In this world, perhaps no one really likes drinking hot tea, eating hot dishes and eating hot meals more than people in China!
Our habit is to drink smoking hot water, eat boiling hot pot, sip boiling tea, burn it to the throat, spit it out, blow it and continue to drink.
This is a culture, as if only a cup of hot tea can express the enthusiasm of the host, and guests are not shy to leave after drinking a cup of hot tea.
Also, our traditional medicine believes that hot things have their own healing effects, and drinking hot water seems to cure all diseases. Many people are warned not to drink cold water. But drink hot water and eat it while it is hot ... you are not keeping in good health at all, but raising "cancer"!
Advise people to drink hot water and eat it while it is hot. You are trying to persuade people to get cancer!
According to the research report published in the latest issue of The Lancet Oncology by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization, drinking hot drinks above 65℃ will increase the risk of esophageal cancer. In fact, not only hot drinks, but also hot food can do the same harm.
This situation is probably related to the prevalence of kungfu tea in Chaoshan area. Tea making pays attention to "boiling water" and tea drinking pays attention to "boiling water".
The incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer in China rank first!
You may not know that the symptoms of esophageal cancer are often difficult to detect, and it is only found in the late stage, so the mortality rate is very high, and the overall 5-year survival rate is only 17% (you know that the 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer, the king of cancer, is the lowest, only 9.9%).
China has the highest incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer. Half of esophageal cancer occurs in China, and the incidence rate of male is higher than that of female, with a ratio of about 2: 1.
This is closely related to China's eating habits. Old people in China like to drink hot tea, while young people like to eat hot mala Tang and chafing dish.
The digestive tract is a stupid organ!
Compared with other organs, the esophagus and stomach in the digestive tract are "stupid organs", and you often don't know it after being burned. For example, when you burn your mouth while eating, many people will swallow it quickly, thinking that it will not burn. This is because compared with the oral cavity, the esophagus is not sensitive to temperature, and even if it is burned, it does not feel much.
According to digestive experts, the "sensitivity" of the human body to digestive organs such as esophagus and stomach is relatively poor, and we are not easy to detect tiny lesions. Many people often have dysphagia and esophageal stenosis, and it is only after examination that it is found to be esophageal cancer.
Therefore, many people in China like to eat hot food, such as freshly brewed tea, freshly cooked jiaozi, and newly fished meat from hot pot ... Every mouthful of hot food will do harm to the esophagus and stomach, but you have no idea. Even some people especially like this feeling of "hot mouth and warm stomach". If one day you really feel abnormal in your esophagus, it may be too late.
Eat cold well!
Many people worry that eating cold food will upset the stomach, so they give their children hot food from an early age, thus forming the habit of eating hot food. In fact, sometimes eating cold food is a kind of protection for the digestive tract and stomach.
Many times, things are very hot and may be eaten. Finally, my mouth is full of hot bubbles. In fact, if you eat it while it is hot, you may not be able to eat delicious food. You might say it tastes better when it's cold. In fact, as long as the temperature is moderate, generally there will be no gastrointestinal discomfort, gastrointestinal discomfort and other phenomena.
So what is the appropriate temperature for eating and drinking? According to experts, the most suitable temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, and our lips just feel warm. In fact, this is the most appropriate. When eating at ordinary times, don't worry too much, just let it go, let it cool, take a sip with your mouth and don't feel hot.
