"Everyone knows that if you don't eat well, you will get sick, but do you know what exactly to eat that will make you entangled with illness?"
Li Hua, 47, is a busy primary school teacher, who has to prepare lessons every day in addition to grading homework. She was originally a healthy middle-aged woman, until half a year ago, a health check-up changed the trajectory of her life dramatically.
Li Hua was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and it was at a later stage. The doctor told her that it was related to his unhealthy eating habits over the years. Li Hua remembered that because he was busy with work, he often missed breakfast, and he dealt casually in the school cafeteria for lunch, and took out or fast food for dinner, and rarely had the opportunity to eat fresh and healthy food.
For the next six months, Li Hua's life revolved almost entirely around the hospital. This series of treatments left her physically and mentally exhausted. Despite the tremendous support of her doctors and family, her condition continued to deteriorate and she eventually passed away.
In the midst of this sad matter, there are a few points that we need to understand deeply. First of all, Li Hua's dietary behavior is one of the potential triggers for his stomach cancer.
In particular, there are certain foods that we should try to avoid. Here are three foods that everyone should reduce:
Excessive salt intake of foods with a lot of salt has a lot to do with the occurrence of stomach cancer. Consuming a lot of salty salt can damage the stomach lining and increase the likelihood of stomach cancer.
The assembly line of meat has a large number of additives and harmful substances, and the accumulation of these substances in the body can turn into a potential danger. Eating meat produced on the assembly line is a risk factor for gastric cancer, and long-term consumption can significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer.
Heavy and grilled foods, which usually produce high amounts of carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines. Especially during cooking, the proteins and fats in meat are more likely to form these harmful substances under certain circumstances.
In Li Hua's case, although she did not overeat the above foods, her irregular diet and preference for fast food and other unhealthy eating habits may have been the catalyst for her illness.
In addition, we have to talk about the stress of life. The pace of modern society is overwhelming, and teachers like Li Hua have to face tremendous work pressure and emotional pressure every day.
Long-term bad mood may affect the person's endocrine system, thereby affecting gastric acid secretion, aggravating the damage, and increasing the risk of stomach cancer. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to our diet, we must also learn to relax ourselves appropriately and give our body and mind a chance to breathe.
It has been reported that regular consumption of excessively cold food can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to a decrease in the defense function of the gastric mucosa, thereby increasing the risk of stomach disease.
In addition, for people who often need to work overtime and stay up late, their eating schedules are often not fixed, which is also an important factor in causing stomach problems.
The stomach needs a regular eating time to maintain normal digestive function, otherwise there will be problems with excessive stomach acid or indigestion.
Now, let's summarize, in order to maintain a healthy stomach, in addition to avoiding high-salt, processed meats and heavy foods, it is also necessary to have a regular eating time, appropriately reduce the stress of life, and avoid frequent intake of excessively cold or excessively hot food.
The matter was almost over, and Li Hua's sister Xiaohong also began to pay attention to her health problems after Li Hua's death. She had a question and wanted to consult the doctor: "Doctor, I heard that stomach cancer is also related to genetics, my sister has stomach cancer, am I also prone to stomach cancer?"
The doctor patiently replied, "Xiaohong, stomach cancer does have a certain familial cluster, but this does not mean that you will definitely get stomach cancer." Parental legacy factors are just one of the risk causes.
What's more, you should start paying attention to your eating habits and lifestyle from now on. Have a stomach test done on time and seek medical attention as soon as possible if you have any symptoms. The doctor then took out some past medical records from the folder and pointed out that even if there is a family history of the disease, many people can effectively prevent stomach cancer through healthy lifestyle habits and regular check-ups.
