"Lao Li, what are you buying? It looks very fresh!"
Zhao Daqiang, a retired librarian, met his neighbor, Aunt Li, who had just finished a medical check-up at the vegetable market.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and Zhao Daqiang is also ready to show his cooking skills at home and entertain relatives and friends.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, haven't I heard that I am 60 years old and have many cancers, so I specially bought some fresh vegetables and planned to eat lighter. ”
Aunt Li said while picking vegetables.
"Well, I've heard of that.
The doctor also advised him to do the same, saying that there are three things that need special attention. ”
Zhao Daqiang recalled.
3 things to do not do again to prevent cancer cells from invading
"What are the three things?" Aunt Li asked curiously.
"First of all, you have to quit smoking and limit alcohol.
Tobacco and alcohol are two major causes of cancer.
Studies have shown that smoking and alcohol consumption are major risk factors for many types of cancer. ”
Zhao Daqiang was right.
"Ouch, I know this, my family has quit a long time ago. Aunt Li nodded and said.
"The second is to try to eat as little processed food and red meat as possible.
Additives such as preservatives and colouring in processed foods, as well as certain ingredients in red meat, may increase the risk of cancer. Zhao Daqiang continued.
Aunt Li listened carefully, "You have to pay attention to this, I always want to eat something good during the holidays, but health is still important." ”
"Yes, yes, the third is to exercise more.
Exercise strengthens the body's resistance and reduces the risk of obesity, which is one of the risk factors for many types of cancer. Zhao Daqiang said.
"Well, I've heard of that, too.
Have time to go for a walk in the park?" Aunt Li suggested.
"Good idea, it's good for the body to walk around. ”
Zhao Daqiang responded with a smile.
As he spoke, Zhao Daqiang remembered an old reader in the library, Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang was once diagnosed with lung cancer because of long-term smoking and drinking.
Fortunately, it was detected early and after treatment, the body is now recovering well.
Uncle Wang then quit smoking and drinking completely, and began to pay attention to diet and exercise.
"By the way, Uncle Wang is an example.
He now insists on exercising every day, pays special attention to his diet, and his body is much stronger than before. Zhao Daqiang said.
"That's the good news! It seems that these habits are really important. Aunt Li sighed.
The two chatted as they walked, exchanging their health tips along the way.
Suddenly, Zhao Daqiang thought of a question:
"Aunt Li, you said, if people of our age suddenly change their eating habits and lifestyle, will there be any adverse reactions to the body?"
This question made Aunt Li stunned for a while, but Zhao Daqiang remembered that he once read a book in the library, which mentioned that even if you change your lifestyle in your later years, the positive impact on your body is huge.
Some of the research in the book shows that quitting smoking and alcohol, improving your diet and increasing your physical activity significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease and cancer, regardless of when you start.
Of course, this change needs to be made under the guidance of a doctor to ensure that it is safe and effective.
