Nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day! Reminder: If you want to live a long life, these 4 kinds of foods should be avoided early
Cancer is a terrible disease.
Common cancers include lung cancer, stomach cancer, blood cancer, colon cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oral cancer, etc...
They will lead to continuous malignant transformation of cells, continuous division, continuous erosion of the human body, and finally deprive people of life.
As long as people talk about cancer, their hearts will become extremely heavy. With the development of society, more and more people suffer from cancer.
As of 2017, there were 24.5 million new cancer diagnoses worldwide and 9.6 million deaths due to cancer. This means that nearly 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day.
The reason for developing cancer may be related to factors such as living habits, environmental pollution, heredity, chronic stimuli, etc. To prevent cancer, we must actively avoid these factors.
Which foods are at risk for cancer?
- Betel nut
Betel nut has a variety of nutritional elements, including fatty oils, alkaloids, amino acids, minerals and phenolic compounds, which can help the human body to sterilize and kill insects, promote qi and water, strengthen the stomach and digest food, and treat malaria.
Most people in coastal areas have the habit of chewing betel nut, but eating betel nut for a long time is more likely to cause oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and intestinal and gastric cancer.
According to research, people who chew betel nut are about 20 times more likely to suffer from oral cancer than the average person. It can be seen that betel nut is not a food suitable for long-term chewing.
- Pickled food
Pickled foods mainly include bacon, sausages, sauerkraut, salted fish, etc. During the pickling process, a large amount of salt is added to make the food last longer.
But these foods contain a carcinogen called nitrite.
Long-term consumption of large quantities will cause the human body to be repeatedly stimulated, the activity of hemoglobin and white blood cells in the blood will decrease, and the decline of the human immune system will easily lead to cancer.
- Fried and BBQ food
Speaking of fried steak, fried chicken legs, barbecue are all people's favorite food.
This type of food will be made to be salty, spicy and irritating. Occasionally eating it once or twice will not cause much impact on the body. Long-term consumption of large quantities will easily cause the body to consume too much fat.
The stomach will also be repeatedly stimulated by food to cause various digestive system diseases, and the food eaten outside has hidden health risks. The edible oil and food used are not necessarily fresh. Among them, fried food may also produce a kind of acrylamide called acrylamide. The toxins also increase the risk of cancer in the body.
- Moldy and spoiled food
Under normal circumstances, anyone should avoid eating overnight, spoiled food to avoid gastrointestinal problems.
In particular, some nuts, corn, rice, bean paste, peanut butter and other foods should be discarded directly after they become moldy, because aflatoxin may be produced in such foods.
This is a notorious carcinogen, it is very toxic, 68 times that of arsenic, and the toxin cannot be eliminated by high temperature.
If people accidentally eat food with aflatoxin, it will greatly increase the risk of developing cancers such as liver cancer and stomach cancer.
Of course, regardless of the above, there are also smoking, alcohol, etc., which can also cause cancer.
However, eating once or twice once in a while is not a big deal, as long as you avoid long-term consumption or eat large amounts each time.
Naturally, it is not enough to do this alone. Usually, it is necessary to strengthen physical exercise, scientific diet, regular work and rest, and maintain an optimistic attitude towards life, so as to enhance the ability to resist diseases, in order to reduce the number of illnesses and make one live longer.
