Li Qiang, 42, is a sales director at a large private enterprise.
Because of his busy work, he often socializes outside. Barbecue, hot pot, and Sichuan-Hunan cuisine with strong flavors are his favorites. Especially grilled sausages, bacon, and grilled fish, he has to feast on them every time.
Until recently, Li Qiang found that his body had some abnormalities: he always felt tired and drowsy, his appetite decreased, and he still had a dull pain in his upper abdomen.
At the strong request of his wife, Li Qiang came to the hospital.
After seeing a series of examination results such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy, the gastroenterologist said to him with a solemn face: "Judging from the current situation, your gastric mucosal erosion and atrophic gastritis are more serious.
There are also many intestinal polyps. These are all high-risk signs of stomach cancer and bowel cancer. "
"What??" Li Qiang was struck by lightning, his face was full of disbelief, "Haven't I always been in good health, how can I get cancer?"
The doctor sighed and said, "Your problems are mainly caused by improper eating habits.
The processed meat products you often eat, such as sausages, bacon, ham sausages, etc., are high in fat and rich in pickled preparations such as nitrites.
Long-term high intake will not only cause excess calories and cause bloating, but also increase the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. "
"In addition, eating barbecue and fried food regularly is also the main culprit of gastrointestinal diseases. These foods produce strong carcinogens such as benzopyrene at high temperatures, which have a strong irritating and damaging effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa.
In particular, barbecued meat and grilled fish have higher carcinogenic residues, which are more toxic and harmful than pickles. The doctor added.
Li Qiang woke up like a dream, and he asked the doctor for advice: "Then what should I do?
The doctor comforted him and said, "It's not that you can't eat it at all, the key is to eat it in moderation." Usually, it is mainly light and less salt, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less meat.
If you really want to eat sausage and ham, choose low-fat and low-salt products, and don't grill or fry them when cooking. At the same time, pay attention to regular physical examinations, early detection and early treatment. "
In fact, cases like Li Qiang's exposure to cancer risk due to poor eating habits are not uncommon around us.
According to the latest report of the World Health Organization, about 40% of cancer deaths worldwide each year are related to unhealthy lifestyles, and improper diet accounts for a large part.
The dangers of barbecing and frying food should not be ignored. These cooking methods produce strong carcinogens such as benzopyrene and heterocyclic amines. Animal experiments have confirmed that mice often eat barbecue meat, and the incidence of stomach cancer is 3 times that of ordinary mice.
Epidemiological data also show that regular consumption of barbecue and fried food is closely related to the incidence of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer.
So, how can we prevent diet-related cancer risk?
1. Adhere to a balanced diet, mainly plant foods, appropriate intake of high-quality protein such as fish, lean meat, eggs and milk, etc., and eat less high-fat and high-salt foods.
2. It is also important to develop good living habits. Regular physical examination and screening is also the key to early detection of tumors.
Write at the end
A healthy lifestyle is the most powerful weapon against cancer. Let's start now, abandon bad habits, cultivate healthy habits, and take practical actions to take care of the health of ourselves and our families.
I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, we will definitely keep cancer, the "killer of the century", away from our lives!
