Betel nut is addictive, so it won't stop when chewing, so people's chewing muscles will get very good exercise slowly, so the chewing muscles will become more developed. The development of masticatory muscles will make people's face wider and bigger, which will make people's face change greatly and affect a person's face value.

In addition, long-term chewing will increase the load of temporomandibular joint, causing joint snapping and pain. In severe cases, it will also lead to perforation of the articular disc. As a carcinogen, long-term chewing will lead to oral submucosal fibrosis and irreversible damage to the oral cavity, which may lead to oral cancer in the long run.
People who chew betel nut for a long time will develop oral mucosa whitening and hardening, and then develop into oral mucosa fibrosis, resulting in limited mouth opening, tongue sticking out, blisters, ulcers, leukoplakia and lichen planus in the mouth, and eventually cancer may occur. Oral mucosal fibrosis is a precancerous disease with a canceration probability of 5%. Buccal cancer, tongue cancer and gingival cancer are all transformed from this disease.
This process can be long or short, ranging from a few months to more than ten years for the elderly. In addition, oral submucosal fibrosis, oral lichen planus, oral leukoplakia and other mucosal diseases may also cause cancer. If there are signs of chronic oral ulcer with white spots and dark spots on the oral mucosa, you should go to the hospital in time to check out the possibility of oral cancer.
What does eat areca do with 2 1? Is eat areca addicted?

What is the male eat areca doing? 3 the harm of betel nut.
Often eat areca has no amorous feelings and is in danger.
Areca catechu is a subtropical and tropical plant, mainly distributed in Central Africa and Southeast Asia. China's Hainan and Taiwan Province provinces are widely planted, and Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces are also planted, and the betel nut consumption market is dominated by these provinces. After Hansen Simi Tang was exposed to the first-class carcinogen betel nut, some netizens in Weibo questioned the report: "The first-class carcinogen betel nut refers to tobacco fruit, that is, betel nut in Hunan Province, which contains a lot of additives and is harmful to the mouth, while Simi Tang is made of green fruit, which is obviously confusing."
At present, there are three kinds of betel nut on the market: green betel nut, smoked betel nut and Taiwan Province betel nut. Betel nut with green fruit is soft and sweet, and it tastes good without smoking. Smoked betel nut is a kind of betel nut in Kaoru Miki, and Hunan market is basically the world of smoked fruit; Areca catechu in Taiwan Province Province is a fresh seed betel nut, which has a big market in Taiwan Province Province, but it is hard to see in mainland China.
According to the definition of "betel nut" in Chinese Wikipedia, in 2003, betel nut was certified as a first-class carcinogen by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), which proved that even betel nut without any additives may cause cancer. From the current research at home and abroad, the exact carcinogenicity of betel nut is mainly manifested in increasing the incidence of oral cancer, and whether betel nut will increase the incidence of digestive tract cancer, breast cancer and other cancers is still in the stage of speculation and exploration.
Why areca nut is a first-class carcinogen?
Are you still in eat areca? Experts said: 60% of patients with oral cancer are related to eat areca, and as early as 2003, the International Center for Research on Cancer put Areca nut on the "blacklist", which is a first-class carcinogen with tobacco, alcohol and arsenic.
What is betel nut? At present, there are three kinds of betel nut on the market: green betel nut, smoked betel nut and Taiwan Province betel nut. Betel nut with green fruit is soft and sweet, and it tastes good without smoking. Smoked betel nut is a kind of betel nut in Kaoru Miki, and Hunan market is basically the world of smoked fruit; Areca catechu in Taiwan Province Province is a fresh seed betel nut, which has a big market in Taiwan Province Province, but it is hard to see in mainland China.
Betel nut containing tobacco can cause oral cancer, pharyngeal cancer and esophageal cancer, and betel nut without tobacco can also cause oral cancer. Areca nut contained in various areca nut products can cause a precancerous lesion of oral cavity (oral submucosal fibrosis), which may turn into cancer at any time. After chewing the chemicals in betel nut, the nitroso formed is a clear carcinogen. In addition, betel nut is hard, and it is easy to cause mechanical trauma to oral mucosa when chewing.
Causes of cancer caused by betel nut:
Physical injury: when chewing betel nut, the friction of betel nut fiber will cause local trauma and mucosal injury of oral mucosa. Chewing betel nut for a long time will lead to prolonged injury time, local chronic injury, chronic inflammation, enhanced oxidation and cell proliferation. Studies have shown that the frequency of oral mucosal cells shedding of betel nut chewers has increased significantly.
Biotoxicity: Areca catechu contains a lot of polyphenols and alkaloids, among which arecoline is the most important component, accounting for about 1% of the dry weight of Areca catechu. Arecoline can obviously promote epithelial cell apoptosis and interfere with the precipitation and degradation of extracellular matrix macromolecules (collagen, elastin, etc.). ). In addition, betel nut chewed flowers and lime also have certain genotoxicity. Mainly due to the interaction of nitrosamines, clove polyphenols and active oxidants.
Promoting cancer by smoking: chewing betel nut alone can obviously promote the occurrence of oral cancer, while betel nut lovers who smoke at the same time have a higher probability of developing oral cancer. Smoking itself is also an independent risk factor for oral cancer. Studies have shown that chewing betel nut containing tobacco will obviously increase the toxic substances in saliva and obviously destroy the process of DNA synthesis in cells.
