When it comes to lung cancer, many people will feel that it is far away from us, in fact, lung cancer is not only the highest incidence of malignant tumors in the world, but also the highest incidence of malignant tumors in China, the high incidence of lung cancer, in addition to genetic factors, is mainly closely related to the bad "gas" we inhale.
Lung cancer as an internal organ, you may not feel "lung pain" when the lesion occurs, but Chinese medicine says: "There are insides must go outside", therefore, lung cancer, the body will react, such as hands and feet, let's take a look at what are the "tips" in detail
People with good lungs generally do not have these 3 "marks" on their hands
1. Thickening of fingers and palms
The knuckles at the ends of the fingers will be significantly widened and thickened, looking particularly like drums, which is one of the typical signs of lung cancer. In addition, when the skin of the palm thickens, whiteness and wrinkles appear, which are signs of cancer.
When a large number of cancer cells proliferate, thick, white, scaly lesions appear on the skin, all of which are caused by lung cancer. If this abnormality occurs, it is important to seek medical attention in time for a clear examination, and do not take chances.
2. The thumb belly is shriveled
We all know that the spirit of Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and according to Chinese medicine theory, the thumb belongs to the reflex zone of the lungs, and if the lungs are healthy, the thumb is generally particularly round and elastic.
However, if you find that your thumb is shriveled and has poor elasticity, this may be caused by lung abnormalities, and if this condition lasts for a long time, it will gradually decline lung function, so it is best to go for examination.
3. Hands are cold and purple
In life, we often find that some people will have cold hands and feet in normal times, especially in winter, this situation will be particularly serious, and this is generally caused by insufficient qi and blood, and some people in addition to cold hands and feet, but also have purple fingers, pain, joint stiffness problems, in fact, this may also be caused by lung abnormalities.
Because the lungs are abnormal, the blood circulation will not be smooth, and then the blood will not reach the end of the fingers, which will gradually make the fingers purple and painful.
To prevent lung cancer, 6 things must be kept in mind
1. Reasonable diet, normal work and rest
People with poor lungs have weaker bodies and consume more calories and protein, which can be regulated by supplementing dietary nutrients and water.
Absolutely quit smoking and alcohol, and avoid eating irritating substances. At the same time, you should maintain good living habits, get up regularly, eat, and carry out appropriate activities, such as Baduan Jin, Tai Chi and other indoor exercises, to enhance the body's ability to resist disease, but not fatigue exercise, and prevent colds and flus.
2. Drink tea
The lungs are the main place for the accumulation of tobacco poison, so drinking water regularly helps moisturize the lungs, help metabolize toxins, and reduce the accumulation of lung toxins. Add some small plants to protect the lungs to make a health tea, the effect is better.
You can take 5g of clove leaves and 5g of osmanthus flowers to make a hundred knot leaf osmanthus tea bags, and brew them in hot water every day.
The whole plant of clove leaves can be used in medicine, and its young leaves can be used to prepare health tea, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, clearing lungs and moisturizing lungs, and suppressing cough and expectorant.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that osmanthus is warm, spicy, non-toxic, enters the spleen, lung meridians, and has the effect of dispersing cold, warming the stomach and relieving pain, coughing and phlegm, and clearing swelling and dispersing stasis. These two are combined to form clove leaf osmanthus tea, which can moisturize the lungs, remove dryness, and detoxify the lungs.
3. Eat "acid" to moisturize the lungs
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour foods can achieve the effect of nourishing the yin and moisturizing the lungs, note that it is said that it is a sour food, such as lemon, kiwi and so on. However, it should not be noted that it is not suitable to eat a large amount of fruit, otherwise it is easy to harm the spleen and stomach.
4Do more exercise and breathe deeply
Breast expansion exercise: We can often do breast expansion exercise every day, which can unblock the lung meridians, relax muscle tissue, promote lung blood circulation, and facilitate the discharge of impurities. Insisting on about 10 minutes a day can improve cardiopulmonary function.
When inhaling, the lower abdomen is slightly open outward; On exhalation, the lower abdomen adducts, sinking the diaphragm that controls breathing. 15 taps each time is sufficient.
5Moxibustion boosts immunity
The lungs cannot be directly replenished, the spleen is the mother of the lungs, and the lungs should be moistened by replenishing the spleen. At the same time, this program also improves the body's immunity by replenishing Yang Qi.
The loss of good luck in the spleen will only make up for it more and more weak. On the contrary, when the spleen and stomach are better and the yang energy is sufficient, the body can stay healthy.
Moxibustion is recommended for the following main acupuncture points:
Back: large vertebrae, damper, lungs.
Front: Tiantu, Zhongfu.
Limbs: Column lack, foot three miles.
6. Keep away from fumes
The high proportion of lung cancer among women in mainland China is not unrelated to kitchen smoke. Edible oil oxidizes and decomposes at high temperature, and is easy to produce benzopyrene, volatile nitrite amine, heterocyclic amine compounds and other substances are known carcinogens.
Therefore, the prevention of lung cancer should also do two things: install a good quality and performance smoke extractor in the kitchen, and try to make as little food as possible for frying and fried.
