As we all know, the main cause of esophageal cancer is due to wrong dietary habits, so the healing or deterioration of the disease is closely related to the patient’s usual dietary habits; as long as the patient can maintain good dietary habits and cooperate with the doctor for proper treatment, it is believed that with the developed medicine nowadays, there is hope that esophageal cancer can be cured. Forbidden foods for esophageal cancer patients: 1.Warm food: The so-called warm food refers to the food with too high or too hot temperature directly; one refers to the warm food in the division of Chinese medicine. Because too hot and pungent food can easily damage the epithelial cells of digestive tract mucosa, so this kind of food is one of the causes of esophageal cancer. 2. Excessively hot diet: it is an important cause of esophageal cancer and other digestive tract tumors. Overheated diet will damage and stimulate the epithelium of esophageal mucosa, which will induce tissue malignancy under long-term stimulation. The digestive tract tumors of Chinese people are significantly higher than those of Westerners, which is related to the fact that Chinese people like hot food and like to have three meals a day with hot soup, such as vegetable soup and batter; compared with Chinese people, Westerners have a simpler diet and usually see less hot soup and drink more cold drinks such as juice and cola. 3, moldy food: aflatoxin has been recognized as the most powerful carcinogen, and Aspergillus flavus is rich in moldy cereals, corn, peanuts, the bacteria in a warm, humid environment is easy to grow and reproduce, the study found that it can induce a variety of tumors in experimental animals. This factor is an important reason for the high incidence of cancer in certain areas of Asia and Africa. 4.Cured food: Nitrite is also a recognized carcinogen. A large amount of nitrite will be produced after the curing of vegetables and fresh meat. Salt-cured dried fish, fermented pickles, kimchi and sauerkraut, overnight cooked cabbage, sausage and meat all contain nitroso compounds, and regular consumption of these foods will lead to the risk of esophageal cancer.
