in one spouse increases significantly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lung cancer is mainly related to the loss of lung qi and the intertwining of phlegm and heat. Therefore, quitting smoking is the most important step when it comes to preventing lung cancer. In addition, Chinese medicine also recommends some famous formulas such as lung clearing and phlegm decoction to help regulate the lungs and remove toxic heat.
Finally, there is liver cancer. Liver cancer is a type of cancer with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Studies have found that when one spouse has liver cancer, the risk of the other half is significantly increased. The occurrence of liver cancer is closely related to factors such as long-term damage to the liver and viral infection. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of liver cancer is related to liver qi stagnation and blood stasis and coagulation. Therefore, in the prevention of liver cancer, we must first maintain the liver, pay attention to life Xi and dietary structure. Among the famous prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine, Xiaoyao San, Xiaoyao Pill, and Zhuling Baizhu Powder are often used to regulate the liver.
In summary, stomach cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer are jokingly referred to as husband and wife cancers, and one partner is prone to the same disease after the other parent is also prone to the same disease. Although this phenomenon is related to genetic factors and living environment to a certain extent, we can still reduce the risk of disease through TCM health preservation and prescription conditioning. Starting from the aspects of life Xi and dietary structure, adhere to moderate exercise, avoid staying up late, and maintain a happy mood to maintain the balance and health of the body.
