On this day, something big happened in the happy community, Mr. Liu suddenly fainted while exercising in the park and was sent to the hospital.
As a retired physical education teacher, Mr. Liu used to be an athlete in the school, so his biggest hobby is to go to the park every day to exercise.
After Mr. Liu woke up, the doctor told him that the examination showed that there was a suspected cerebrovascular tumor, and recommended that he be hospitalized for observation.
After listening to the doctor's words, Mr. Liu was stunned and asked the doctor in confusion: "I exercise every day, why do I still have tumors?"
The doctor said that although Mr. Liu is a very health-conscious person, his body will change as he gets older.
Especially exercising every morning, for this age, it is considered excessive exercise, so it will cause the blood flow rate to be very fast, which stimulates the cerebrovascular tumor.
Teacher Liu sighed: "It's not good to see that I exercise too much! Yesterday I watched TV and said that there would be an increase of 20,000 cancer patients in China every day, and I thought I was very healthy by exercising every day! ”
Doctor: "Yes, exercise is good, but after all, the body of the elderly is not the same as when they were young, especially after the age of 60, don't do these 3 things in the morning!"
1. What are the 20,000 cancer patients increasing every day?
As the population continues to age, the elderly are facing more and more health problems, one of which is cancer.
As a globally recognized "killer of life", the incidence and mortality of cancer have always affected people's nerves.
Especially as one of the major health threats to the elderly, cancer has become a reality that they have to face.
Due to the gradual decline of physical functions and the weakening of the immune system, the risk of cancer increases significantly in older people.
At the same time, modern lifestyle changes have further increased the risk of cancer in the elderly.
Unhealthy lifestyles such as environmental pollution, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption have become important factors leading to tumorigenesis.
Especially in China, economic development and the improvement of living standards have brought about high-fat, high-salt, high-calorie diets.
And these unhealthy eating habits directly increase the risk of cancer in the elderly.
It is understood that there are about 14 million new cases of cancer in the world every year, and about 8.2 million people die at the same time, and in China, nearly 20,000 people suffer from tumors every day.
In addition, the body immunity of the elderly is weakened, and they are also easily affected by various external factors, which is a very serious problem.
Correspondingly, as the immune system weakens, older people are more susceptible to attack by tumor cells, and tumors tend to develop faster and their condition is prone to deterioration.
In addition, due to the gradual decline of physiology in the elderly, their tolerance to treatment methods is relatively low, which further increases the difficulty of treating tumors.
2. Can you get tumors during exercise?
When it comes to tumors, its development process is extremely complex and closely related to many factors, and preventing tumors is like building a strong fortress that requires all-round protection.
Sports play an important role in cancer prevention strategies, but they are not the only one.
Therefore, when it comes to "cancer prevention", we cannot simply think that "as long as I exercise more, I will be safe".
This notion is so naïve that even the healthiest people in the world cannot be 100% guaranteed that they will not suffer from disease.
Therefore, there is still some ambiguity about the link between exercise and health, especially with serious diseases such as brain tumors.
Therefore, many people wonder whether middle-aged and elderly people who insist on daily exercise can effectively avoid brain tumors? The answer to this question may not be so simple.
Before solving this problem, we also need to know the fact that exercise is essential for middle-aged and elderly people to maintain normal physical function and health.
These include cardiovascular health, weight control, improving mental state, and more.
However, it is important to know that prolonged, high-intensity exercise may increase the risk of brain tumors, suggesting that the effects of exercise on brain tumors may be complex.
It is well known that middle-aged and older adults are often accompanied by a decline in body function and a slowdown in metabolic rate, which can lead to potential problems.
For example, obesity, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, etc., these factors have a certain correlation with the incidence of brain tumors, so it is important to prevent brain tumors.
Although for middle-aged and elderly people, moderate exercise not only helps to adjust weight, reduce the body's inflammatory response, and improve immune system function.
However, we must also recognize that excessive exercise or improper exercise may have a negative impact on physical health and even aggravate the condition of brain tumor.
Therefore, individual differences and physical health must be fully taken into account when choosing sports and intensity.
Therefore, to answer the original question, although daily exercise can provide a certain protective effect, it cannot guarantee that middle-aged and elderly people will completely avoid brain tumors.
3. After the age of 60, "3 don't" in the morning
Especially after the age of 60, the physical function of the elderly gradually declines, which means that they face more health challenges.
At this stage, the right morning routine is essential to maintain good health.
Morning is an important time of the day when the body starts, and a good morning lifestyle can reduce the burden on the body and reduce the risk of disease, but unreasonable habits can also increase the risk of disease.
First of all, don't exercise on an empty stomach in the morning.
For many middle-aged and elderly people, morning exercise has become an indispensable part of their lives, but exercising on an empty stomach in the morning is not a good habit.
Because the human body is in a fasting state in the morning, the blood sugar level is low, and strenuous exercise at this time can easily lead to hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia stimulates the secretion of adrenaline, which further lowers blood sugar levels, which can affect the normal function of organs such as the heart.
In addition, exercising on an empty stomach can also easily lead to excessive gastric acid secretion, causing gastritis, gastric ulcers and other diseases.
Excessive and heavy exercise can cause a sudden increase in heart rate, blood pressure rises, and the burden on the heart increases.
Especially for older people or people with cardiovascular disease, this sudden change can be extremely dangerous.
Don't eat too much breakfast and avoid eating high-fat foods in the morning, which can also have adverse effects on your long-term health.
We all have breakfast as a very important meal, and eating well can provide us with the energy we need for the day, however, eating too saturated and greasy is not a good breakfast habit.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, the gastrointestinal function has been weakened, and overeating can easily lead to digestive diseases such as indigestion, bloating, and diarrhea.
Eating greasy can also lead to high blood lipids, which may lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including serious diseases such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
At the same time, hyperlipidemia may also increase the risk of developing tumors, as it is considered one of the triggers for the development of certain tumors, and if this condition persists, it will pose a serious health risk.
Finally, don't drink water on an empty stomach, although drinking water is essential for maintaining good health, drinking a lot of water on an empty stomach can have adverse effects on the body.
Especially when the stomach is in an empty state, the concentration of stomach acid is relatively high, which helps digest food and kill potentially ingested bacteria.
If you drink a lot of water at this time, it will dilute stomach acid, weaken its digestive function, and may even cause stomach discomfort, such as gas, stomach pain and other symptoms.
In addition, drinking water on an empty stomach may also interfere with the body's normal metabolic process, and the water is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, increasing blood volume, which in turn increases the burden on the heart.
This practice is especially dangerous for older people or those with poor heart function.
4. Adhere to the following practices to prevent the occurrence of tumors
The formation of tumors involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Although we cannot completely avoid the occurrence of tumors, we can take a series of measures to reduce the risk of disease, and the following suggestions are to help Mr. Liu and everyone better stay away from the threat of tumors:
1. Maintain a healthy diet:
Increase the intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains, reduce the intake of high-salt, high-sugar and high-fat foods, and moderate the intake of high-quality protein, such as fish and legumes.
A balanced diet helps provide the body with all the nutrients it needs, boosts immunity, and reduces the risk of cancer.
2. Maintain a moderate weight and physical activity
Maintaining a moderate body weight can reduce the risk of developing tumors, and by doing a moderate amount of physical activity every day, you can improve metabolic processes in the body, enhance immune function, and reduce the risk of cancer.
Try to avoid long-term sedentary or inactive behaviors and maintain regular physical activity habits to help reduce the risk of cancer.
3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol to avoid second-hand smoke
Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption are considered to be one of the main risk factors for several types of cancer.
Therefore, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and reducing exposure to secondhand smoke are all important ways to reduce the risk of cancer.
4. Avoid exposure to carcinogens
With the further development of social industrialization, people are inevitably exposed to various carcinogens in their lives and work.
Minimize exposure to environments containing radioactive materials, harmful chemicals, heavy metals, etc.
Such as building materials, food additives, etc., and use personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, etc., to reduce direct contact with carcinogens.
5. Regular physical examination and screening
Regular check-ups and cancer-specific screening programs can help detect and treat potential problems early, and the chances of early detection of cancer often mean better cure rates and prognosis.
Therefore, timely examination is one of the key steps in the prevention and control of tumors.
All in all, cancer, as a serious disease, has become a major challenge to global public health.
However, only through scientific preventive measures and good lifestyle habits can we effectively reduce the risk of cancer.
Therefore, friends who are over 60 years old should pay attention to the "3 don'ts" in the morning, and middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to the rules of diet and daily life, and develop good living habits.
Only in this way can we effectively prevent the occurrence of cancer and have a healthy body that is far away from tumors.
