In these rapidly changing times, the environment in which we live is constantly changing. Urbanization, industrial pollution, and increasing stress are not only affecting our lifestyles, but also quietly changing our physical health. Especially in the incidence of cancer, these changes seem to be playing a role that cannot be ignored. Subtle changes in the living environment, such as an increase in tiny particles in the air, a slight deterioration in water quality, or even the accumulation of stress in daily life, can unknowingly create a "breeding ground" for the development of cancer. But in the shadow of this grim shadow, there is a glimmer of hope: the possibility of defending against cancer through daily diet.
In modern society, changes in the living environment have a profound impact on health. Environmental pollution, changes in living habits, and increasing life pressure are all silently changing our physical microenvironment. These changes in the microenvironment, especially the decline in air quality, irregular eating habits, and prolonged mental stress, have been shown by scientific studies to be associated with an increase in cancer incidence. For example, harmful substances in the air such as fine particulate matter (PM2.)5) and carcinogens that can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, induce lung disease, and increase the risk of lung cancer. In addition, prolonged stress and anxiety in daily life can lead to endocrine disorders, a chronic state of stress that promotes the growth and spread of cancer cells. Therefore, understanding and improving the microenvironment of our lives is essential to prevent cancer.
Deep-sea fish, such as salmon and mackerel, are considered important foods in the fight against cancer due to their high content of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids can not only reduce inflammation in the body, but also improve the function of the immune system, thereby reducing the risk of cancer to some extent. For example, omega-3 fatty acids are thought to reduce chronic inflammation associated with cancer, which is thought to be a contributing factor to many types of cancer. In terms of dietary advice, it is recommended to consume deep-sea fish 2-3 times a week. In terms of cooking methods, you should try to choose steaming, boiling or grilling methods to reduce the addition of oil and retain the nutrients in the fish. In addition, in order to ensure food safety, the most reliable deep-sea fish products should be selected.
Nut foods, such as walnuts and almonds, are rich in vitamin E and plant sterols, which play an important role in cancer prevention. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body, thereby reducing damage and mutations to cells, which in turn reduces the risk of cancer. Plant sterols can help lower blood cholesterol levels, which indirectly reduces the risk of certain types of cancer. In the daily diet, it is recommended to consume nuts in moderation, such as a small handful a day. At the same time, it should be noted that nuts are high in calories and may lead to weight gain when consumed in excess, so it is necessary to control the intake.
In addition to the deep-sea fish and nuts mentioned above, you should also pay attention to the variety and balance of the diet in your daily diet. Adequate intake of vegetables and fruits provides the body with many vitamins and minerals, as well as important antioxidants**. In addition, the intake of processed meats and high-fat foods should be limited to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. In addition, regular checkups are also an important part of cancer prevention. With regular check-ups, abnormal changes in the body can be detected in time, allowing intervention to be carried out before the cancer progresses to an advanced stage.
