Why is the prevalence of liver cancer so high? Let me tell you the following case first.
Li Ran, an old professor of cardiovascular diseases, attaches great importance to physical health, and also teaches the skills of keeping in good health to his children, who also inherit his father's way of studying medicine. His son is a medical lecturer in the school and his daughter is a nurse in the hospital. A small family that was originally very happy has changed because of an accident. Li Ran's wife was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. When the doctor told them, they didn't believe this fact at all, especially Li Ran. He thought he was a doctor. How could he not notice his wife's physical problems? Later, he saw the report and accepted it silently!
Mrs Li Ran usually cares about her family, has a slightly relaxed job and lives frugally. She handles all the leftovers and then gives her husband and children fresh food. The doctor said that this may be the cause of the disease. Of course, genetic factors are not excluded, because my father-in-law also died of liver cancer.
According to relevant data, these four types of people are high-risk groups of liver health.
1. Like to eat supper.
In order to save money, some people always put the leftovers of the next day in the microwave oven and take them out to eat. Before eating, they didn't see if the food had gone bad. They think it's okay to put them in the refrigerator. But sometimes when the weather is hot, food may be mildewed before it is put into the refrigerator, and it will contain aflatoxin, which is a carcinogen. If you eat too much, it will accumulate in the liver, destroy your own stem cell tissue and lead to cancer.
2. I am a patient with liver cirrhosis.
If people with liver cirrhosis are themselves, their chances of developing liver cancer are more than twice that of ordinary people. Although it takes some time for liver cirrhosis to turn into liver cancer, it also needs special attention. Studies have found that most patients with liver cancer begin with cirrhosis. When you are diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, remember to take good care of your health and go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid the disease from dragging on and turning into liver cancer.
3. Love drinking and have a history of alcoholism
It's okay to drink some wine. The problem is that many people don't like to drink a little wine, but have a bad habit of drinking too much. They should be full at once. Alcohol itself is not good for the body, of course, it can only alleviate the fatigue of the body. If you have the habit of drinking for a long time, it will lead to liver cell damage, liver cirrhosis, and even liver cancer in severe cases.
4. There may be genetic factors.
Of course, genetic factors can not be ignored, no matter what diseases may be caused by heredity. Liver cancer is no exception. If there are patients with liver cancer in the family history, the chances of developing liver cancer in future generations will be much higher. However, not necessarily, it will still be related to the patient's own living habits and eating rules.
What should I do to nourish and protect the liver? Do the following three things, cancer will not be easy to approach!
1. Regular physical examination
Do a good physical examination at ordinary times, and don't wait for the problem to happen before treatment. Prevention is better than cure. It is the most responsible thing for yourself to have a regular cancer screening and find out the condition in time. Don't be reluctant to spend money, because physical examination is really necessary.
stop smoking and refrain from drinking
Smoking is very harmful to the liver, because harmful substances contained in tobacco can directly harm human liver cells. The liver itself is used to expel toxins from our bodies, but smoking has caused a greater burden on the operation of the liver. It is also not recommended to drink more. Alcohol can destroy stem cells and increase the risk of liver cancer. Temperance is good for health.
Keep a positive mood.
Mood affects health. This sentence makes sense. If you are in the negative mood of anxiety and depression for a long time, your health will get worse because your mood affects the detoxification function of your liver. In a bad mood, it is easy to stagnate liver qi and damage liver health.
