The continent is a major country with liver cancer, with a 25.7/10 million incidence of liver cancer on the mainland, accounting for about half of the total number of patients worldwide, according to WHO data in 2015.
In general, most of the people with high incidence of liver cancer are middle-aged and elderly people after the age of 40, more men than women, the early symptoms are not obvious, and in most cases, the advanced diseases are more prominent.
We need to pay attention to the fact that the liver is the metabolic center of the human body, so it is most susceptible to the harm of bad metabolic products in food, so 3 kinds of food is not recommended to eat more, the following to understand.
First, foods containing nitrites
Mainly including kimchi, fermented pancakes, salted fish, etc., these foods contain more nitrate, eat more, nitrite can form nitrosamines in the stomach, and become a reinforced carcinogen, can lead to liver cancer.
Therefore, in the process of food selection, freshly pickled vegetables should not be eaten more, nor can they be eaten prematurely.
Second, alcoholic beverages
Alcohol can cause cirrhosis of the liver and is also an important cause of liver cancer, and related studies have found that ingesting 10 grams of alcohol per day increases the incidence of liver cancer by 4%, and drinkers are 2.58 times more likely to develop liver cancer than non-drinkers.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Mainland Residents, adult men should not drink more than 25 grams per day, and adult women should not drink more than 15 grams per day. Taking wine as an example, men can drink 221 ml per day and women can drink 135 ml.
Third, moldy food
Aflatoxin is an important cause of liver cancer, mainly in moldy foods, such as corn, peanuts and dried sweet potatoes moldy, must not eat, need to throw it into the garbage bin immediately. If you do not pay attention to these aspects, the possibility of inducing liver cancer is very high.
The above 3 kinds of food must pay more attention, especially people with poor liver function, should understand some ways to maintain liver health.
First, eat more liver-protecting foods
In ancient and modern medicine, there is a valuable medical ingredient, that is, ganoderma lucidum grown in the forest, which absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and its medicinal value is higher than that of ordinary ganoderma lucidum.
In addition, Ganoderma lucidum has a maintenance effect on the liver, can promote the metabolism of drugs and poisons in the liver, for chronic hepatitis and poor liver function of the elderly population, eating some Ganoderma lucidum can not only improve immunity, but also has important significance for the prevention of liver cancer.
Second, be less angry
Because anger can damage the liver, it can easily affect liver cells, causing the body to produce a substance called catecholamines, which acts on the central nervous system, increases blood sugar, strengthens the breakdown of fatty acids, and eliminates toxins from liver cells.
Therefore, a happy mood is essential for maintaining liver health, and only if liver function is not affected can it maximize its function.
Third, a scientific way of life
It is necessary for people to develop a reasonable lifestyle, exercise more, strengthen immunity, do not smoke and drink alcohol. Therefore, people with liver function diseases, it is recommended to have a physical examination every six months, but also to supplement some selenium to prevent excessive fatigue, only in this way can the disease be prevented.
The mainland is indeed a big country with liver cancer, and many liver cancer patients are in the advanced stage once diagnosed, resulting in increased difficulty in treatment.
Therefore, patients should eat less moldy food, regular physical examination, especially people who originally have liver disease, such as cirrhosis, fatty liver, do not ignore these aspects, do not wait until after suffering from liver cancer to regret.
