According to Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation, according to the statistics of cancer occurrence in 20 12 years, 1 China people suffer from lung cancer every 45 minutes, 2.5 minutes faster than the previous year's 47.5 minutes, and its morbidity and mortality are still increasing year by year, which has a great impact on human health, especially women's health.
How to stay away from the threat of lung cancer? Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation cooperated with Watsons to promote the prevention and treatment plan for female lung cancer, reminding people to remember five life rules, stay away from carcinogenic environment, establish the habit of regular exercise and self-screening, eat more fruits and vegetables in a balanced diet, live a healthy life and follow health.
Five measures to protect lung health 1, don't smoke and stay away from second-hand smoke. Smoking can easily lead to lung cancer and other cancers as well as cardiovascular diseases. Although 90% of female lung cancer patients have no habit of smoking, long-term exposure to second-hand smoke or kitchen fumes will also increase the risk of lung cancer. So staying away from smoke and oil fume is the first step to ensure health.
2. The Research Report on Developing Regular Exercise Habits found that exercising for 15 minutes every day can prolong the average life span by 3 years and reduce the risk of cancer death by 10%. It should be noted that among all kinds of exercises, aerobic exercise is the most helpful to improve and maintain lung health. Run fast, ride a bike quickly, breaststroke, climb stairs with heavy objects, climb mountains, etc. Both are good training methods. It is suggested that the intensity of exercise should reach the state of "I feel breathless and can't talk".
3. Autonomous and regular lung screening. Regular lung screening is helpful for early detection and treatment. At present, there are five kinds of lung examinations: low-dose computed tomography, chest X-ray examination, sputum cytology examination, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. Among them, low-dose computed tomography is the most sensitive, which can detect tumors less than 0.3 cm, and the radiation exposure value is about 1/20 of X-ray, so it is considered as the most effective lung detection tool by the national medical service system. It is suggested that high-risk groups should practice the habit of independent regular screening.
4. Avoid long-term exposure to environmental pollution in the workplace. People who have been exposed to special workplace environments such as metal chemicals, radiation, asbestos, painters and special building stones for a long time need to pay special attention to the lung condition and have regular physical examinations.
5. The guidelines for healthy eating have formulated the dietary principle of "eat less red meat, high fiber, low fat, fruits and vegetables 579". Phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have multiple anticancer effects, which can inhibit the transformation of cells from normal state to cancer cells.
In addition, in order to make people face up to the importance of women's prevention and treatment of lung cancer, this year's "Love Your Lung" activity invited artists Xie Jiajian and Joanne as charity ambassadors, and launched a charity sale of cosmetic bags and handbags. For every 65,438+0 pieces sold, Watsons donated 20 yuan to Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation for cancer prevention and publicity.
