As a doctor, I often encounter various health problems caused by improper lifestyle habits, among which stomach cancer is one of the most cunning. Especially for people who live in a fast-paced world – like the staff who often run takeaways. Their examples may shed some light on our roots.
These delivery people who often go out to deliver food. For those who work randomly at different times, it is not uncommon to be hungry and full of meals, and such a eating pattern is very taxing on the stomach.
The stomach is an organ that is particularly sensitive to the regularity of eating, and it needs to receive the right amount of food on time in order to maintain healthy digestion. Irregular eating times can disrupt the natural rhythm of the stomach and in the long run, it can cause lasting damage to the stomach.
However, busy delivery workers often don't have this condition, and they may be busy until noon in the morning to eat their first bite of food, and in the evening they delay eating because they are working overtime. This long-term irregular diet can easily lead to abnormal gastric acid secretion, and in the long run, the gastric mucosa will be damaged, increasing the risk of gastric disease and even stomach cancer.
Due to the special nature of their work, delivery workers often can only choose fast food or roadside stalls, and it is often difficult to ensure food hygiene and nutrition in these places.
The cleanliness and freshness of food has a direct impact on stomach health. Coupled with the high pressure of work and the need to complete a large number of orders in a short period of time, this high-pressure and fast-paced work environment can lead to long-term stress, which is also an important factor affecting stomach health.
Irregular schedules are also a problem that cannot be ignored. The digestive activity of the stomach is closely related to the human biological clock, and if you often stay up late or the work and rest time is not fixed, the stomach will not get enough rest time, which is extremely unfavorable to the repair of the gastric mucosa.
The situation is further exacerbated by irregular eating habits, unreasonable work pressure, unhygienic food and irregular schedules. That's why we say that stomach cancer is a cunning disease – it tends to develop slowly through the patient's unconscious bad lifestyle habits, and by the time the symptoms are obvious enough to cause attention, it is often at an advanced stage.
Those who have a particularly fast pace of life and high work pressure must pay attention to the regularity of life, try to ensure the regularity and health of the diet, and give their stomach a stable and healthy environment.
We can't control all the stress that comes with work, but at least we can minimize the impact of these stresses on our bodies by adjusting our lifestyle habits. By doing so, you will not only reduce your risk of stomach problems, but you will also be responsible for yourself.
When discussing the potential signs of stomach cancer, we usually hear about some of the more common symptoms, such as stomach pain, indigestion or weight loss. However, there are also less obvious but equally important signs, often overlooked, that are less noticeable symptoms that may be the warning signs of stomach cancer that are quietly sending us an early warning.
Oral health problems. You may be wondering, what does the mouth have to do with the stomach? In fact, the oral cavity is the entrance to the digestive tract, which can also reflect some problems in the digestive system. Long-standing oral problems, such as recurrent mouth sores, bleeding gums or bad mouth odor, can be associated with digestive disorders, including stomach cancer.
This is because gastric cancer may cause changes in the microbial environment in the body, which affect the oral cavity through blood circulation, or because of abnormal gastric acid secretion, which affects the microecological balance of the oral cavity.
Mental and emotional state. While this may sound a bit far-fetched, in reality, chronic diseases such as stomach cancer have a significant impact on the mental and emotional state of patients. Long-term unexplained anxiety, depression, or mood swings may be something your body is telling us that internal mechanisms are changing.
Through the neuroendocrine pathway, it affects the health of the stomach and accelerates the development of the pathological process. So, if you find yourself or someone around you experiencing persistent low mood or anxiety without obvious outside stress, it could be a sign from your body that we need to focus on our stomach health.
Persistent fatigue. Many people feel that fatigue is the norm in modern life, especially under the pressure of a fast-paced work and life, and it doesn't seem uncommon to feel tired. In the early stages of stomach cancer, it may lead to malabsorption of nutrients in the body, which can cause a generalized decrease in energy and fatigue.
This fatigue is not just a simple fatigue that can be recovered from a single sleep, but a persistent feeling of weakness that comes from deep within the body.
Stomach cancer is indeed a cunning disease. It may not give us too many obvious physiological symptoms in the early stages, but it silently warns us through these subtle signals. Therefore, when we observe these abnormal signals in our lives, we should not take them lightly.
As soon as these symptoms are noticed, especially if they persist in an unusual way, it is best to seek medical attention promptly for the necessary tests.
It may not be something that everyone can think of immediately, but understanding these possible symptoms does not mean self-diagnosis or panic, but rather allows us to pay more attention to our bodies and prevent and detect possible health problems earlier. By having a more comprehensive understanding of the various signals that stomach cancer can bring, we can take more proactive steps to protect our health.
When it comes to preventing stomach cancer, people usually think of routine advice such as dietary modifications, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol. These are indeed important, but some may not be heard so often, but are equally critical prevention strategies that stem from a deep understanding of the human microbiome and mental health.
How mental and mental health affect stomach health. Long-term psychological stress can also affect physical health, including stomach health. Psychological stress can indirectly promote the development of gastric disease by increasing gastric acid secretion and slowing down the motor function of the stomach. Therefore, effectively managing stress will not only improve our mental state, but also radically reduce the risk of stomach problems.
What should not be overlooked is the individualized diet. Understanding your physical condition and needs, and adjusting your diet according to your specific situation, is an important strategy to prevent stomach cancer.
We're not just talking about specific measures to prevent stomach cancer, we're emphasizing a lifestyle that focuses on physical and mental health holistically.
This approach emphasizes a holistic concept of health, through the comprehensive adjustment of lifestyle habits, dietary patterns and psychological state, to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and improve quality of life. Hopefully, these contents will provide you with some new perspectives and inspiration for your healthy life.
