Perhaps you also found that the word esophageal cancer appears more and more in your eyes and ears. Indeed, cancer is becoming more and more common now. On the one hand, this is due to the increase in life expectancy. Many people died before they got cancer. On the other hand, it can also be attributed to modern living habits and diet, because people's living conditions have improved, and diet has begun to attach importance to meat instead of vegetables. 1 chemical substances cause nitrosamines, acetaldehyde, aflatoxins, etc. They are all confirmed carcinogens, and a large amount of nitrite in pickled food will be converted into nitrosamines in the body. Acetaldehyde mainly exists in decoration materials, such as paint. Aflatoxin mainly exists in moldy food, so try to avoid these carcinogens in life. The high mortality rate of esophageal cancer is mainly distributed in Henan, Hebei and Shanxi due to geographical reasons; North Sichuan; Northern Guangdong; Subei and other places. It is found that the origin of this regional difference is related to local eating habits. For example, people in Henan like to eat sauerkraut, while people in the northwest mainly eat meat. 3 Genetic causes Esophageal cancer also has the trend of family aggregation. If a close relative has esophageal cancer, then your chances of suffering from this disease will be higher than that of ordinary people. Vitamin deficiency studies have confirmed that the lack of certain vitamins in the body is one of the causes of esophageal cancer, such as riboflavin, vitamin A, zinc and molybdenum. Zinc deficiency will lead to the decrease of enzyme activity and immunity in the body, which will lead to the increase of cancer rate. The results of epidemiological investigation show that the serum molybdenum, hair molybdenum and urine molybdenum of the population in the high incidence area of esophageal cancer are below normal values. Eat hot food often and reach the stomach through the esophagus. Eating too hot food will cause mucosal epithelium when passing through esophagus, causing pain, bleeding and ulceration. Research shows that most patients with esophageal cancer have the habit of eating hot food. Another study pointed out that if the food exceeds 80 degrees, the esophageal mucosa epithelium is prone to irregular proliferation, injury and necrosis, which will increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Now that we know the cause of esophageal cancer, how to prevent it? In fact, it's very simple. We have to start with our usual eating and living habits. 1 Eat less pickled food. Nitrate and nitrite in pickled food that East Asians like to cook decompose and combine with protein to form nitrosamines. China, Japan and South Korea all have the habit of pickling food, which is one of the reasons why esophageal cancer and gastric cancer are more common in these areas than in other places. 2 drink less. Many people think that moderate drinking is good for health. However, this is just a misunderstanding, and wine itself is listed as a first-class carcinogen. Alcohol will not only increase the risk of esophageal cancer, but also increase nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer and so on. To make matters worse, alcohol is more harmful to East Asians. 36% of East Asians blush when drinking. This is the lack of an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol, which converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, thus turning the skin red. Smoking less cigarettes is not only tobacco, but also more complicated than imagined. They contain many carcinogens and heavy metals. Lighting a cigarette is even more terrible, it will produce 7000 chemicals, including 69 carcinogens. It can cause lung cancer, oral cancer and laryngeal cancer. We've all heard a lot. In fact, it can also cause esophageal cancer. Don't drink hot water. Esophageal cancer can become the third largest cancer in China, and the most important factor is the love of hot water. Drinking more hot water is not a good way to keep fit, but it will cause esophageal cancer. According to research, people who drink hot water above 65 degrees Celsius for a long time have an eight-fold increase in the risk of esophageal cancer. 5 Work and rest on time In addition to the above, good work and rest habits can also reduce the risk of cancer such as esophageal cancer. If you stay up late for a long time, the body's biological clock will be disrupted, normal cell division will be prone to errors, and the probability of cell mutation will increase. References:
