The topic of cancer has long been shunned. But can we really run away from it? There are so many things in this world that we can't control, like the incidence of cancer.
In recent years, the incidence of cancer is gradually increasing, which is a fact that cannot be ignored. We have to face this fact, we have to look for the cause, we have to find a solution.
1. The phenomenon of increasing cancer incidence
The phenomenon of increasing cancer incidence is a complex social and medical problem. Among them, the aging of the population is an important factor. With the development of society, people's life expectancy is getting longer and longer, and the proportion of the elderly population is gradually increasing.
Older adults have a relatively weak immune system and are more susceptible to various chronic diseases and diseases, which increases the risk of developing cancer.
At the same time, with the development of modern medical technology, people's life expectancy has been significantly extended, and the time window for cancer cells to persist and multiply in the body has also increased, which is also a reason for the increase in the incidence of cancer.
On the other hand, environmental pollution, lifestyle changes and dietary habits are also important factors leading to the high incidence of cancer.
In modern society, people's life rhythm is getting faster and faster, work pressure is getting bigger and bigger, many people are in a high-pressure state, lack of exercise, irregular diet, these unhealthy lifestyles will increase the risk of cancer.
Environmental pollution and exposure to chemicals can also bring many harms to the human body, especially affecting the function of the body's immune system, which can lead to a high incidence of cancer.
2. Analysis of wild vegetable species on the market in May
When it comes to diet, we have to mention wild vegetables. Wild vegetables are a favorite food for many people, especially in May, when many wild vegetables are available in large quantities.
However, did you know that some wild vegetables contain toxins, if consumed in excess, may have a negative impact on our body and may even increase the risk of cancer.
May is a vibrant season and a season when wild vegetables are abundant on the market. At this time, wild vegetables such as mountain celery, toon, and daylily will be on the market one after another.
These wild vegetables are not only nutritious, but also have a unique taste and are loved by people. However, you may not know that these seemingly harmless wild plants may actually contain toxins that are harmful to the human body. If we don't pay attention to how and how much we eat, we may ingest too many toxins, which can have an impact on our health.
For example, mountain celery contains a toxic substance called palmitic acid, which, if ingested in excess, may cause a toxic reaction, and in severe cases, may even cause damage to organs such as the heart and liver.
Toon contains a toxic substance called strychnine, which, if consumed in large quantities, may cause symptoms of poisoning to appear, which can have an impact on our health.
Daylily contains a substance called polysaccharides, and if you consume too much, it may have an irritating effect on the intestines, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, it may cause gastrointestinal bleeding and may even lead to cancer.
Therefore, in May, the season when wild vegetables are abundant on the market, we must pay special attention not to ignore the impact on the body because of gluttony. We must learn to eat wild vegetables scientifically and healthily, and we must know that moderate amounts are the best.
3. Caution for the consumption of mountain celery
Mountain celery, a wild vegetable that is considered a delicacy in many places, actually hides potential dangers. Mountain celery contains a substance called palmitic acid, which can have adverse effects on the human body when ingested in excess. Excessive accumulation of palmitic acid in the body can lead to damage to vital organs such as the liver and heart, and may even cause cancer.
According to a study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), people with a high intake of palmitic acid have a 40% higher risk of liver cancer and heart disease than those who consume palmitic acid.
This is a shocking number enough to make us wary of consuming mountain celery. However, this does not mean that we should avoid mountain celery altogether, but we must learn to eat it in moderation. If you eat mountain celery in moderation, you can enjoy its unique flavor without putting too much burden on your body.
When eating mountain celery, we should pay attention to the following points: first, try to choose fresh mountain celery, because the content of palmitic acid in fresh mountain celery is relatively low; secondly, try to choose a variety of cooking methods, such as steaming, stewing, etc., which can minimize the intake of palmitic acid; finally, try to avoid eating a large amount of mountain celery at a time, which should be a part of the diet, not a staple food.
Fourth, daylily edible warning
Daylily, also known as goldenrod, is a type of wild vegetable that many people enjoy. However, daylily contains a substance called polysaccharides, which can have adverse effects on the human body when consumed in excess. Excessive accumulation of polysaccharides in the body may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding may even lead to cancer.
According to a study by the American Cancer Research Center, people who eat a lot of daylily for a long time have a 30% higher risk of stomach and colon cancer than those who consume it normally.
This data is enough to make us wary of eating daylily. However, this does not mean that we should avoid daylily altogether, but we should learn to eat it in moderation. If daylily is consumed in moderation, you can enjoy its unique flavor without putting too much burden on your body.
When eating daylily, we should pay attention to the following points: first, try to choose fresh daylily, because the content of polysaccharides in fresh daylily is relatively low; secondly, try to choose a variety of cooking methods, such as steaming, stewing, etc., which can minimize the intake of polysaccharides; finally, try to avoid eating a large amount of daylily at a time, which should be a part of the diet, rather than a staple food.
5. Warning for the consumption of toon
Toon, a wild vegetable that is considered a spring delicacy in many places, also hides some potential risks. Toon contains an ingredient called strychnine, which can have a negative impact on human health if consumed in excess.
Excessive accumulation of strychnine in the body may cause symptoms of poisoning, and in severe cases, it may cause damage to the nervous system, and may even cause cancer.
According to a study by the National Cancer Institute, people with a high intake of strychnine have a 50% higher risk of developing neurological diseases than those who consume it normally.
This data is enough to make us wary of edible toons. However, this does not mean that we should avoid toon altogether, but we should learn to consume it in moderation. With a moderate amount of toon, you can enjoy its unique flavor without putting too much burden on your body.
When consuming toon, we should pay attention to the following points: choose fresh toon, because the content of strychnine in fresh toon is relatively low, choose a variety of cooking methods, such as steaming, stewing, etc., which can minimize the intake of strychnine, avoid eating a large amount of toon at a time, and should make it a part of the diet, not a staple food.
