As the saying goes: "When the radish goes out of the field, there is no business in Langzhong". The leaves of the radish are green and green, and the leaf teeth are very evenly distributed, like a ladder, the radish has the reputation of "little ginseng", which shows that eating radish is good for the body.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, white radish tastes spicy and sweet, cool, enters the lungs and stomach meridians, and is a good food treatment. It can effectively assist in the treatment of a variety of diseases, and the compendium of herbs is called "the most advantageous of vegetables".
For eating radish this food, most people generally believe that eating radish is good for the body, but some people say that radish is the "catalyst" of lung nodules, is there any scientific truth for this statement?
First understand the nutritional content of turnips:
Radish contains carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, selenium, zinc and riboflavin, vitamin C, vitamin A, carotene, etc. It also contains a spicy mustard oil that aids digestion.
According to the analysis, per 100 grams of edible portion, it contains 6 grams of carbohydrates, 0.6 grams of protein, 49 mg of calcium, 34 mg of phosphorus, 0.5 mg of iron, 0.8 grams of inorganic salts, and 30 mg of vitamin C.
4 early symptoms of pulmonary nodules:
1. Cough
If we still cough repeatedly when we do not have a cold or bronchi does not choke, or even wake up when sleeping, this time needs to be paid attention to.
Because lung nodules can also cause cough, if they are allowed to develop and continue to deteriorate, coughing will not stop, blood in the sputum and other phenomena.
2. Swollen lung lymph nodes
During the examination, you will find that you have problems with swollen hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes, and the boundaries of the enlarged lymph nodes are very clear.
If the problem is typical, it may even show a potato condition. Therefore, if this problem is found during the relevant examination, then there is no doubt that your lung nodule problem has appeared.
3. Decreased appetite
If a person develops lung nodule disease, appetite is greatly affected due to physical weakness and reduced exercise. For example, do not like to eat greasy food, eat a decrease in food intake or do not eat for a long time.
If this condition lasts for a long time, the patient will not only be thin, lose a small amount of hair, but also develop a lack of immunity.
4. The body's immunity is low
Pulmonary nodules can lead to decreased lung function, slowing down the rate at which the lungs repair themselves and metabolism.
As a result, the ability of the lungs to resist the invasion of external bacteria and fungi is reduced, which can easily lead to lung infection after the body's immunity and resistance are low.
Turnip, is it a "catalyst" for lung nodules?
Now there are rumors on the Internet that white radish is a catalyst for nodules, and patients with nodules are not suitable for eating white radish, otherwise it is easy to aggravate the condition. Is this a rumor or a scientific basis?
Patients with pulmonary nodules can eat turnips, but in moderation.
Radishes are cruciferous vegetables that are rich in fiber, low in calories and low in fat. It can supplement vitamins and enhance physical fitness. Radish has sulfur glycosides, which have the effect of reducing swelling and sterilization, so patients with nodules can eat radishes and effectively prevent nodular lesions.
However, radish is cold and sweet, and eating too much will also lead to hormone disorders in the body, weakening the stomach and intestines, resulting in poor digestion. Therefore, people with poor physical fitness or digestive tract diseases must be cautious before eating radish.
Doctor: I don't want the nodules to become cancerous, eat 6 things less
1. Moldy food
Moldy peanuts, melon seeds, corn and other foods contain a large amount of aflatoxin, which will appear yellow or yellow-green visible on the surface of the food.
After ingesting aflatoxin in the body, it will be absorbed by the liver and metabolized by cytochrome enzymes, which can easily cause nodular cancer, so try not to eat moldy food.
2. Overnight food
After overnight, the taste of the food will be greatly reduced, and it may contain a certain amount of nitrite.
The types of microorganisms are complex, and some microorganisms will produce nitrate reductase to reduce nitrate to nitrite.
And nitrite is a substance that causes nodules to become cancerous, so everyone tries not to eat overnight dishes in daily life.
3. Pickled food
Many families will often see pickled pickles or meat on the table, although to satisfy the appetite and improve appetite, but a large number of food additives are also added to this process.
In particular, excessive sodium salt will inevitably lead to an increase in blood pressure and affect cardiovascular health. The key is that once the metabolic function of this long-term pickled food in the body declines, it will inevitably be converted into nitrite amine and sodium nitrite, which are top carcinogens and affect health.
4. Foods that contain hormones
If you have nodules, you can not eat some foods containing hormones, such as bovine colostrum. This health product contains a lot of hormones, although it can play a certain health effect.
However, excessive intake of hormone-containing foods can lead to hormonal disorders in the body and affect normal hormone secretion. It can also accelerate the growth of nodules and even cause them to worsen.
5. Chili peppers
Chili pepper contains capsaicin, which is a spicy and stimulating substance, often eating chili pepper will stimulate the thyroid gland, resulting in hyperemia and enlargement of thyroid nodules, resulting in thyroid dysfunction.
Patients with thyroid nodules should avoid eating spicy and irritating food, if it is benign and does not affect thyroid function, you can eat appropriately, and pay attention to light diet.
6. High-fat foods
A large intake of high-fat foods is easy to cause obesity. The high content of body fat will affect the body's metabolism, hormone levels will be affected, so it will continue to stimulate the nodules.
Generally, people with nodules in the body have poor digestion and absorption capacity, and eating high-fat food for a long time is easy to increase the burden on the stomach and gastrointestinal diseases.
So eat some light food that helps the body digest the dissipation of the nodules.
After the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules, 3 things should be noted
1. Stay away from secondhand smoke
Smoking is also very harmful to our lungs, long-term smoking makes our lung tissue suffer certain damage, making lung nodules easier to form.
The harm of second-hand smoke is also huge, so if there are people who smoke around, they should also try to persuade them to quit smoking. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid long-term contact with stove smoke, oil smoke, etc. to prevent aggravation of the disease.
2. Maintain good living habits
Lung problems are often caused by poor immunity, maintain good living habits, maintain adequate sleep, appropriate exercise can enhance our body's immunity and resistance, can promote blood circulation is also conducive to the dissipation of lung nodules.
3. Pay attention to your diet
In your daily life, you can choose some foods to help clear your lungs. Of course, spicy and stimulating foods must also be eaten less, otherwise it will stimulate the small nodules in the lungs to become more serious, making treatment more difficult.
Therefore, we must pay more attention to this point.
