Chopsticks and cancer.
Everyone who goes out to eat knows that most small restaurants like to send disposable chopsticks to customers, because it can avoid cleaning chopsticks, and in most people's minds, using disposable chopsticks is the safest and most reliable in terms of infectious diseases. In fact, using disposable chopsticks is not necessarily safe, because the shelf life of chopsticks is only half a year. If the place where merchants store chopsticks is unsanitary, chopsticks will also be "infected with bacteria", which will eventually endanger human health.
It is reported that there is a certain connection between chopsticks and cancer! The essence of disposable chopsticks is bamboo or wood, which contains certain moisture. If it is stored for a long time and the place is wet, it is easy to make chopsticks moldy. At this time, chopsticks will become a "love house" for bacteria, and a large number of bacteria will then release harmful substances such as aflatoxin, which will easily lead to liver cancer. If people use this moldy chopsticks for a long time, the chances of ingesting aflatoxin will be greatly increased, and the chances of suffering from cancer will also increase, and human health will be "in jeopardy".
Changing bad living habits is the most basic condition to ensure good health. Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to use disposable chopsticks, which is not only for society, but also for personal health. However, if necessary, the following methods can be used to check whether it meets the hygiene standards.
2. How to check whether chopsticks are qualified?
1, the appearance of chopsticks with obvious deterioration often changes. If the chopsticks are twisted, it means that the storage time is too long, the material has been oxidized and deformed, and it can be judged that the validity period has passed and it is not suitable for use.
2. Chopsticks that are already wet will give off sour taste because of mildew. People can judge whether it can be used according to this feature.
3. If bacteria multiply in large quantities, the surface of chopsticks will have a "colony" structure due to the accumulation of bacteria and their secretions, which is the most obvious feature of the naked eye. What people can see is like a "coat" on the surface of moldy peanuts.
Chopsticks and cancer are only one step away. For your own health, please use disposable chopsticks carefully!
3, cancer prevention measures
1, do not eat moldy grain and its products. When peanuts, soybeans, rice, flour and vegetable oil are moldy, aflatoxin can be produced, which is a strong carcinogen (especially liver cancer and stomach cancer).
2. Do not eat smoked or pickled foods, such as bacon, bacon, salted fish, pickled sauerkraut, pickles, etc. These foods contain a chemical that may cause gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.
3. Don't smoke. Tar and other substances in cigarettes are carcinogenic factors leading to lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Recent studies have proved that smoking is also related to female cervical cancer.
4, do not drink, especially do not drink spirits. High-concentration alcohol can stimulate epithelial cells in oral cavity, esophageal wall and stomach wall and cause cancer.
Smoking and drinking at the same time will greatly increase the risk of cancer.
6, don't contact or less contact with the black smoke from the big chimney, the air polluted by it contains a small amount of carcinogens.
7, can't use washing powder to scrub tableware, tea set or wash food.
8. Don't pack food with toxic plastic products (PVC).
9. Don't eat vegetables, fruits and other things contaminated by pesticides.
10, drink fresh and clean water, don't drink too hot water, and don't eat overheated, hard, burnt or salty food.
1 1, don't get too much sun. Ultraviolet rays in the sun can cause skin cancer and may reduce human immunity.
12, eat more fresh vegetables, don't eat too much, control the intake of meat and weight, can reduce the incidence of cancer.
13, don't often eat drugs that may cause cancer, such as hormone drugs and large doses of vitamin e.
14, women with uterine erosion, regular check-up, timely treatment to prevent cancer.
15, adults with long penis foreskin should be removed in time to prevent penile cancer.
16. The air pollution in the closed environment is quite serious whether air conditioning equipment is installed or not. A ventilated house is good for human health. Rooms without air conditioning must also be opened for about 1-2 hours every day.
17, radioactive rocks and mineral sands shall not be used as building materials in decoration, and building materials containing carcinogens such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride, formaldehyde and dichloromethane shall not be used. Carry out interior decoration under the condition of air circulation. After the renovation, the smell of indoor paint, glue and new furniture will be discharged through the window and ventilated for about 30 days, so people can live safely. The investigation of medical institutions shows that the pollution of modern home decoration is one of the main reasons leading to the high incidence of cancer.
18, cooking or frying food, because the oil pan is too hot, a lot of oil smoke is harmful to human body, so the cooking oil temperature should not be too high, the oil pan can not emit oil smoke, and cooking methods such as frying, frying, frying and smoking should be used as little as possible. Advocate the use of steaming, boiling, cold salad, boiling, soup and other cooking methods.
19. After working in factories, mines, workshops, etc. People should wash their hands or take a bath first instead of taking their work clothes home.
20, add new clothes should also pay attention to whether there are pollutants such as formaldehyde. After buying fabrics and clothes, it is best to wash them with water before wearing them.
2 1, don't hold your urine: Studies have found that the occurrence of bladder cancer is related to a person's drinking and urination habits. Data show that people who urinate five times a day are more likely to develop bladder cancer than those who urinate more than six times. This is mainly because drinking less water, holding urine for a long time, easy to concentrate urine, and urine stays in the bladder for a long time. Chemicals in urine can stimulate mucosal epithelial cells, leading to cancer. Drinking more water and urinating frequently can play the role of "flushing" the bladder and eliminating harmful chemicals.
22. Quit smoking: At present, smoking has become a worldwide social hazard, which seriously threatens human health. The comprehensive research report shows that the cancer incidence of smokers in the United States, Britain and Canada is 10.8 times that of non-smokers and 5.4 times that of laryngeal cancer.
According to the report of authoritative cancer research institutions in the United States, bad living habits account for 35% of the carcinogenic factors, and smoking accounts for 30%, which together account for 65%. Smoking is very harmful to the fetus. If pregnant women smoke, their children's chances of developing cancer in the future will increase by 50% In view of this, paying attention to the prevention of the above links can keep most people away from cancer, and it is very important for everyone to start from themselves. Smoking is extremely dangerous for people of any age, and it can lead to cancer.
23, drink vegetable juice; Often drink beet juice (made from roots and tops), carrot juice (containing β-carotene) and asparagus juice. The mixed vegetable juice made of fresh cabbage and carrot has excellent effect. Grape juice, cherry juice and all dark juices, including black vinegar millet juice, are very good nutritional juices, and fresh apple juice is also beneficial. It is best to drink fruit juice in the morning and vegetable juice in the afternoon. Drinking only mineral water or distilled water has a higher incidence.
24. Eat onions and garlic: Onions and garlic are excellent healthy foods. Eat ten raw almonds every day. They are rich in amygdalin and are anti-tumor agents. You can eat more sprouts, such as radish sprouts and bean sprouts, preferably raw or scalded with boiling water.
25, eat raw radish: Many people know that a drug called "interferon" is often used in hospitals. It is a glycoprotein produced by human white blood cells, which can inhibit the rapid division of cancer cells in the body. However, little interferon is produced in the human body, so scientists have developed a class of drugs called "interferon inducers" to stimulate and induce the human body to produce more interferon. In the daily diet, there are also some foods that can induce interferon, and the best is white radish. Studies have proved that the active ingredient of interferon inducer, double-stranded ribonucleic acid, can be separated from radish (double-stranded ribonucleic acid is double-stranded RNA, and the normal form of RNA is single-stranded, which exists widely in almost all organisms and only combines into unstable double-stranded under special circumstances, which is completely wrong; Radish may have anticancer effect, but it is not caused by so-called double-stranded RNA; ) has obvious inhibitory effect on cancer cells of esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer and cervical cancer. However, because this active ingredient is not heat-resistant, it will be destroyed during heating if cooked, so eating raw radish is beneficial to cancer prevention.
26. Restrict the high-fat diet: Research shows that compared with the low-fat diet, the fat-rich diet greatly increases the incidence of colon cancer and breast cancer. High-fat diet is a growth promoter of cancer cells.
The goal of cancer prevention is to reduce the occurrence of cancer. Including reducing exposure to carcinogens, changing diet and living habits, or improving medical technology (early diagnosis and treatment, ultrasound, MRT or CT scanning, etc. ).
Many ideas about cancer prevention are based on epidemiological research. By analyzing patients' data, it can be found that lifestyle or exposure to some environmental risk factors are indeed related to the incidence of specific cancers. More and more evidence shows that improvement according to the suggestions made by epidemiological research can really reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer.
For the high-risk groups of cancer, such as those with family history or environmental pollution (such as radiation house residents), we can do more in-depth and detailed examination and analysis and take preventive drugs. People with cancer-related gene mutations can reduce the risk of cancer through preventive surgery.
27, more exercise: life lies in exercise, this sentence emphasizes the importance of exercise for life and health. According to the latest findings of sustainable research, exercise has obvious preventive effect on cancer, the life-threatening enemy.
28, improve the body's immunity: the beneficial effect of air negative ions on the human body has been confirmed in many studies. Clinical experiments show that negative ions can obviously improve the immune function of the body, activate the reticuloendothelial system, improve the body's response ability and enhance the body's disease resistance, which are important components of self-healing ability. Self-healing power was put forward by the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates 400 years ago. "The patient's instinct is the patient's doctor." Self-healing power means that the human body has a self-healing system, which is mainly composed of immune system, nervous system and endocrine system. It is with this self-healing ability that human beings can survive and multiply in the ever-changing nature. Negative ions can improve the self-healing power of the human body and are naturally beneficial to the human body.
