In daily life, celery, as a common vegetable, is loved by the general public for its unique taste and nutritional value. However, there has recently been a claim circulating on the Internet claiming that celery is an "accelerator" for nodules, which has caused widespread public concern and concern.
So, does celery really have a bad effect on nodules? In this regard, we specially consulted the director of the gastroenterology department, who revealed the real relationship between nodules and diet, and reminded us that if we don't want nodules to become cancerous, we should stay away from the following six foods.
First, let's clear up the myths about celery. Celery is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, which have a positive effect on promoting digestion, lowering blood pressure, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Currently, there is no scientific evidence that celery accelerates the formation or worsening of nodules. As a result, we can consume celery with confidence and enjoy the health benefits it brings.
However, the head of the gastroenterology department reminded us that while celery itself does not adversely affect nodules, our eating habits are closely related to the formation of nodules and the risk of cancer. Here are six foods that we should try to stay away from:
One is high-fat foods. Long-term intake of high-fat foods, especially saturated fats and trans fats, not only increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also may promote the growth and cancerization of nodules. Therefore, we need to reduce the intake of high-fat foods such as fried foods and fatty meats.
The second is high-salt food. Excessive salt intake can lead to an increase in blood pressure, increase the burden on the kidneys, and also affect the body's metabolic balance and increase the risk of nodules becoming cancerous. Therefore, we need to reduce the intake of high-salt foods such as pickled foods and pickles.
The third is processed meat. Processed meat often contains high levels of additives and preservatives that can cause damage to the body and increase the risk of nodules becoming cancerous. Therefore, we should try to avoid processed meats such as sausages and ham.
Fourth, moldy food. Moldy foods may contain carcinogens such as aflatoxin, which can damage the body's liver and other organs, increasing the risk of nodules becoming cancerous. Therefore, we should avoid eating moldy food and keep it clean and hygienic.
Fifth, alcohol. Alcohol is a well-defined carcinogen, and long-term drinking can damage the liver and other organs, increasing the risk of nodules becoming cancerous. Therefore, we should try to avoid alcohol, especially strong and high alcohol.
Sixth, high-temperature fried food. Carcinogens such as acrylamide may be produced in high-temperature fried foods, which can cause damage to the human body and increase the risk of nodules becoming cancerous. Therefore, we should reduce the intake of fried food and try to choose healthy cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, stewing, etc.
In addition to avoiding the above six foods, the head of the gastroenterology department also advises us to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular work and rest, moderate exercise, and maintaining a happy mood. These measures help to strengthen the body's immunity and reduce the risk of nodules becoming cancerous.
In short, celery is not an "accelerator" for nodules, and we can eat it with confidence. However, in order to prevent nodules from becoming cancerous, we should pay attention to our eating habits and try to avoid the intake of high-fat, high-salt, processed meats, moldy foods, alcohol, and high-temperature fried foods. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also an important measure to prevent nodules from becoming cancerous.
