As the saying goes, disease comes from the mouth, which is not unreasonable, these foods have been classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the World Health Organization, which is a substance that you may get cancer if you eat too much. Data from the National Cancer Center in 2022 shows that every minute in our China, there are about 7 to 8 new cancer patients, and about 6 cancer patients are killed.
Everyone can understand the numbers, but behind them are broken families, so how can cancer be prevented? The best way is for everyone to be the first person responsible for their own health, correctly understand the knowledge of cancer prevention, and actively prevent and control cancer. In fact, some cancers can be prevented from happening in daily life, and today Dr. Wang has summarized the 8 substances that cancer cells like to eat the most, and they must be touched less.
First: Stay away from tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol are internationally recognized as a class of carcinogens that can cause multiple cancers, such as stomach cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer and so on.
Second: eat less salt, adults should control their daily salt intake within 6 grams, especially some pickled foods, which contain nitrite, and a large amount of intake may increase the risk of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer.
Third: Eat less sugar. Eating foods with high sugar content often will affect the endocrine metabolism in the body, increase the secretion burden of pancreatic islets, and increase metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Diabetes and obesity are independent risk factors for cancer, such as endometrial cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc., so it is recommended that everyone eat a balanced diet and consume sugar appropriately.
Fourth: charcoal-grilled and fried foods, such foods will produce a carcinogen in the process of high temperature production, called benzopyrene or heterocyclic amines, they are carcinogens, especially some foods with high protein content, such as fish and shrimp meat, after high-temperature cooking, the most likely to occur a heterocyclic amine compound, which can increase the risk of lung cancer and breast cancer in the human body. Fifth: moldy food, many foods are damp and spoiled, will produce a class of carcinogens, such as aflatoxin, moldy peanuts, rice, nuts, etc.
Sixth: Processed meats, such as ham, sausages, etc., in order to preserve for a long time, they often add a large amount of nitrite, when nitrite meets organic acids will be converted into a carcinogenic substance nitrosamine, which will increase our risk of gastrointestinal cancer.
Seventh: Overnight meals. Studies have shown that the content of nitrite will rise after the overnight meal is heated, and nitrite is a carcinogen, and everyone knows that the bacteria in the overnight meal will exceed the standard, so try to eat as little leftover food as possible. Many elderly friends are advocating thrift, leftovers are reluctant to throw away, and eat the next day, which is very bad for health, I hope that everyone can keep this good habit of thrift at the same time, we must ensure good health as the premise.
Eighth: too hot foodWe often say that we should eat while it is hot, but in fact, if the food exceeds 65 degrees, it may send injury to the mucous membrane of our mouth and esophagus, and after a long time, it is likely to increase the risk of esophageal cancer and oral cancer. Have you memorized all of the above?
