Stomach cancer is indeed closely related to “eating”. The incidence of gastric cancer is higher in men than in women, and the incidence of gastric cancer is higher in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to chronic inflammation, ulcers and intestinal chemistry of the digestive tract, the occurrence of stomach cancer is also affected by food and eating habits. Food mold, long storage time, some people like to eat pickled and high temperature fried food can lead to higher incidence of stomach cancer. The main reason for the higher risk of stomach cancer is that these foods contain dangerous nitrites, which can be converted into nitrosamines by stomach acid and bacteria and cause stomach cancer. Therefore, for the prevention of stomach cancer, there are mainly the following measures 1. Prohibition of smoking and alcohol Smoke contains many carcinogenic or carcinogenic substances such as benzo(a)pyrene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dibenzocarbazole, which is one of the causes of esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. Although alcohol itself is not a carcinogenic substance, strong alcohol can stimulate the gastric mucosa, damage the gastric mucosa tissue and promote the absorption of carcinogenic substances. If you drink alcohol and smoke at the same time, it is even more harmful. Since alcohol can enhance the permeability of cell membranes, it will increase the absorption of carcinogenic substances in smoke. 2. Avoid smoked, salted and moldy foods Smoked fish and roasted meat contain a lot of carcinogenic substances. Fried, baked and burnt foods and repeatedly used high-temperature cooking oil also contain such carcinogenic substances and should be consumed sparingly. Food mold is caused by mold, some of the mold is a toxic fungus, is a very strong carcinogenic substances. At the same time, some food in the role of toxic fungi, but also produce a large number of nitrites and secondary amines, can be eaten and synthesized nitrosamines and carcinogenic. Pickles contain a large amount of nitrite and secondary amines, which can be synthesized into nitrosamines under the action of suitable acidity or bacteria in the stomach, and are very carcinogenic. Therefore, a moment to eat the food, it is recommended that the refrigerator refrigeration. 3.Prevent obesity, long-term mental depression, etc. Several foods used to ward off stomach cancer 1. Garlic: Garlic is a recognized anti-cancer food with obvious anti-cancer effects. Epidemiological surveys show that people who consume raw garlic have a very low incidence of stomach cancer, because garlic can significantly reduce the nitrite content in the stomach and reduce the chance of synthesis of nitrosamines, thus playing a role in cancer prevention. Some experts suggest that slicing garlic cloves for proper consumption can better play its cancer prevention role. 2, onions: eat onions can also reduce the nitrite content in the stomach, more importantly, onions also contain a substance called oakleys, is a natural anti-cancer substances. Studies show that people who eat onions regularly have a 25% lower incidence of stomach cancer than people who eat less or no onions. 3.Mushrooms: This kind of food includes mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, etc., as well as wood ear. Scientists have found that many mushrooms in food contain anti-cancer substances, which can play a role in cancer prevention. For example, the polysaccharides contained in the winter mushroom are highly effective in fighting cancer. The polysaccharide contained in black fungus and white fungus is also an effective anti-cancer substance. 4.Tomato: Tomatoes contain lycopene and carotene. They are antioxidants, especially lycopene, which can neutralize free radicals in the body and is beneficial to the prevention of stomach and digestive cancers, as well as effective in preventing breast and prostate cancers. 5.Cauliflower: Cauliflower contains more trace elements of molybdenum, which can block the synthesis of carcinogenic substances nitrosamines and can play a role in anti-cancer and cancer prevention. A research report points out that cauliflower also contains an enzyme called small sulfide that can stimulate cell activity, which can stop the formation of cancer cells. Eat cauliflower to prevent esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, etc. have a certain role. 6.Green tea: green tea is one of the natural cancer prevention substances that have been valued in recent years. Human trials have confirmed that drinking 1 to 5 grams of tea leaves every day can significantly block the synthesis of nitrosamines in the body. In addition, cabbage, carrot, onion and citrus are also golden foods to prevent stomach cancer. Adjusting diet to prevent stomach cancer includes: low salt diet, which can reduce the intake of nitrate and nitrite. Drinking more milk and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamin C can inhibit the combination of nitrite and amine. Relevant surveys have confirmed that people who take vitamin C for a long time in areas with high incidence of gastric cancer have less gastric cancer.
