1."199-year-old sugar is an accomplice to cancer."
Some people say that sugar will "nourish" cancer cells. Although this statement is not accurate, high-sugar diet is indeed related to cancer.
Swedish scientists have followed up 80,000 people for 9 years and found that excessive intake of sugar, jam and other foods will increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Because eating sugar will lead to a large amount of insulin secretion, damage the function of islet, and become one of the potential factors to induce pancreatic cancer. A study of postmenopausal women found that people with high blood sugar levels have almost twice the risk of rectal cancer.
Solution: Learn to read the labels on processed foods and choose low-sugar or sugar-free foods. Beware of "invisible sugar", ketchup, frozen food, beef jerky, bread, etc. Both contain a lot of sugar. The glycemic index of polished rice and white flour is also high, so it is necessary to control the intake. It is recommended to eat more coarse grains such as corn, oats, beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes and yam.
2. "Fruits and vegetables are the bane of cancer, but many people ignore this."
20 17 In February, a study in Imperial College London, London, England showed that compared with people who don't eat fruits and vegetables, people who eat 200 grams of fruits and vegetables every day have lower risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature death 13%, 4% and 15% respectively. When eating 800g, it will decrease by 28%, 13% and 3 1% respectively. The study also pointed out that foods that can reduce the risk of cancer include green vegetables, yellow vegetables and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, radish, cabbage, cabbage, etc. ).
Countermeasures: Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (20 16) suggest that each person should consume 300-500g vegetables and 200-350g fruits every day. Hold out your hands and teach you to accurately measure the weight of fruits and vegetables: for vegetables, a fist+a big handle = 300~500 grams. For fruit, the number one is 200 ~ 350g.
3. "Food should be light and not salty, and control the hand that sprinkles salt."
Salt is also related to cancer. One of the main reasons for the high incidence of gastric cancer in some countries is excessive salt intake. Eating too salty will lead to chronic damage to the gastric mucosal barrier, which will increase the susceptibility to carcinogens over time and lead to gastric cancer.
Solution: The food should be light but not salty, and the daily total salt intake should be less than 6 grams. Pay attention to the "invisible salt" in food, and use less soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and seasonings. People with heavy tastes should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C to help block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitroso compounds.
4. "Pickling and smoking have a unique taste, just like cancer."
Pickled vegetables, bacon, sausages and other pickled foods often contain a large amount of nitrate, which will be converted into nitrite in the stomach and combine with amines in food to form ammonium nitrite, which has strong carcinogenicity and increases the cancer risk of organs such as stomach, intestine and pancreas. Smoked foods such as bacon and ham are also risky. In the production of smoked food, when fuel is not completely burned, a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be produced, which have different carcinogenicity, and benzopyrene, a strong carcinogen, is one of them.
Solution: Whether eating out or at home, eat as much fresh vegetables and meat as possible, and eat less processed meat products.
5. "Don't separate alcohol from tobacco, it will hurt you, me and him."
It has long been recognized that smoking increases the risk of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. Besides quitting smoking, the smoke here also includes lampblack. High temperature cooking, such as frying, frying, frying, etc. It is easy to produce a lot of lampblack mixed with many carcinogens such as alkanes, thus increasing the risk of lung cancer. Excessive drinking is closely related to liver cancer. People who often drink beer or other alcoholic beverages have a high incidence of colon cancer.
Solution: Besides not smoking yourself, don't let people around you suffer from secondhand smoke, because secondhand smoke will increase the risk of lung cancer by 20%~30%. Use cooking methods such as steaming and boiling, avoid excessive oil temperature during cooking, control the heat and time, and turn on the range hood. People who are greedy for alcohol should pay attention to the fact that men drink no more than 25 grams a day and women do not drink more than 15 grams.
6. "You didn't stay up all night, that's your life."
A survey by the American Association for Cancer Research found that women who sleep less than 7 hours a night have a 47% higher risk of breast cancer, because melatonin is produced during sleep, which can slow down the production of estrogen in women, thus inhibiting breast cancer. In addition, people who are often in a state of staying up late, fatigue and listlessness, their immunity will decline, giving the disease an opportunity.
Countermeasures: People of all ages should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, stay up late less, and pay attention to the rules of work and rest. Adults should sleep for 6-8 hours every day, and it is best not to eat for 2 hours before going to bed.
