1, carcinogenic eating habits
Sugar. Some people say that sugar will "nourish" cancer cells. Although this statement is not accurate, high-sugar diet is indeed related to cancer. Swedish scientists have followed up 80,000 people for 9 years and found that excessive intake of sugar, sweet drinks, jam and other foods will increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Eating sugar will lead to a large amount of insulin secretion, damage the function of islet, and become one of the potential factors to induce pancreatic cancer. Researchers in The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA, found earlier this year that eating a lot of sugar in a typical western diet increases the risk of breast cancer and cancer metastasis to the lungs. The World Health Organization suggests that the daily sugar intake should be controlled within 50 grams, preferably not more than 25 grams.
Very sexy. On June 15, a new study released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer showed that overheated drinks (such as coffee and tea) may cause esophageal cancer. "Overheating" means that the temperature of the beverage is above 65℃. It should be noted that drinking coffee and tea itself will not cause cancer, just don't drink it too hot. People in China pay special attention to eating while it is hot, but overheated food will damage the esophageal mucosa. In the long run, repeated chronic injury to mucosa may lead to chronic inflammation, thus increasing the possibility of canceration. Epidemiological studies have found that Chaoshan people who like to drink kung fu tea and raw porridge, Taihang mountain residents who like to drink big bowls of hot porridge, and Kazak people in Xinjiang who often drink boiled milk tea are all high-risk groups of esophageal cancer and gastric and cardiac cancer. It is recommended not to eat hot food, not to drink boiled water and hot tea directly, and it is best to drink it after cooling. Be careful when eating stuffed buns, fried buns and other foods.
Salty salt is also related to cancer. One of the main reasons for the high incidence of gastric cancer in Japan is excessive salt intake. Eating too salty will lead to chronic damage of gastric mucosal barrier, and long-term eating will increase the susceptibility to carcinogens and lead to gastric cancer. Food should be light but not salty. It is suggested that the total daily salt intake should be less than 6 grams, and at the same time, pay attention to
Use less "invisible salts" such as soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and seasonings. People with heavy tastes should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, which helps to block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitroso compounds.
Pickling. Dried fish, fish sauce, bacon, sausage, pickles and other pickled foods have unique flavors, but these foods often contain a lot of nitrate, which will be converted into nitrite in the stomach, and then combined with the amine in the food to form ammonium nitrite, which has strong carcinogenicity and will increase the probability of canceration of digestive organs such as stomach, intestine and pancreas. A study by the American Cancer Institute.
A report jointly published by the Institute and the World Cancer Research Foundation shows that eating bacon and other processed meat products will increase the risk of lower abdominal cancer, such as colorectal cancer. Eating 50 grams of processed meat products every day (equivalent to a hot dog) will increase the risk of cancer in the lower abdomen by 18%. Most of these processed meats are made by pickling. It is suggested to eat fresh vegetables and meat as much as possible and reduce the intake of pickled food.
It's smoking In summer, people prefer to eat kebabs, and smoked foods such as bacon, smoked fish, ham and dried beans are also deeply loved by the public. In the production of smoked food, a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons will be produced when the fuel is not completely burned, which have different carcinogenicity, and benzopyrene, a strong carcinogen, is one of them. Eating roast beef, roast duck, roast mutton and other smoked foods is prone to esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. In addition, the baked food is mainly meat, and excessive intake of animal food will affect intestinal metabolism and increase the risk of intestinal cancer.
Oil. On the one hand, "oil" here refers to high-fat food. A recent research report published in Nature magazine shows that obesity, high-fat and high-calorie diet are risk factors for many kinds of cancers. High-fat diet will drive intestinal stem cells to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into other types of cells, which is easy to cause intestinal tumors. On the other hand, it refers to fried foods, such as fried dough sticks, oil cakes and stinky tofu, which often produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons when fried. Especially the repeatedly fried oil contains more carcinogens.
Wine. Studies have shown that excessive drinking is closely related to liver cancer; People who often drink beer or other alcoholic beverages have a high incidence of colon cancer; A recent report in the United States shows that the risk of gastric cancer is positively correlated with the amount of alcohol consumed. The China Cancer Foundation suggests that men should not drink more than 20-30g and women should not drink more than10-15g every day.
Mildew. Due to the humid weather or improper preservation, peanuts, corn, rice, sorghum and other foods are easy to get wet, and then contaminated by mold, resulting in mycotoxins with carcinogenic effects. This toxin is one of the most carcinogenic substances known at present, and it is closely related to liver cancer. It is suggested that everyone learn to store food reasonably to prevent damp and mildew.
It's smoking It has become common knowledge that smoking can cause cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and other diseases. Besides quitting smoking, the smoke here also includes lampblack. China people like frying, frying, frying and other high-temperature cooking methods also need to be improved. They are prone to produce a large amount of soot, mixed with alkanes, inhalable particles like PM2.5 and other carcinogens, which will increase the risk of lung cancer. It is recommended that you adopt healthy cooking methods such as cooking, avoid excessive oil temperature when cooking, control the heat and time, and turn on the range hood.
Lazy. Many people are too lazy to cook, like to eat ham, sausages and other processed foods, and some people are used to eating out, which easily leads to excessive intake of oil and salt and cancer risk. It is normal for many people to eat their last meal hot and make do with it, but leftovers often have the risk of carcinogen nitrite. It is suggested to eat regularly and quantitatively, eat fresh food and try not to eat leftovers. In addition, being lazy to exercise will also increase the risk of cancer.
Tips:
In order to avoid being entangled in cancer, we should stay away from these ten words in life and do the following.
1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. The World Cancer Research Foundation pointed out that there is sufficient evidence that vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of cancers such as oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. Eat 300 to 500 grams of vegetables and 200 to 350 grams of fruit every day.
2. Control your food intake. Japanese studies have found that eating too much will reduce the activity of cancer suppressor and increase the risk of cancer.
3. chew slowly. Chewing slowly can gradually enrich the stomach and avoid satiety. Chewing slowly also helps all kinds of enzymes in saliva to fully contact with food, decompose carcinogens and reduce the burden on the stomach. It is best to chew every bite of food 30 times before swallowing it.
2. What foods can prevent cancer?
Can drinking soybean milk cause cancer? Do you believe it?
Experts pointed out that soy products are one of the main sources of protein for women in China, while women in the United States rarely eat soy products, so the impact of the difference in soy products intake on the prognosis of breast cancer has attracted the interest of researchers in China and the United States. Experts said that among the patients who participated in the survey, 5042 were breast cancer patients in China. Since 2002, the center has been following up these patients until June 2009. In the study, they found that patients with the highest soy protein intake had a 29% lower risk of death and a 32% lower risk of breast cancer recurrence than those with the lowest soy protein intake. The investigation team clearly found that the intake of soy products can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence and death of breast cancer.
In other words, drinking soybean milk will not only cause cancer, but also reduce the recurrence of breast cancer, so everyone can eat it with confidence. In fact, there are many low-cost and nutritious foods like soybean milk in life, which also have the same anti-cancer effect. Below, Bian Xiao collected some for you.
1, anti-cancer food: corn
Make sure to eat a corn every day. Corn can not only prevent and treat diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and urinary calculi, but also has anti-cancer effect. According to American medical certification, corn contains a lot of amino acids, which has a significant effect on inhibiting cancer. In addition, glutathione in corn, with the participation of selenium, generates glutathione oxidase, which can also inactivate chemical carcinogens. Bian Xiao thinks this can explain why many long-lived old people are healthy without eating nutritious food. The powerful function and improved taste of corn make us have to love it.
2, anti-cancer food: sour plum
You should always eat sour plums. Mume can enhance the phagocytosis of white blood cells and improve the immune function of the body, which is helpful to treat penile cancer and cervical cancer. Women should eat more, which can be used as snacks and prevent diseases, killing two birds with one stone.
3. Anti-cancer food: beef
Make sure you can eat beef more than three times a week. A microbial research team pointed out that beef contains a component that can inhibit the activity of carcinogens, thus playing a role in preventing cancer. It is expected to extract new anticancer drugs from beef. This is Bian Xiao's favorite. Although the price is a bit expensive, its exquisiteness is still worth spending money on. The existence of anticancer substances will also increase our love for him.
4. Anti-cancer food: hairtail
Ensure that you can eat hairtail more than once a week. Modern medical research has confirmed that the silvery white fine scales of hairtail contain a lot of protein, inorganic salts and oils, which are the main raw materials for the synthesis of anti-cancer drug Thiguanine, and are also effective drugs for the treatment of acute leukemia and other cancers. I haven't found hairtail has such a powerful function before, so I should eat more in the future.
5, anti-cancer food: jellyfish
Ensure that you can eat jellyfish more than once a week. The jellyfish extracted by scientists from jellyfish have special physiological functions and have strong pharmacological effects in antibacterial, antiviral and anticancer aspects.
6, anti-cancer food: mushrooms
You can eat mushrooms at least twice a week. It is a kind of healthy food with anticancer effect, the most prominent of which is Lentinus edodes. Because lentinan can enhance cellular immunity and humoral immunity, similar to invigorating qi. Eating more is not easy to catch cold and cancer; Among them, Hericium erinaceus was made into Hericium erinaceus slices by China Drug Farm, which was used to prevent and treat gastric cancer and esophageal cancer, with an effective rate of 69. 3%, the effective rate is 15%. You can add mushrooms to your weekly diet, which is a good choice, delicious and healthy.
7. anti-cancer food: onion
Make sure to eat onion dishes more than three times a week. Animal experiments show that this vegetable, including garlic and scallion, can prevent colon cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer. The sulfide contained in it can activate human immune function and interfere with the spread of cancer cells, thus helping to overcome cancer. Although onion can make us cry, it tastes good. In many western foods, onions are used as ingredients. In view of its powerful function, we can eat more.
8. anti-cancer food: apples
Make sure to eat an apple every day. According to the research, the VC contained in apples can hinder the production of nitrosamines, destroy some enzyme activities produced in the process of cancer cell proliferation, and even transform the generated cancer cells into normal cells. That's why there is an English proverb "Anappleadaykeepsthedoctoraway". Apple has high nutritional value and medical value, and is called "the first medicine for gentlemen" by more and more people. Many Americans think that apples are a necessity to lose weight. They go on a diet one day a week and eat apples on this day, which is called "Apple Day".
Further reading: How to eat meat to prevent cancer?
Many people like to eat cooked meat. No matter what kind of meat you eat, the worse the stew, the better. Because, at the temperature of 200℃ ~ 300℃, amino acids, creatine liver, sugar and harmless compounds in meat will react chemically to form aromatic amino groups, which contain 12 compounds, 9 of which have carcinogenic effects. Therefore, it is best not to eat overcooked meat, and remind family members to thoroughly cook it when they are in cook the meat, and not to cook it for too long.
Stewed meat is easy to cause cancer if it is cooked for too long, so it won't cause cancer if you don't cook it for too long? It's not that simple. If you want to eat meat and don't want to cause cancer, you have to learn to eat like this.
1, rosemary red meat helps prevent cancer.
When food is heated to 190℃ to 204℃, the antioxidant in rosemary helps to reduce the content of carcinogenic cyclic amines, because the antioxidant in herb can absorb harmful free radicals in meat.
2. Tomatoes and avocados prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a very bright antioxidant carotenoid that can prevent cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The fat in avocados can make the absorption of carotenoids more effective.
3. Broccoli and tomatoes prevent prostate cancer.
Both tomatoes and broccoli can prevent the growth of tumors, and the combined effect of them may be stronger.
Blueberries and grapes are antioxidants
Antioxidants in mixed fruits are more effective than those in single fruits. Eating more fruits every day is much more effective than buying expensive supplements.
5. Soybeans and salmon treat cancer
Isoflavone genistein in soybean can inhibit the growth of enzymes in colon and prostate and increase the bioavailability of vitamin D in these tissues. Vitamin D can treat cancer. Salmon and tuna are rich in vitamin D. Don't forget to put a plate of edamame beside them when eating fish.
6. Eggs and cantaloupes prevent diabetes
Eating protein food containing beneficial sugar will slow down the absorption of sugar and help to minimize glucose and blood sugar, thus reducing the incidence of diseases such as inflammation, diabetes and cancer.
7. Turmeric and pepper are anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor.
Curcumin in Curcuma longa used in curry has anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Adding pepper to turmeric can increase the bioavailability of curcumin by 1000 times.
