10 methods to prevent cancer
1. Pay close attention to the fact that your bmi adipocytes will produce and release hormones, which may promote the growth of cancer cells. Studies have confirmed that esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, postmenopausal breast cancer, renal cancer and endometrial cancer are all related to overweight, and even a little overweight will increase the risk of this kind of cancer.
Asians had better control their body mass index (bmi) between 18.5 and 22.9. The calculation method of bmi is the square of weight (kg)/height (m).
Sweating for 30 minutes every day is the most economical way to prevent cancer. You don't need to build six abdominal muscles, you don't need to run a marathon, you just need to exercise for 30 minutes every day, five days a week. Walking, dancing, cycling, climbing stairs, all kinds of sports can be done.
Exercise can regulate testosterone and estrogen in the blood and protect women from hormone-related cancers, such as ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. Canadian studies have found that regular moderate exercise can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by 30%. Another benefit of exercise is to promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce the accumulation and stay time of feces in the intestine, and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
Facts have proved that drinking green tea or coffee green tea can help prevent cancer. Because green tea contains catechins and antioxidants such as vitamins A and C, it has anti-cancer effect. These anticancer components are the most abundant in green tea, followed by oolong tea and black tea.
Coffee can also reduce the incidence of some cancers. Recent studies in the United States, Canada and Japan have found that coffee can help reduce the risk of liver cancer, renal cell cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer in women.
4. Fresh fruits and vegetables 579 Note 1 Special emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. The World Cancer Foundation recommends getting as much nutrition as possible from the diet.
70% of people in Taiwan Province Province have insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables. Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation, which promoted "Fruit and Vegetable 579", pointed out that it has been proved that enough fruit and vegetable fiber can prevent colorectal cancer and reduce the incidence of several cancers such as breast cancer and esophageal cancer. Cellulose in fruits and vegetables can reduce intestinal carcinogens, change the ecology of intestinal bacteria and avoid the formation of cancer cells.
It is recommended that children before the age of 6 consume 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day; Students, girls and female adults over 6 years old should eat 7 servings of fruits and vegetables every day; Teenagers and male adults should eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. 1 serving vegetables weighs about100g, and fruits weigh about150g. The daily intake of vegetables should be more than that of fruits 1.
5. Stay away from the temptation of fat. According to the report of the National Academy of Sciences, among all dietary components, fat has the strongest relationship with cancer, especially breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer.
There are some skills to eat less fat, such as choosing low-fat or skim milk; Replace some meat with beans or bean products; Remove the skin, fat and outer layer of fried powder; Scrape the cream or whipped cream off the cake and don't eat it; Eat noodles with a little sesame oil instead of meat dryness; When cooking, boiling and roasting with brine instead of frying can reduce a lot of fat.
6. Eat more chicken and fish, and eat less pork, beef, mutton chops, braised trotters and instant-boiled mutton. Although delicious, please try to eat as little as possible. The study found that compared with people who don't eat or seldom eat red meat, people who eat a lot of red meat such as pigs, cows and sheep have an increased risk of colorectal cancer by 30%. The total intake of red meat per week should not exceed 500 grams, while an ordinary size, 8 ounce steak is 240 grams. Smoking and processed meat such as sausages, ham and bacon should also be given up.
7. Quit smoking, drinking and betel nut. Please give up smoking immediately. Non-smokers should avoid second-hand smoke. Smoking is the main risk factor of lung cancer, which is related to esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer and breast cancer.
The good news is that no matter how old you are, as long as you quit smoking today, you can almost reduce your risk of cancer.
About 3% of cancer deaths are related to alcohol. Excessive drinking will increase the risk of oral cancer, laryngeal cancer and esophageal cancer. Long-term excessive drinking will easily lead to cirrhosis and increase the chance of liver cancer. If you really want to drink alcohol or prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is recommended that men drink two cups a day, and women 1 cup is enough (1 cup is about 250㏄ beer or 100㏄ wine, 25㏄ spirits).
Areca catechu is closely related to the occurrence of head and neck cancer (oral cancer, laryngeal cancer). This is also the cancer with the fastest increase in mortality in Taiwan Province Province in recent years, mainly in mature men.
8. Eat less salt, don't drink sugary drinks, no more than 6 grams of salt per day, drink less sugary drinks, preferably boiled water, no more than 150㏄ of natural juice per day, and don't eat moldy cereals and beans.
9. Breastfeeding It is recommended that mothers breastfeed for at least 6 months. Studies have pointed out that babies who drink breast milk have a lower risk of developing blood tumors in the future, and mothers can benefit from reducing the risk of breast cancer.
10. Keep relaxed and reduce stress. Lin, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, pointed out that depression is easy to induce cancer. Many cancer patients recall the two or three years before the onset, and are often in a state of mental and physical tension.
Medical research has found that mental stress will reduce immune function, depression will reduce the body's ability to repair dna, and the probability of cancer will increase significantly.
