The protective effect of vegetables and fruits on the liver is produced by the interaction between vitamins, minerals and fibers. Green leafy vegetables, carrots, potatoes and citrus fruits have the strongest preventive effect. Dr. Jing Dong suggests that you should eat five or more kinds of vegetables and fruits every day, including a glass of juice in the morning, a piece of fruit in the morning and afternoon, and two or more vegetables at the main meal, so that the total intake is about 400-800 grams a day, which can reduce your risk of liver cancer by 20%.
2.Drink Tieguanyin
Dr. Dong said that it is good for preventing liver cancer, especially Tieguanyin, which is common in southern Fujian, and Longjing before rain is also good.
3.Eating dairy products
Medical research proves that if you consume dairy products, including milk and yogurt, under the condition of controlled drinking, your chances of developing liver cancer will be reduced by 78%. At present, children have developed the habit of consuming dairy products, but not many adults consume dairy products, it may be improved.
4, eat more “three bamboo shoots”
Three bamboo shoots, namely bamboo shoots, lettuce and asparagus. Experts suggest that eating more of these three kinds of food can reduce the incidence of liver cancer, and they are also delicious.
Preventing liver cancer “four don’ts”
1.Do not eat moldy food
In spring, food is very easy to become moldy. Therefore, food should be properly stored and discarded as soon as it becomes moldy, especially soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes and sugar cane, etc., which should not be consumed again. In addition, peanut oil should also not be stored for a long time, if found to produce harsh taste should not be eaten. Otherwise, not only the taste is bad, but more importantly, it will lead to cancer.
2, do not eat or eat less pickles
The next hot weather, appetite, many people prefer to pickled vegetables for dinner. But pickles contain a higher amount of nitrosamines, experimental evidence related to the occurrence of liver cancer, it is best not to eat or eat less. And remember, must be pickled through before eating.
3.Do not drink or drink less alcohol
Once the cells of the stomach are injured, the toxic substances in food will be easily absorbed by the stomach, which will easily cause alcoholic hepatitis and damage the detoxification function of the liver, and even cause alcoholic cirrhosis, which is a risk factor for the occurrence of liver cancer. If moldy peanuts are used to drink, the possibility of inducing liver cancer will be even greater. Dr. Dong recommends that adult men should not drink more than 2 cups of alcohol per person per day, and women should not exceed 1 cup.
4. Animal and vegetable oils should not be consumed after they have deteriorated
Stale oils contain malondialdehyde, a chemical component that can generate polymers and react with proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid in the body to mutate the structure of proteins, causing the cells of mutated proteins to lose their normal functions and transform into initial cancer cells. In addition, malondialdehyde polymers can impede
replication of DNA and accelerate the aging process. Therefore, animal and vegetable oils should not be stored for too long, and oils that have deteriorated and produced a harsh taste should not be consumed. Food made by frying with harsh oil not only tastes bad, but more importantly, it can cause cancer and shorten life expectancy.
