Inflammation is a catalyst for cancer3 types of food may accelerate inflammation, so remove from the table as soon as possible
As a treasure of Chinese civilization, traditional Chinese medicine has always been highly regarded.
However, due to various reasons, the popularity of TCM is not high, and many people know little about it. In order to promote the popularization of Chinese medicine and let more people appreciate the charm of Chinese medicine, we must first conduct an in-depth understanding of the basic concepts and methods of Chinese medicine.
Inflammation, as the focus of both TCM and Western medicine, is an important part of the occurrence and development of many diseases. In recent years, a growing body of research has shown a strong link between inflammation and cancer. Some foods are thought to accelerate the inflammatory response and may even be a catalyst for cancer. This article will reveal these foods and how to protect against them in your daily life.
1. Red meat and processed meat.
Red and processed meat are classified as carcinogens by the World Health Organization. The digestion of these foods produces harmful substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrosamines, which can damage the body's DNA, which in turn can lead to inflammation and cancer.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates moderate consumption of white meat such as poultry and fish, which are rich in high-quality protein and trace elements, which are more beneficial to the body.
2. High-sugar foods.
Foods high in sugar are the main culprits for chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Long-term intake of foods high in sugar can lead to an increase in blood sugar, triggering insulin resistance, which in turn promotes inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the diet should be mainly light, and eat more whole grains and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar and blood lipids.
3. Fried food.
Fried foods produce a large number of harmful substances during high-temperature cooking, such as acrylamide and benzopyrene. These substances have a toxic effect on human cells and can trigger genetic mutations and inflammatory responses. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates cooking methods with less oil and less salt, and mostly uses healthy cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing.
In addition to the above three foods, bad lifestyle habits such as excessive alcohol consumption and smoking should also be avoided.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a healthy lifestyle is the key to disease prevention. In our daily diet, we can consume more foods that have anti-inflammatory effects, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, tea, and turmeric. These foods are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components, which help reduce inflammation and prevent the occurrence of cancer.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the concept of "curing diseases before they occur" emphasizes prevention. By adjusting our diet and lifestyle, we can reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity, thereby preventing the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cancer. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine also emphasizes the principle of individualization, and adopts different programs according to the constitution and condition of different patients. This requires us to have an in-depth understanding of the theoretical system and methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and combine it with modern medicine to provide patients with more comprehensive and effective medical services.
Promoting the popularization and development of traditional Chinese medicine is a long-term and arduous task.
