1. There are more and more bowel cancers, and the doctor said that it is a disease caused by eating!
Harvard School of Public Health, USAResearchers published in:Gastroenterology Journal: GastroenterologyIn a study, through the follow-up of nearly 30,000 people, it was found that the intake of red meat is high, smoking, obesity, etcUnhealthy lifestyle is the main reason for the increase in the incidence of digestive tract tumors in China
Chen Liang, director of the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Wenzhou People's HospitalIt said that the incidence of bowel cancer in China is increasing year by year, and it is constantly getting younger. Bowel cancer is a kind of "disease of wealth" that comes out of eatingEating too much meat and less fiber intake will slow the intestinal peristalsis, and the intestinal tract will be in contact with carcinogens for a longer time, thus increasing the risk of cancer.
Professor Li Menghong from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen UniversityThe study found that the tumor was cancerous in the processILF3 geneIt will promote a large amount of nutrients uptake by tumor cells, thereby promoting the malignant proliferation of cancer cells, and excessive intake of nutrients such as serine and methionine will promote the occurrence and development of cancer.
Gao Zhidong, chief physician of the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Peking University People's HospitalIt is pointed out that excessive intake of processed meat and red meat, love to eat fried food, as well as eating less whole grains and vegetables, lack of exercise, etc., will lead to slower gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase the risk of bowel cancer. Hence the recommendationsEat less processed meat, red meat, etc., and eat more whole grains, vegetables and fruits
Second, if there are 5 abnormalities in the body, it is best to check the colonoscopy
Bowel cancer is getting younger and younger, and many people are just some common symptoms, but they can't be cured for a long time, and when they go to the hospital, they are intestinal cancer. Yan Zhixue, Department of General Surgery, Hebei Provincial Geriatric HospitalReminder: Be vigilant if you have any of the following symptoms, and it is best to get a colonoscopy as soon as possible.
1. Abdominal pain
Symptoms of abdominal pain that progressively develop in the middle and lower abdomen should be vigilant, and once the tumor causes intestinal obstruction, patients may have abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms.
2. The number of farts is abnormally high
If the number of unexplained farts suddenly increases, accompanied by a pungent odor, it is necessary to be alert to intestinal tumors, which occur near the rectum, which may cause rectal obstruction and lead to abnormal fart.
3. Pain
If you have symptoms such as abnormal weight loss and changes in bowel habits, you must be vigilant.
4. The frequency of blood in the stool suddenly increases
Blood in the stool should distinguish between bowel cancer and hemorrhoids, generally the blood in the stool of bowel cancer is sticky blood in the stool, with blood on one side, which may be black, while hemorrhoids are bright red blood. Intestinal tumors may cause bleeding in the digestive tract and may also bleed from rubbing with the stool.
5. The frequency of bowel movements increases
If the frequency of stool suddenly increases, and diarrhea and constipation alternate, it is necessary to be alert to intestinal tumors and be investigated as soon as possible.
3. Reminder: These 4 diets are no longer taboo, and the intestines may be rotten like mud
The occurrence of many cancers is related to unhealthy lifestyle habits, as the saying goes, cancer enters from the mouth, and if you want to have a healthy intestine, you must avoid the following foods.
1. Hot food and hot drinks
International Agency for Research on CancerHot drinks above 65 degrees are classified as Class 2A carcinogens, and frequent drinking of hot drinks and hot food will increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
3. Cured and processed meat
Studies have found that regular consumption of salted or processed meats such as salted fish, bacon and sausages increases the risk of stomach cancer, as preserved foods contain nitrite, which can form nitrite amine after ingestion, thereby increasing the risk of cancer.
4. Moldy food
A class of carcinogens may be found in moldy foodsAflatoxins, thereby increasing the risk of liver cancer, intestinal cancer, stomach cancer and other cancers.
5. Fried and smoked food
Repeatedly fried and smoked foods may occurAcrylamide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzopyreneand other carcinogens, thereby increasing the risk of cancer, to try to eat as little as possible.
Studies have found that the high incidence of bowel cancer in China has a great relationship with diet, and too much intake of processed meat, red meat, etc., and lack of exercise will increase the risk of cancer.
For the sake of intestinal health, it is necessary to eat less hot food, cured and processed meat, moldy food and alcohol.
