The most memorable mantra of childhood is that the elders say----
Eat it while it's hot, but don't wait for the dish to get cold!
I think many people are like me, they are honest and obedient good sons, so many years of food must be seriously "eaten while hot".
But the problem is that ----- this traditional habit may be the bane of cancer.
Regularly drinking hot water above 65 ° C may cause cancer!
World Health Organization research institutes:
Drinking hot water above 65 ° C for a long time will cause chronic damage to the mucous membrane of the human esophagus.
Repeated damage and healing of the esophageal mucosa, repeated shedding and renewal of the mucous membrane at the esophagus, so that cells are prone to genetic mutations after proliferation, coupled with repeated stimulation, it is easy to have the risk of cell malignancy, so that people suffer from esophageal cancer.
Therefore, hot drinks exceeding 65 °C are also included in the list of carcinogens of 2A class.
The question is, I don't feel hot when I usually eat?
This is mainly because ----- esophagus has been silently suffering from all this and not "talking".
You should know that the esophagus is not sensitive to temperature, so it is often mistaken for "very strong", but usually when we eat hot pot, we always feel that things are hot, so we will swallow it quickly, and we will let the esophagus and stomach silently bear all this.
However, the mucosa of the esophagus, like the mucosa of the oral cavity, is the torture of hot food.
Eat scientifically and stay away from esophageal cancer
Compared with lung cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer, esophageal cancer is probably not well known.
However, the mainland is a high incidence of esophageal cancer, and the number of new cases of esophageal cancer in the world is about 400,000 every year, and about 63% of them occur on the mainland.
About 150,000 people die from esophageal cancer on the mainland each year, accounting for almost 1/4 of the country's deaths due to malignant tumors.
Esophageal cancer ranks eighth among cancer diseases in the world, with 5% of patients losing their precious lives because of the disease, and most patients are lesions of the mucosa of the esophagus due to the lack of attention to diet.
In daily life, you also need to pay attention to these points:
First, don't eat hot food
As mentioned earlier, eating hot food for a long time is not only easy to cause damage to the esophagus, increase the risk of esophageal cancer, but also stimulate the stomach and intestines and increase the incidence of the digestive system.
Anyone should eat less greasy, spicy, too hot, too raw and cold food, and eat more foods that are low irritation, less oil, less salt, and more suitable temperature.
Second, do not drink hot water
Try to avoid drinking over-hot tea, especially people in Guangdong and Fujian like to drink kung fu tea, and over-hot tea is also easy to burn the throat, so try to wait until the tea is slightly cooler before drinking.
Third, stay away from tobacco and alcohol
In order to prevent esophageal cancer, the habit of smoking and drinking must also be corrected.
Smoking will cause the esophagus to be violated by harmful substances such as nicotine and nicotine, and drinking alcohol will also irritate the mucous membrane of the esophagus by alcohol, so anyone should avoid smoking and drinking, so as to protect the mucosa of the esophagus.
Fourth, eat less pickled foods
In animal experiments, pickled foods can also affect the risk of esophageal cancer, especially nitrites in pickled foods.
A population survey also confirmed the view that people who eat kimchi for a long time are indeed more likely to develop esophageal cancer than people who do not eat kimchi.
In addition, eating fast and liking to eat dry and rough foods will increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
Once you find yourself swallowing something when you have a foreign body feeling, difficult to swallow food smoothly, there is pain behind the sternum, you should be vigilant that you have esophageal cancer, you need to go to the hospital in time, and if you are diagnosed with esophageal cancer, don't be overly nervous and afraid.
Most patients can achieve a cure through surgery combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy as long as there is no metastases, and if there is metastases, they can also help patients control cancer cells through radiotherapy or chemotherapy, so that the body can improve.
Of course, in order to prevent esophageal cancer and reduce the risk of disease, you can "do it backwards" according to the above!
Do not eat hot food, pickle food, do not gobble up the eaves when eating, chew slowly, do not smoke or drink........
So, the next time someone yells about drinking more hot water, you just smile and say to him:
