But Aunt Wang has been feeling panicked lately, and she often wakes up in her sleep with stomach pain. And I feel hungry frequently, but I don't dare to eat more, for fear of suddenly gaining weight. Seeing this, my husband was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly persuaded: "You can't do this, how uncomfortable is it to be woken up by pain?" You'll have to go to the hospital. ”
Aunt Wang also felt a little scared when she heard this, and finally couldn't help but go to the hospital. After diagnosis, it turned out to be early stomach cancer! The reason is that she is proud of dieting to lose weight. The doctor told her that ordinary people occasionally skip meals and get gastritis, not to mention that Aunt Wang has insisted on it for decades, how can her body stand it?
1. Be vigilant, wrong fasting to lose weight or induce cancer!
In recent years, friends who like fitness must know that "fasting" is a weight loss method that controls energy within 500 kcal by taking two days out of the week as low intake, and can eat freely at other times. In the end, you can achieve the effect of weight loss. Although many people are enthusiastic about this method, it is also very harmful.
If the human body insists on fasting for a long time, it may cause damage to the stomach and increase the secretion of gastric acid. In addition, long-term starvation of the human body can also cause gastrointestinal disorders.
Nie Lihong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that long-term "fasting" will lead to low spirits, and when it comes to this weight loss method, she said that although it can lose weight to a certain extent, it may make the body lack sufficient nutrients, and even have symptoms of slow thinking.
In the fast-paced modern life, many people want a simple and quick way to cope with hunger. As a result, some wrong starvation remedies are widely adopted, do you know what other harm prolonged fasting or excessive dieting can do to the human body?
First of all, it can lead to low immunity in the human body, because starvation therapy keeps the body in a state of stress for a long time, and the immune system is less responsive and susceptible to infections. It is manifested by symptoms such as frequent colds and slow wound healing.
Secondly, it can also cause metabolic disorders, starvation will lead to metabolic imbalance in the body, and the basal metabolic rate will decrease, which in turn will cause problems such as fluctuations in blood sugar levels and dyslipidemia. Clinical symptoms include no obvious weight loss, loose skin, and yellowish complexion.
If the body is in a state of fasting for a long time, it is very likely to develop stomach cancer like Aunt Wang. Xiao Jiu understands that many young people yearn for a healthy body and a perfect body, but losing weight by "hunger" will definitely not work!
2. Vigilance: 3 symptoms or disease warning!
Many beauty lovers try starvation therapy, and eating only one food a day is a frequent occurrence in most people's lives. But beware, when your body gives these warnings, be sure to stop this pace of eating!
Symptom 1: Nausea
The function of the gastrointestinal tract is affected during starvation therapy, the secretion of digestive juices is reduced, and gastrointestinal peristalsis is slowed down, which triggers the symptoms of nausea. In addition, the regulation of the central nervous system during starvation can also be disturbed, further aggravating nausea. Chronic hunger
Symptom 2: Heart palpitations
Starvation therapy causes blood sugar levels to fluctuate greatly, and the heart needs enough glucose to maintain normal systolic and diastolic functions. When blood sugar is unstable, the workload of the heart increases, and palpitations may occur.
Symptom 3: Muscle aches
Starvation therapy causes protein breakdown in the body to be accelerated, and muscle tissue is not supplied with enough nutrients, resulting in soreness. In addition, not eating for long periods of time can cause electrolyte imbalances, further aggravating muscle discomfort.
3. Why do overnight ingredients induce stomach cancer?
A stand-up comedian once said, "My grandmother thinks that as long as you put food in the fridge, time will stand still." "I believe that many elderly people around you think that as long as they put food in the refrigerator, they can keep it fresh forever, but they don't know that the 3 foods in the refrigerator can really bring cancer risks to health!
Type 1: Overnight seafood
When fish and shrimp are stored overnight, protein degradants are produced. It contains many harmful substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which can cause serious damage to liver and kidney function. Over time, the risk of stomach cancer increases.
Category 2: Overnight cold dishes
Because most cold vegetables will not be sterilized at high temperatures, they are easy to breed bacteria, not to mention nitrite substances that will be produced overnight, and when cold vegetables are ingested by the human body, they will react with gastric acid and easily convert into carcinogenic nitrosamines.
The third category: rice, noodles and other starchy ingredients
Studies have shown that when staple foods such as steamed bread and rice, noodles and other staple foods are stored in the refrigerator for too long, starch aging will be formed. Not only will the taste be affected, but it will also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and then produce the carcinogen aflatoxin.
