As the saying goes, the disease comes from the mouth, always eat unhealthy food, the diet structure is not scientific, there is no good eating habits, people are prone to disease.
But many people have not heard of the saying "illness comes from the mouth", and even if they have heard of it, many people think that he is too exaggerated, can't believe it, or doubts it.
In fact, there is a scientific basis for this conclusion, and scientists have done a lot of research to prove it.
What is the scientific basis for "cancer coming in from the mouth"?
According to the "Diet, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer" report, an unhealthy diet increases the risk of cancer.
A similar report in Nature Communications systematically reviewed 860 observational studies and concluded that food was associated with many primary malignancies.
There are many factors associated with an increased risk of cancer. Alcohol consumption has been linked to mortality from liver, colorectal and lung cancers, wine has been linked to breast cancer risk, processed meat has been linked to rectal and lung cancer risk, and pickled foods have been linked to stomach cancer.
I believe that many people here will have such doubts, whether they can no longer eat processed meat products, whether they can no longer eat pickled foods. Don't worry, it is generally only long-term overdose that increases the risk of cancer.
Which dietary habits are accomplices to cancer?
1, eating too fast
There are many people who have such a eating habit, that is, as soon as they eat, they will gobble up and eat quickly. This eating habit is unhealthy.
Eating too fast, not chewing food well, will damage the esophageal mucosa and gastric mucosa, produce great mechanical stimulation to the esophageal mucosa, and may become cancerous after a long time.
2, like to eat hot food
Now there are still many people who insist on eating while hot, thinking that it is very healthy to eat in this way. The opposite is true. Eating hot food for a long time can burn the mucous membrane of the esophagus.
After all, the mucous membranes of the esophagus can only withstand temperatures below 65 ° C. Generally, the temperature of the food just fished out of the pot will be higher than 65 ° C.
If you eat such hot food all the time, the mucous membrane of the esophagus will be burned repeatedly and repeatedly repair itself. In this process, cancer is prone to occur.
3. Long-term excessive alcohol consumption
Alcohol is a carcinogen, and many people don't know this. If you always drink too much, there is a great risk of cancer.
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, and long-term excessive alcohol consumption is a high risk factor for liver cancer. In addition to liver cancer, it is also closely related to stomach cancer, oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, etc., which will increase the incidence of these cancers.
4. Long-term intake of a large amount of red meat and processed meat products
Red meat corresponds to white meat, which refers to the meat of livestock such as beef, mutton, and pork. Processed meat refers to processed meat such as bacon and ham.
Long-term high intake of red and processed meat can increase the risk of colon cancer by 30 to 50 percent.
5, always overeating
Overeating is not a healthy eating habit, and long-term overeating can cause great harm to the gastrointestinal tract.
It will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and may also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, or inflammation, which over time may lead to cancer.
What are the recommendations for diet to prevent cancer?
If you want to prevent cancer, you can start with diet. Adhere to a varied diet every day, fully consume various nutrients, and eat more plant foods, such as vegetables and fruits.
Eat regularly, do not overeat, scientifically control calorie intake, scientifically control weight, and do not be obese. It is best not to drink alcohol, and even less to drink too much.
Patients who like to eat meat can eat more white meat, such as chicken, fish, shrimp, etc., and can eat red meat, but do not eat a lot for a long time.
Eat less pickled foods and eat more natural foods. It's best to cook at home, don't eat out too often, and try not to participate in too many recreational activities.
Whether it is "disease from the mouth" or "cancer from the mouth", it reflects the impact of diet on health. Unhealthy eating habits and dietary structure can bring health problems.
I hope that everyone can correctly understand this point and do a good job in prevention in diet, especially to prevent cancer.
