6 'golden' principles to prevent cancer

Cancer is the most shocking disease today, because the survey data shows that every 6 minutes, a person standing in the healthy group switches to the cancer patient group. The rate of cancer patients is increasing every day and constantly occurring in young people, even children.

So every time we hear that someone young has been tested and found to have cancer, we automatically assume that it is a pity and that there is no way to reverse the situation.

There are many ways to prevent cancer, but this is the way that doctors trust the most because studies have proven its practicality. This is considered the simplest way to prevent cancer, anyone can do it if they are really "afraid" of being called by cancer:

1. Quit smoking, limit alcohol, reduce salt: Avoid agents containing carcinogens

Smoking has been shown to cause many types of cancer, including lung cancer, bladder cancer, uterine cancer, and kidney cancer.

Any type of tobacco, including chewing tobacco, secondhand smoke… can give you cancer.

Alcohol can increase the risk of cancers related to internal organs such as esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer... Limiting alcohol will avoid the great danger of cancer pathogens.

A bland diet is best. Each person should not eat more than 5 grams of salt per day. In addition, pay attention to MSG, soy sauce, fish sauce and other foods containing "hidden salt".

2. Eat chicken and fish: reduce the risk of cancer

Pork, lamb, beef and other "red meats" are indeed delicious foods, but eating too much of them can increase your risk of cancer.

Research by American scientists has shown that people who eat a lot of red meat increase their risk of lung cancer by 16%; eating too much red meat can lead to an increased risk of breast cancer by up to 22%.

Mr. Ma Junsheng, Deputy Director of the Chinese Center for Nutrition and Food Safety Control, said that people should limit their intake of red meat, and try to replace it with poultry, fish and other "white meats".

In particular, you should eat fish at least two or three times a week.

In addition, it is extremely important to limit the intake of salted fish, ham, sausages and processed meat products which often contain high levels of nitrites, which can cause cancer of the digestive system.

3. Refuse the temptation of fat: reduce the risk of cancer

Braised pork, greasy dishes, cakes, pastries and other fatty and sweet foods are always the most appealing dishes. But fat and sweet are the causes of many diseases.

American research shows that fat is closely related to cancer, especially breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer. Children who like to eat fatty and sweet foods are more likely to get cancer when they grow up.

4. Drink green tea every day: inhibits cancer cell growth

Tea's cancer-preventing effects have been confirmed. A nine-year survey of Japanese tea drinkers found that drinking tea daily can reduce the risk of cancer by up to 40%.

Other studies have also found evidence that drinking tea may be effective in preventing lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and other cancers.

In addition, studies have shown that different types of tea have different anti-cancer effects because the anti-cancer components in each type of tea are not uniform.

Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which can inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Everyone should make a habit of drinking 2-3 cups of tea a day. Just be careful not to drink tea that is too strong or too hot.

5. Sweat every day: boost immunity, reduce inflammation and cancer cells

Exercise is the most cost-effective way to prevent cancer. American studies have shown that regular exercise can reduce the risk of lung cancer by 68%.

Reduces the risk of colorectal cancer by up to 38%. You should exercise at least 30 minutes a day to reduce the risk of cancer.

Researchers note that sweating during exercise not only burns excess fat, but also eliminates carcinogens from the body.

Exercise also increases intestinal motility, which is beneficial for digestion and shortens stool retention time, reducing the risk of colorectal cancer.

Most importantly, exercise can boost immunity, helping people fight off inflammatory invasion and cancer cell proliferation.

Professor Shen Yanying, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital (China), believes that brisk walking, jogging, dancing, cycling, swimming and aerobics every day are the best ways to sweat a little, without having to over-exercise.

6. Control body weight: Obesity increases the risk of cancer

A US survey conducted in 188 countries around the world showed that China's obese population is about 46 million people, second only to the US, the "second fattest" country in the world, while obesity can cause cancer.

American research also shows that body fat is the cause of about 49% of endometrial cancers, 35% of esophageal cancers, and 28% of pancreatic cancers, which is a disaster.

Research by Taiwanese experts also suggests that fat cells can indirectly promote the growth of cancer cells.

Obese people should eat less and exercise more, reduce fat by limiting both food and drink. Must exercise daily, control weight appropriately.

Cancer is a terrible and scary disease for everyone. Preventing cancer is the most effective, cheapest and surest way that anyone can do to keep themselves healthy.
