The modern new type of peasants are no longer a group of rural people with low culture, poor quality, and no understanding of anything, as people have in their inherent thinking concepts, but new farmers who follow the trend of the times and keep pace with the times! As for some new things in the countryside, perhaps the new farmers now know more than the people in the city. For example, the betel nut that is wild or artificially grown in the countryside, the new farmers understand that its harm to the human body is very great, and many young people in the city do not know it, and they are still chewing betel nut with relish, which is really worrying.
Zhang San in our village has been in a very bad mood recently, often sighing and asking him why? It turned out that his son was in high school in the county, and Zhang San found that his son was also often chewing betel nut, reminding his son many times, but his son did not care at all, and said that chewing betel nut was to refresh his mind and be more conducive to learning. Zhang San had no choice, but he knew that chewing betel nut regularly might have a negative impact on his son's body, so he could only be depressed.
Objective reality is also the same, in the high-pressure, high-intensity work and life rhythm, many people in order to alleviate stress, like chewing betel nut, it is said that chewing betel nut can quickly lift the spirit, eliminate fatigue, but what they did not expect is that the price paid by chewing betel nut often is far from the benefits of chewing betel nut can be compared, and some people even have the possibility of cancer. The serious harm of betel nut to the human body has been recognized by developed countries in the world, and many countries have therefore legislated to explicitly prohibit the cultivation and circulation of betel nut. However, in our country, why can betel nut, which is very harmful to the human body, still be planted in the countryside, and why is there no relevant department to prohibit it? Below I will briefly popularize this knowledge with you!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >, what kind of rural plant is betel nut? </h1>
Rural people are no strangers to betel nuts, knowing that betel nuts not only have a wild presence, but also can be cultivated artificially. Moreover, rural people have multiple names for betel nuts, such as green seeds, betel nuts, olives, etc., the regions are different, and the names may be different.
In fact, the main distribution area of betel nut is in tropical and subtropical areas, such as Southeast Asia, Africa and parts of Europe; China is mainly in Hainan, Yunnan and Taiwan and other provinces with high temperatures and relatively dry air all year round, and it will grow.
Betel nut is also an ancient tree, the history is relatively long, it likes high temperature, love abundant rain, its trunk is usually very tall, about 10 meters is its norm, a small number of betel nut trees even up to more than 30 meters; betel nut flowering and fruiting time is in March to April, and in the following months, you can often see betel nut in the market circulation. Betel nut has wild, but also farmers themselves grow, because it can bring economic value to farmers, but also has a certain medical value, so in the tropical and subtropical areas of rural friends, will go to artificial planting of betel nut. We are in the supermarket, usually spend about 15 yuan, you can buy a pack, so the price is not too expensive, ordinary consumers can afford it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, what harm may be caused to the human body by chewing betel nut regularly? </h1>
Betel nut is harmful to the human body, which has achieved the consensus of developed countries in the world, the United States, Mexico, Canada, Turkey and other countries, has passed a legislative form to prohibit the cultivation and circulation of betel nut. So what kind of harm does betel nut have to the human body, and why do people like to chew betel nut?
Chewing betel nut regularly does not have much benefit, but it can play a certain role in refreshing the brain, and the other is that betel nut has a certain value in the medical field. However, compared with the disadvantages it brings to the human body, the benefits of betel nut are completely "small witches and big witches" and are not worth advocating at all.
The harm of betel nut to the human body, from the short-term effect point of view, its contained fiber molecules will cause damage to the mouth and esophagus, causing mouth ulcers, gum swelling and pain, esophagitis and other pain; from a long-term effect, it may make the human body dependent, and can improve the probability of cancer in the human body, so the World Health Organization as early as 2004 has listed betel nut as a first-class carcinogen. According to a survey data of the Chinese Society of Stomatology in 2018, a large proportion of patients with oral cancer in China have the habit of chewing betel nut regularly.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, betel nut is harmful, but why are farmers allowed to grow? </h1>
Since betel nut has greater harm, and there are many countries in the world that prohibit the cultivation and circulation of betel nut, why can rural people still grow in the rural areas of China's tropical regions? This can't help but make people feel curious. In fact, the reason is also very simple, we have not banned the cultivation and circulation of betel nuts, mainly 3 factors:
1. The economic value brought by betel nut cannot be ignored in a few areas. Betel nut is also of economic value, in some places, the economic benefits brought by betel nut even occupy a pivotal position, if the planting and circulation of betel nut is immediately banned, then the economy of these areas will be greatly affected, the corresponding employment situation will become severe, and the income of local farmers will be greatly reduced. Therefore, before there is no new industry to support, betel nut still needs to exist in these places.
2, betel nut is not as harmful as a certain item. Betel nut is harmful to the human body, but not everyone who chews betel nut will necessarily suffer from disease; and a certain object is different, no matter who it is, once it is contaminated, it is difficult to get rid of. At the same time, although the human body also has a certain dependence on betel nut, this dependence is easy to quit, unlike that kind of object, it is very difficult to quit.
3. Betel nut has application value in the medical field. Limited to the nature of my account, this aspect of the problem is not discussed in detail, anyway, in many Chinese medicine prescriptions, it is also necessary to betel nut to be compatible.
In general, the harm of betel nut to the human body is far greater than the benefits it brings, and the reason why China has not banned the cultivation and circulation of betel nut by farmers is because it is necessary to take advantage of its favorable side for the time being. I believe that once the industrial restructuring in our rural areas is completed, restrictive measures will inevitably be formulated. At present, we ordinary people should be self-disciplined, fully aware of the harm of betel nut, consciously stay away from betel nut, and change the habit of chewing betel nut frequently, which is very beneficial to us individuals and society!
