"Even if you have a regular schedule and love to play, you may cause liver cancer because of these three things." Doctors say on today's health promotion.
Chen Daqiang, 43, is the head of the marketing team of a company.
He usually has good living habits, regular work and rest, and likes to play basketball to maintain good health.
Today, he had just returned home from shopping at the mall, and when he passed by the hospital, he saw a lecture being held at the entrance of the hospital.
The title of the lecture immediately attracted Brother Chen.
However, the doctor mentioned an incident that made the audience feel sad:
A 43-year-old man with seemingly healthy lifestyle habits, regular work and rest and love of sports unfortunately died of liver cancer.
This story shocked Chen Daqiang because the man's living habits were very similar to his.
He decided to listen carefully and see what the problem was.
The doctor explained that while regular routines and exercise are good for the body, there are some potentially dangerous habits that can be overlooked.
It can still lead to health problems, even liver cancer. She lists three high-risk behaviors:
The first is long-term drinking. The doctor mentioned that many people think that they just drink a little alcohol occasionally in social situations and there will be no major problems.
But in reality, the damage of alcohol to the liver is not digested in a day, and alcohol is metabolized in the liver.
Drinking alcohol regularly produces acetaldehyde, a toxic substance, which can damage liver cells, cause liver cirrhosis, and increase the risk of liver cancer.
This is followed by a high-fat diet. Doctors point out that modern people like to eat greasy food.
Fast food and high-fat snacks fill daily life. A high-fat diet can lead to fatty liver disease.
Excessive accumulation of fat in the liver can lead to liver inflammation and damage over time, which can eventually evolve into liver cancer.
Doctors have mentioned a study that says that those who eat high-fat foods have a 40% higher risk of liver cancer than the general population.
The third is neglecting medical examinations. Doctors say that many people feel that they are young and strong and do not need regular medical check-ups.
Regular physical examinations can detect liver problems early and intervene in time.
She shared a case: Mr. Zhang, an IT engineer, never had a medical check-up due to his busy work.
I waited until I felt very unwell to go to the doctor, and it turned out that the liver cancer was already at an advanced stage, and I missed the best time for treatment.
After hearing this, Chen Daqiang fell into thought. He recalls that he usually socializes, although he is not often drunk.
But he drinks a little at every party, and in addition, he has a soft spot for greasy food, and often eats fast food to solve lunch problems.
In addition, he has not had a physical examination for more than two years, and he always feels that he is physically strong, and there is no need to spend that money and time.
After the lecture, Chen Daqiang decided to change his lifestyle immediately.
This lecture teaches us that a healthy lifestyle can bring unexpected benefits.
Maintain a regular daily routine, eat a reasonable diet, have regular check-ups and reduce unhealthy behaviors.
It may seem simple, but it can effectively prevent health problems such as liver cancer.
So in addition to drinking, high-fat diet, and neglecting medical checkups, what other lifestyle habits are harmful to liver health?
First of all, avoid staying up late for a long time, because staying up late will disrupt the liver's self-repair process and increase the burden on the liver.
Secondly, avoid overeating some foods, especially some foods that are harmful to the liver, and consult a dietitian if necessary.
Finally, keep in a good mood, too much stress can affect liver function and increase the risk of disease.
I hope you can get inspired by this article to develop healthy lifestyle habits and have a healthy body.
