Lao Zhang, I'm not feeling well these days, and I'm always worried about what serious illness I have. She heard others say that tofu and mutton are the "hair products" of tumors, so scared that she didn't even dare to eat her favorite mutton stewed tofu.
Let me tell Lao Zhang, what you heard is not right! What are the "hair things" of tofu and mutton? Don't be fooled by unfounded claims. What you really need to pay attention to is that if you want to avoid cancer cells from getting worse, you have to eat less fried, pickled, high-sugar and high-salt foods.
When Lao Zhang heard this, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked what do I usually pay attention to?
I smiled and said, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly later. Remember, it's important to eat healthy, but you also have to be calm. Want to know more health tips? I'll tell you more about it!

The concept and scientific basis of "hair matter".
When we talk about "hair things", we are actually talking about a deep-rooted concept of eating. In the folk, this concept has long been ingrained, and it is related to the subtle relationship between the attributes of food and human health.
In simple terms, "hair products" usually refer to foods that may trigger adverse reactions in the body under certain circumstances, such as wound healing, disease recovery, etc.
First, let's take a look at how "hair" is defined in the folk. In many cases, people judge whether a certain food is a "hair thing" by looking at the effects of food on wound healing, inflammation resolution, etc.
For example, some people will experience redness, swelling, and ulceration in their wounds after eating certain foods, and these foods will be regarded as "hair products". Although this way of judging is intuitive, it lacks scientific basis, so it often carries a certain degree of subjectivity and bias.
With the development of modern medicine and nutrition, our understanding of "hair matter" has gradually deepened.
Modern science believes that "hair" does not refer to a specific type of food, but to those foods that may have adverse effects on the human body under certain circumstances.
These adverse effects may include worsening inflammation, inducing allergic reactions, and affecting the efficacy of medications. Specifically, the following groups of foods are often considered "hair products":
Spicy and irritating foods: such as chili, ginger and garlic, etc. These foods can irritate the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and cause an inflammatory response, which can aggravate the symptoms of the disease. For patients with gastrointestinal disorders, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided as much as possible.
High-purine foods: such as animal offal, soy products, seafood, etc. This type of food produces a large amount of uric acid during the metabolic process, and for gout patients, eating it can lead to an increase in uric acid levels and aggravate the condition.
High-cholesterol foods: such as cream, egg yolks, animal offal, etc. This type of food contains a lot of cholesterol, and for people with hypercholesterolemia and liver disease, eating it will not help the recovery of the disease.
Allergy-prone foods: such as eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, etc. For people with allergies, this kind of food can easily lead to allergic attacks after consumption, causing allergic symptoms such as rashes, numbness in the mouth, and asthma.
Foods that may really accelerate the growth of cancer cells
Now that we understand that lamb and tofu are not "hair products", let's take a look at the foods that may actually accelerate the growth of cancer cells. These foods should be avoided or restricted in the diet of cancer patients as much as possible.
High-sugar foods such as candies, desserts, sugary drinks, etc., are quickly converted into glucose in the body and used by cancer cells.
Cancer cells need much more glucose than normal cells, so a diet high in sugar can accelerate the growth and spread of cancer cells. Therefore, cancer patients should try to avoid the intake of high-sugar foods in their diet.
Processed meats such as sausages, ham, bacon, etc., are processed with large amounts of salt, preservatives and other additives.
These additives not only increase the calorie and salt intake of food, but may also contain carcinogens such as nitrite. Therefore, cancer patients should minimize the intake of processed meat in their diet.
The relationship between alcohol and cancer has been extensively studied and supported by clear scientific evidence. Alcohol is a carcinogen that can affect the human body in a variety of ways, increasing the risk of cancer.
For cancer patients, alcohol intake may accelerate the growth and spread of cancer cells, which can aggravate the condition.
The relationship between food and cancer is not simple. Proper eating and a healthy lifestyle are essential for cancer patients.
Foods that may cause adverse reactions should be avoided according to individual circumstances, and at the same time, nutrition comprehensiveness should be ensured to avoid malnutrition caused by blind avoidance. Only by treating and recuperating diseases scientifically can we better protect our health.
