First, give men more red anti-cancer fruits: foods containing lycopene and selenium.
Lycopene is a natural pigment, which mainly exists in ripe tomato fruits. It is a strong antioxidant, which can eliminate free radicals in the human body, so it can reduce the health of men.
Foods rich in selenium include peanuts, sesame seeds and malt. Selenium is a component of peroxidase in human body, which can play an antioxidant role and is an important free radical scavenger, so selenium is also known as the "king of cancer prevention".
Second, five all-around anti-cancer champions every day: non-starch.
Non-starch includes green leafy vegetables, broccoli, eggplant, rape, celery, etc., and is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C.
Dietary fiber can wrap heavy metals, prevent the body from absorbing harmful substances, promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, which is very beneficial to intestinal health; Vitamin C is a good antioxidant, which can block the formation of carcinogens.
Therefore, eating more non-starch vegetables can reduce the incidence of oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. Eat at least 5 servings (at least 400g) of different kinds of non-starch vegetables every day.
Starch vegetables III. Snack station lung cleaner: fruit.
In addition to vitamin C and dietary fiber, fruits also contain some carotenoids. Carotenoids, mainly β-carotene, have antioxidant effect, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body and have protective effect on epithelial cells, especially the inner wall of trachea.
Our lungs can automatically clean up dirt, dust, microorganisms and so on. Breathing into the body depends on the promotion of villi on the trachea. Just like in Gai Lou, bricks are thrown up layer by layer. Once the fluff on the trachea is broken, the cleaning effect of the lungs will decrease, and dirt will accumulate day by day, which will affect the health of the lungs and lead to lung cancer.
Fourth, women choose anti-cancer "small ginseng": carrots.
Carrots are rich in β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body and have the function of maintaining the health of epithelial cells. According to the observation of scientists, the level of β -carotene in the blood of patients with cervical cancer is lower than that of normal people, so the low intake of β -carotene is considered as a risk factor for cervical cancer.
Carrot 5. The less cold-blooded killer at the dinner table: alcoholic drinks.
Alcoholic beverages contain a lot of ethanol, which is metabolized to produce acetaldehyde, which is very harmful to liver cells. The liver is the organ that detoxifies the body. Once its function is affected, it will bring trouble to many other organs. Therefore, alcoholic beverages will increase the risk of oral cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer.
If drinking alcohol, men should not exceed two standard cups (that is, not more than one or two glasses of white wine with a temperature above 50 degrees) and women should not exceed 1 standard cup.
