Long life and 100 years old, life is better than Nanshan, long life is boundless... A few simple idioms are enough to show the Chinese people's pursuit of longevity, as if engraved in our DNA.
However, contrary to the relentless pursuit of longevity, many people are doing some "stealing life" every day in their daily lives.
Today, the editor will summarize some, and in a comprehensive order according to the breadth of the people involved, the frequency of everyone's "stepping on thunder" and the degree of harm to the body, let's take a look together~
Stealing life behavior ranking, staying up late only ranked 3rd!
Bad eating habits 1, high-oil diet want to fry the food thoroughly to make it fragrant and crispy, it is inevitable to inhale a lot of fat. However, once the human body ingests too much fat, it will obtain a lot of calories, and if it cannot be consumed, it will be hoarded, which will lead to obesity, fatty liver and so on.
In addition to excess fat, in the repeated high-temperature frying process (usually higher than several hundred degrees Celsius), the protein, fat, etc. contained in food are very prone to high-temperature denaturation, which may produce strong carcinogens such as benzopyrene and heterocyclic amines. If it is a starchy food, it will also produce a large amount of acrylamide due to high-temperature frying.
This is a substance that is both neurotoxic and potentially carcinogenic. If the human body ingests for a long time, even if it is only a little bit at a time, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and even drowsiness, tremor and other symptoms may occur, and over time it will also lead to learning, memory and cognitive function decline. Suggestion: It's okay to eat fried food once or twice once or twice, but you shouldn't eat it often; Children and patients with metabolic diseases are best advised to abandon fried foods altogether. 2. High-salt diet, whether it is a variety of table salt, or "invisible salt" hidden in many foods, as long as it is eaten in large quantities for a long time, it will cause or aggravate some diseases.
A variety of large-scale epidemiological studies have shown that hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, infection, dehydration, various digestive tract diseases such as nutrient malabsorption, gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer, enteritis, etc., are all associated with high salt intake. Recommendation: The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022 Edition) states that the amount of salt consumed by adults should not exceed 5 grams per day.
3. High-sugar diet, whether it is sucrose, lactose, fructose, maltose, as long as you eat too much, it will directly or indirectly lead to four major problems: dental caries, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Among them, there is sufficient evidence to confirm that obesity is not only one of the five most likely causes of premature death, but also positively correlated with the risk of a variety of cancers, such as colon cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary system cancer, kidney cancer, etc. In addition, long-term eating sugar can also lead to fatty liver, malnutrition, osteoporosis, skin aging, etc.
It is worth mentioning that many people think that sugar substitutes are very healthy, but they are not. Studies in recent years have found that eating too much sugar substitutes not only increases the risk of obesity and diabetes, but may also be closely related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, dementia, lymphoma and other diseases. Recommendation: The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022 Edition) states that the daily intake of added sugars for adults should not exceed 50 grams, and it is best to control them below 25 grams. As for sugar substitutes, for example, aspartame, which is officially classified as a Class 2B carcinogen (potentially carcinogenic, but less likely), has an acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.
It's cool to sit for a long time, and it's cool to sit all the time and go straight to the crematorium!
Studies have pointed out that smoking a cigarette will lose 11 minutes of life. Another study confirmed that sitting for 1 more hour reduces life expectancy by 22 minutes. It can be said that sitting for a long time reduces life loss compared to smoking! Of course, for the harm of sedentary time, this is only a relatively general statement. Specifically, long-term sitting can lead to - cervical spine, spine, lumbar discomfort, such as cervical spine stiffness, carotid artery insufficiency, arched back, bone hyperplasia, lumbar muscle strain, etc.;
increased risk of obesity and diabetes; The blood flow of the whole body slows down, and the gastrointestinal blood flow and peristalsis slow down, resulting in difficulty in defecation and constipation; Women with pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis and other gynecological diseases; Impaired sexual function and spermatogenic function in men; Other physical discomforts and diseases, such as loss of appetite, muscle aches, hemorrhoids, varicoceles, etc.;
The resistance of venous blood return in the lower extremities is increased, the blood flow is slow, and the light form of localized lower limbs, ankle edema and toe numbness, and the heavy form of venous thrombosis. If this blood clot is not treated in time, it will fall off and enter the blood circulation, which may cause pulmonary embolism and be life-threatening. In short, sitting for a long time hurts from head to foot, so it is recommended that everyone: (1) every hour of work or study, carry out a 5~10 minute activity, such as going to get a glass of water, go to the toilet, move the muscles and bones, etc.; (2) If you must not sit soon, such as meetings, exams, etc., you should maintain a correct sitting posture and try to avoid unnecessary injuries.
Stay up late and stay up late occasionally, usually not a big problem in a short period of time, but if you stay up late often, it is easy to get into various physical problems, such as: dark circles, eye bags, vision loss, dry eyes, glaucoma and other eye problems; skin problems such as yellowing, roughness, and the appearance of fine lines; Various chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver diseases, etc.;
increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, sudden death, cancer; Deterioration of gastrointestinal function, resulting in obesity, gastrointestinal diseases, constipation, etc.; Mental problems such as anxiety and depression. Suggestion: Develop good sleep habits, do not eat 3 hours before going to bed, take a bath 2 hours before going to bed, stay away from mobile phones before going to bed, do not think cranky, and let yourself fall asleep in a relaxed state.
Smoking and drinking
The smoke produced by smoking contains at least 69 known carcinogens, such as nicotine, benzopyrene, toluene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc.
As one of the most common carcinogenic factors, smoking is associated with the occurrence of a variety of cancers, such as nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, etc.
In addition to causing cancer, smoking can also harm the respiratory tract, lungs, stomach and systemic blood vessels, leading to tracheitis, emphysema, gastric ulcer, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases.
Note: Smoking, whether active or passive, is harmful to health.
As for drinking, as an important cause of a variety of cancers, long-term drinking is closely related to liver cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, etc.
In addition, long-term drinking can also cause alcoholic fatty liver, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, peripheral neuritis, harm people's memory, attention, judgment, affect women's menstrual regularity and ovulation function, and harm men's sperm count and activity.
Suggestion: quit smoking and alcohol, you really can't quit, at least limit smoking and alcohol.
