"Do you know, Lao Wang, my son has eaten more than 200 barbecues this year!" Uncle Zhang complained helplessly to his friend on the chair downstairs.
23-year-old Xiao Li, an energetic courier, ate more than 200 times in a year because of his love for barbecue. Unfortunately, this love had serious consequences for his health – stomach cancer.
Xiao Li's experience began on an ordinary afternoon. As a courier, his job is fast-paced, stressful, and often requires overtime. At the end of his work, he would get together with his friends, and the barbecue became a way for them to relax. The aroma of the barbecue and the freshness of the beer seem to leave all your worries behind for a while.
However, Uncle Zhang, as an experienced father, persuaded Xiao Li many times to pay attention to his health and eat less barbecue, but he was always prevaricated by his son with "I know, Dad, it's okay".
Until one day, Xiao Li began to feel stomach pain often, and eating was not as fragrant as before, and he began to worry about his health. Through the examination, the doctor's diagnosis scared him - stomach cancer.
In fact, stomach cancer is not common in young people, but unhealthy eating habits, especially frequent intake of high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar foods such as barbecue, do increase the risk of disease. Meat in barbecue produces a variety of substances during cooking, which are considered carcinogens.
This is not only Xiao Li's experience alone, but also reflects a relatively common phenomenon among contemporary young people. Their hectic pace of life, coupled with a lack of awareness about healthy eating, has led many to find themselves in a similar predicament.
You may ask, why does Xiao Li insist on eating barbecue knowing so many harms? There may be many reasons. First of all, the barbecue is really delicious and has a great temptation for many people. Secondly, barbecue is often accompanied by social activities, and for young people who like to socialize, refusing to barbecue means refusing to socialize, which makes it difficult for them to make changes.
However, when health problems do come, all the deliciousness and joy no longer matter. Xiao Li's example is a wake-up call for everyone: healthy eating is not a dispensable choice, but a lifestyle that everyone should value.
He began to reflect on his lifestyle and was determined to make a change. He began to learn and explore healthier eating habits, which led more people to pay attention to their own dietary health.
But let's look at this in a different direction. In addition to conventional medical advice, such as eating less greasy, drinking less alcohol, eating more vegetables and fruits, etc., we might as well delve into the causes of stomach cancer and how to prevent this condition through small details in daily life.
First of all, we need to recognize that the formation of gastric cancer is a process, and in addition to poor diet, it also includes genetics, infections, chronic gastritis and other factors. This means that even if you're not a barbecue controll, it's not to be taken lightly, and it's just as important to have regular stomach checks.
Let's talk about Helicobacter pylori, a gastric pathogen that is directly linked to gastritis, gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer. Many people may have a H. pylori infection without realizing it because the symptoms are not too noticeable at first. Therefore, if you have long-term stomach discomfort, you may wish to go to the hospital for a check-up for early detection and early treatment.
As for diet, in addition to reducing the intake of high-risk foods such as barbecue, a balanced diet is also very important. Not only does it improve digestion, but it also reduces the likelihood of stomach cancer. At the same time, moderate intake of vitamin C-rich foods is also thought to reduce the risk of stomach cancer.
Well, with all that said, let's take a look at Xiao Li's situation. After treatment and lifestyle changes, Xiao Li's body gradually became more energetic. He began to understand that health was really important. Now, he not only adheres to a healthy lifestyle himself, but also becomes a leader in the healthy lifestyle of those around him.
Finally, Xiao Li asked the doctor a question during the follow-up visit: "Doctor, I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits every day, can this really effectively prevent stomach cancer?"
The doctor replied, "Xiao Li, your lifestyle change is very positive. Of course, no single food or lifestyle can 100% prevent any disease, but a healthy diet and lifestyle will undoubtedly greatly reduce the risk of disease.
