According to the survey data, there are about 3.8 million new cancer cases and 2.29 million deaths in China every year. Compared with 20 years ago, the total incidence rate of cancer in China has increased by 3.9% per year, and the deaths are also on the rise year by year. Cancer has become one of the killers that jeopardize the health of citizens, and it seriously affects the body, health, and even the life of the nation.
The most prevalent cancers are: lung cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, brain cancer, and pancreatic cancer, which are the 10 major cancers with high morbidity and mortality rates, and are seriously jeopardizing the health of the citizens and lowering the quality of life.
The occurrence of cancer is related to a variety of factors: family history of cancer, personal mood, poor diet, irregular lifestyle, long-term smoking and alcohol abuse, exposure to radioactive gases and drugs, and other factors can increase the incidence of cancer.
01
Why are there more and more people with cancer?
1, population aging
Cancer is actually a disease of the elderly, May 11, 2021, the seventh national census results show that: China's population aged 60 years and older accounted for more than 18% of the total ratio of China's population ageing further deepened.
With age, the body's various tissues and organs will gradually enter the state of aging, the body's immunity is reduced, unable to better resist the invasion of bacteria and viruses, will increase the chance of future cancer, the elderly is the primary target of cancer.
2, sedentary
Nowadays, most people have the habit of being sedentary, sitting in front of the desk all day during the day, and then lying on the sofa or in bed at night playing with the cell phone and watching television.
Long-term sedentary will induce cervical spondylosis, but also increase their own risk of suffering from a variety of chronic diseases, sedentary also lead to varicose veins of the lower extremities, a large number of food residues in the stomach and intestines can not be digested in a timely manner, the metabolism of the body immunity will be reduced, to the opportunity of cancer.
3, often stay up late
Sleep is a prerequisite for maintaining good health, with the development of various electronic devices, more and more people have the bad habit of staying up late, often stay up late will not only damage the eyesight, but also affect the health of the body, so that the body of the endocrine disorders, cellular metabolism, abnormalities, mutations, and increase the risk of cancer in the future.
4, do not pay attention to the physical examination
Regular physical examination test, can help people to find the body of the small disease as early as possible, as early as possible to cure, to prevent the occurrence of malignant diseases, most of the national are lucky, failed to timely medical examination.
Can not go to the hospital for regular checkups, failing to find problems in the first time, to cure, will make the cancer spread invasion eventually induced malignant tumor disease.
5, eat moldy food
Frugality is a traditional Chinese virtue, until now there are still people who can not afford to eat, can not afford to wear, many older people will be moldy food cut off half, eat the rest of the half.
Nutritionists say: as long as the food is moldy, which will generate a large number of aflatoxin, as early as 1993, WHO has been classified as a class of carcinogens aflatoxin, often eat moldy food will increase the body's risk of cancer, serious damage to the body's health.
02
Oncologists: cancer prevention, need to avoid 3 kinds of carcinogens
1st: Nitrites
In 2017, the World Health Organization will be included in the list of strong carcinogens nitrites. In, nitrites are inorganic compounds that are usually added as preservatives to a variety of deep-processed meat foods, for example: cheap steaks sold in supermarkets, salami cured meats and other foods contain large amounts of nitrites.
The intake of food with high nitrite content does not directly increase the risk of cancer, it is asserted that this toxic food into the body, but with the combination of proteins in the stomach and intestines to produce nitrosamines, which are carcinogens that really induce cancer in the human body.
Nitrosamines can cause significant cancer toxicity in the body, increasing the risk of developing oral cancer, esophageal cancer, throat cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, uterine cancer, and many other cancers.
Second: Aflatoxin
Aflatoxin is a toxic carcinogen widely found in cereals, and as early as 1993, the World Health Organization has classified aflatoxin as a primary carcinogen, which is extremely toxic, equivalent to 68 times of arsenic.
Even at a temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius, it is not possible to kill aflatoxin, the body of the continuous intake of 0.1 milligrams of aflatoxin can be obvious toxic reaction, continuous intake of 20 milligrams of aflatoxin can be caused by the death of the life of a lot of moldy food contains a lot of aflatoxin.
Once accidentally ingested food containing aflatoxin, it can lead to liver enlargement, liver necrosis, kidney failure, and permanent irreversible damage to the liver leading to liver cancer.
Foods containing aflatoxin include: long soaked fungus, moldy and spoiled nuts, all kinds of damp coarse grains, rotten steamed buns or fruits, sprouted sweet potatoes, etc., all of which contain a lot of aflatoxin, so avoid eating them for the sake of your health.
The third kind: benzo(a)pyrene
Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogen recognized by nature, often found in a variety of barbecue, smoked and high-temperature fried food, benzo(a)pyrene has a very strong damaging effect on the organs, which can make the tissues and organs undergo a special physiological manifestations such as functional pathologies and cellular malformations.
For the sake of health, please eat less barbecue food in daily life, especially in the hot summer, must eat less barbecue and smoky substances, do not give health to find trouble.
03
Cancer cells are afraid of 2 kinds of alkaline food, you can usually eat more
carrot
Carrots are a common vegetable in our life, many people do not know is that it is an alkaline vegetable that has anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects.
Relevant studies have found that frequent constipation is very high probability of colorectal cancer, long-term constipation can not be the body's waste toxins out of the body normally, with the passage of time fecal residues in the body of the material is the body's secondary absorption cycle, which will cause a huge burden on the body.
Eat 1 to 2 carrots a day, can play a laxative effect, carrots contain nutrients can also protect the liver health, improve liver regeneration and repair function, prevent the incidence of digestive tract cancer.
Monkey mushrooms
Monkey mushrooms and other fungal foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, containing a variety of sugar substances and antibacterial active agents, can help the body to enhance the immune system, lymphoma, intestinal cancer, and other cancers have a good inhibition effect.
Monkey mushrooms are rich in selenium, which is rarely found in other foods. Eating some in moderation can meet the body's need for selenium, improve gastrointestinal digestive function, alleviate the problem of digestive tract stagnation, and effectively prevent the occurrence of digestive tract cancers.
