How many people have become “vegetarians” after a serious illness? Lao Li grew up in the 1960s when materials were scarce, and is a local Shanghainese who is moving towards well-offness and wealth, and misses the dish of braised pork with thick oil and red sauce at Chinese New Year festivals in the old days. But just when the days are getting richer and richer, he was found to have elevated high blood pressure in the physical examination of the unit, and the CT examination of the chest showed that the upper lobe of the left lung was occupied. After surgery, although he recovered his health, but no longer dare to look at the thick sauce of braised pork. After the surgery, he described himself as “coming back from the dead” and became a committed vegetarian. Because he insisted on oral Chinese medicine after the operation, and adhere to the “vegetarian”, nearly 12 years after the operation, he is still healthy and happy to accompany his partner to go to the park, supermarkets, and even created a “vegetarian recipes”, by the surrounding friends and relatives welcome. “Vegetarianism” has made Li a recognized “anti-cancer star”. If you look carefully, there are more and more people like Lao Li around. Old Li’s menu has a weekly must eat dish is “mixed with bitter melon”. When it comes to bitter melon, some people are really happy and some people are worried, and Lao Li on it is really “love”. The anti-cancer effect of bitter melon comes from a kind of quinine protein, which can activate the active protein of immune cells, and has a unique effect on killing tumor cells. In addition, it is said that the old Li with kelp can cook a very delicious soup, and research has confirmed that the kelp contains sodium alginate and carcinogenic strontium, cadmium has a very strong binding capacity. By consuming kelp, you can take these cancer-causing “culprits” away from the body, is not a wonderful way. Lobelia alkaloids and cucurbitacins in eggplants, which Lao Li often eats, and polysaccharides in shiitake mushrooms have been proven to have anti-cancer properties. Thus, the marvelous combinations in the kitchen and the objective and rigorous experimental research proved that Lao Li’s “vegetarian recipes” had really played a miraculous role in his fight against cancer. Nowadays, Lao Li, has no longer to the thick oil and red sauce of the braised meat have a slight heart, buy food on the way back, Lao Li often smilingly greeted the neighbors: “Today, you eat vegetarian?” Mars Rescue on the “potato revelation” In the previously released movie “Mars Rescue”, Matt Damon played the hero in the mission on Mars encountered on Mars “sandstorm” and was left alone on Mars, as a botanist he, researching the As a botanist, he researches a way to grow potatoes on Mars, thus ensuring that he can have sufficient food supplies and wait for his teammates to rescue him. In the movie after the harvest, the protagonist’s recipe has been occupied by potatoes, baked potatoes, steamed potatoes, french fries …… I have to say, the screenwriter wrote here when actually still do a very deep level of consideration: potatoes belong to the root vegetables, rich in carbohydrates, protein content of about 1% -2%, fat content of less than 0.5%, at the same time rich in potassium, phosphorus, calcium and other minerals, vitamin C content is also considered quite high, can make the hero in the case of eating only potatoes, both to ensure the supply of energy, but also do not suffer from scurvy attack. However, is this really appropriate? In fact, it is not reasonable to eat a single vegetable, even if it is as miraculous as the “potato”. You remember how weak Matt Damon was when he came back to Earth, right? In the normal diet of adults, protein should account for 10-14%, in addition to fat, inorganic salts and vitamins to ensure that normal life activities, and the hero because of long-term intake of protein – especially high-quality protein – not enough, resulting in serious problems. -is not sufficient, resulting in severe malnutrition. If he is a cancer patient, his own malnutrition and low immunity will most likely lead to the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor. If you watch the movie, you will not forget that Matt Damon is often seen eating French fries and potato chips, which is a “luxury” food on Mars, right? On Mars, we have nothing to say about this practice, but in real life, the choice of cooking methods, will make the properties of the food itself changed. Deep frying, pickling and other cooking methods, so that the food, both meat and vegetables, are attached to the properties of high oil and high salt. Even vegetarian dishes, once the intake of salt and oil exceeds the limit, will become a potential killer of health. Life is like a play, we will not be exaggerated in life “potatoism” so paranoid, but on the “vegetarianism can make us healthier away from cancer,” convinced that the degree of paranoia is no less than the hero’s “Potatoism”. Even a story that takes place on Mars will tell us some truths: First, in the vast universe, we have not found a natural food that can individually and completely satisfy the energy and various nutrients needed by the human body. Secondly, potatoes are a great vegetable, but, for your health, choose to eat them in the right way of cooking. Eating only veggies doesn’t prevent cancer? We can love vegetarianism, but please don’t be superstitious and believe that “vegetarianism” alone can keep us away from tumors and keep us healthy forever. Tumor prevention, treatment and recovery are extremely complex. A proper diet, a healthy routine, regular outpatient visits, and taking medications as prescribed by your doctor are all tools that will accompany you along the way, and eating more vegetables is only a very important part of the process. Instead of saying that for the sake of health, we have to carry out “vegetarianism” to the end, we should say it in another way: to incorporate a reasonable vegetarian diet into our life, so that we can really get out of the quagmire of tumors and embrace a happy life.
