Dr. Clove has repeatedly mentioned that there are two main factors that determine whether cancer will occur: genes and environment.
Genes are inherited by parents, and the environmental factors here mainly refer to the general environment of life and personal daily habits.
Among these factors, what we can really improve is our daily habits.
Dr. Zhou Xiang of Oncology Department listed 6 kinds of bad habits that are easy to provoke tumors for readers and friends.
The following 6 kinds of people are more likely to suffer from cancer. If you are one of them, remember to make improvements as soon as possible.
A smoker and drinker
The carcinogenicity of smoking must be well known to everyone, and he must be the first to have bad habits.
Ninety percent of lung cancer patients are smokers. The risk of lung cancer in men is 23 times higher than that in non-smokers and 13 times higher in women. Secondhand smoke also greatly increases the risk of lung cancer.
Smoking is not only carcinogenic, but also closely related to myocardial infarction, stroke, emphysema, gastric ulcer, osteoporosis and other diseases.
This is the best time for you to start quitting smoking.
And smoking juxtaposed category 1 carcinogens and alcohol, its carcinogenicity in the body can be described as a full bloom, from oral cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, to liver cancer, almost including the entire digestive system. Alcohol and female postmenopausal breast cancer also have a certain relationship.
Adult men should drink no more than 25g of alcohol a day and women should not drink more than 15g. Of course, it is best not to drink any alcohol.
A person who prefers meat to vegetables.
Red meat (mainly beef, pork and mutton) caused quite a stir when it was classified as Class 2A carcinogen (with high carcinogenicity possibility).
However, many studies do confirm that large intake of red meat is related to an increased risk of cancers such as colorectal cancer.
In addition, processed meat such as ham, bacon and bacon are classified as Category 1 carcinogens, which means they can definitely cause cancer.
Can we still have good meat?
Don’t worry, meat is still edible. However, pay attention to the amount.
< < Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents > > It is recommended to reduce the intake ratio of pork. It is recommended that adults eat 40-75g of fish, shrimp and aquatic products and 40-75g of livestock and poultry meat on average every day, mainly white meat such as fish and poultry meat.
This amount is probably a piece of meat with a thick finger and a palm. If you eat more than this amount one day, remember to eat less in the next two days.
A person who likes to drink hot soup and tea.
Hot drinks exceeding 65 ℃ may damage the mucous membrane covering the oral cavity and esophagus surface, which may lead to the occurrence of esophageal cancer due to repeated stimulation over time.
[You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry], don’t be too anxious to do things, and don’t be too anxious to eat soup. Before drinking hot drinks, remember to blow it and cool it.
People who stay up late for a long time.
Staying up late can disturb the biological clock, which increases the risk of cancer. For example, a Canadian study found that women who worked night shifts for more than 30 years had a triple risk of breast cancer.
In addition, staying up late for a long time will also bring many health problems, such as the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases has increased.
Sleep early, and try to improve the quality of sleep, sleep soundly.
A sedentary person who does not love sports for a long time.
This makes most white-collar workers who sit in the office and face computers every day not calm down.
Indeed, some studies have found that sedentary people are more likely to get breast cancer and colon cancer.
Similarly, friends who retire at home and spend a long time watching TV on the sofa or playing mahjong at the card table should also pay attention.
After sitting for more than an hour, I remember to move my legs and feet, pour a glass of water and look at the distance. Small changes have definite benefits to your health.
An obese and overweight person
Obesity and overweight are not only often accompanied by dyslipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia, but also associated with cancer.
For example, < < Lancet > > (a very authoritative academic magazine in the medical field) once reported a research data showing that:
Obesity may increase the risk of uterine cancer by 62%, gallbladder cancer by 31% and kidney cancer by 25%.
For some friends, body shape may come second. More importantly, a closer weight to the standard can lead to a healthier body.
Obesity is really not good, do you want to make up your mind to lose weight?
What can be done to prevent cancer?
In addition to the above mentioned, sunscreen is used on weekdays to prevent skin cancer caused by excessive ultraviolet rays.
Female friends should not lavage the vagina frequently and casually with lotion, which will not be healthier. On the contrary, it will lead to infection and even easily lead to changes in flora in the microenvironment and increase inflammation. Long-term inflammatory stimulation may be an important factor for ordinary cells to become cancer cells.
Can we do some what?
Referring to the advice of the World Health Organization, Dr. Clove gave some daily anti-cancer measures that can be taken.
- Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and try not to drink alcohol. Eat more fruits and vegetables, eat a proper amount of meat, mainly white meat, and eat as little processed meat products as possible. Don’t drink too hot a drink; Choose more cooking methods of stewing, boiling, steaming and mixing, and use less heavy frying or frying. Limit salt intake and do not eat moldy food; Adhere to moderate exercise and regular work and rest every day; Keep your weight within the normal range; Reasonable treatment of viral hepatitis, it is recommended to inject hepatitis B, HPV vaccine, pay attention to sun protection; Regular physical examination to find abnormalities as soon as possible.
I hope you are not any of these 6 kinds of people. I hope everyone can improve their daily habits and enjoy life healthily.
