The incidence of cancer is gradually increasing in China, we need to learn better prevention to avoid it, so are the eight bad habits most prone to cancer? Here is a detailed introduction for you.
Not eating breakfast → gallbladder cancer
Young working people often skip breakfast and go out. However, skipping breakfast often is a predisposing factor for gallstones and gallbladder cancer. After 8 hours of sleep, a large amount of bile is retained in the gallbladder. If you can have a meal in time, drink some milk or eat a slice of bread, it can help the bile to be discharged and not easily form stones. But if you do not eat breakfast, bile will accumulate in the gallbladder to form stones, causing disorders in the metabolism of the gallbladder. So it’s best for office workers to get up half an hour earlier and leave themselves half an hour for breakfast every day.
Staying up late → breast cancer and prostate cancer
The latest scientific research found that the incidence of breast cancer and prostate cancer is higher among women and men who work overnight than among those who work daily.
Women who work night shift regularly for 3 consecutive years are 40% more likely to develop breast cancer than women who work normal shift; if they work night shift regularly for more than 3 consecutive years, the probability of developing breast cancer is 60% higher. Because of the bright lights during the shift, the body’s natural cycle of melatonin production is altered, and the lights at night reduce the body’s secretion of melatonin, which protects DNA from oxidative damage and inhibits cancerous cells.
Gluttony of meat → breast cancer
A British study shows that excessive consumption of processed meat foods may increase the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, in order to avoid breast cancer, women should not be a “carnivore”, especially they should reduce the consumption of various ready-to-eat meat products. However, it is not wise for women to refuse meat completely. It is recommended to control the amount of meat consumption below 100 grams per day, and it is better to steam and stew the meat in a lower temperature processing method.
Sedentary → Stomach cancer
According to a report released by the World Health Organization, more than 2 million people die every year due to prolonged sitting and immobility. The report also predicts that by 2020, 70% of the world’s diseases will be caused by sitting too long and lack of exercise.
Some people sit in front of the computer for hours at a time, not knowing that such habits can inhibit the activity of immunogenetic factors and increase the likelihood of cancer. In a survey of patients who underwent stomach cancer surgery, Japanese medical doctors found that eating too much and sitting too long without exercising are common characteristics of these patients, which will make the immune factors in the body become dull and incompetent over time.
Multiple sexual partners → cervical cancer
In recent years, the incidence age of cervical cancer is gradually becoming younger. One of the reasons why cervical cancer occurs in young women is related to sexual confusion. Most cervical cancers are caused by sexually transmitted infections. The more sexual partners a woman has or her husband has, the higher the risk of being infected by sexually transmitted infections and the higher the incidence of cervical cancer. The risk of cervical cancer for women with multiple sexual partners is more than 2-3 times higher than that for women with only one sexual partner.
Poor quality toilet paper → gynecological cancer
Some girls usually pay a lot of attention to dressing up and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on new clothes and cosmetics, but when it comes to choosing such detailed goods as toilet paper, they don’t care much and often pick cheap ones to buy. I do not know that some poor quality toilet paper, although the color is bright white, because of which added fluorescent whitening agent or talcum powder, long-term contact with the skin is likely to cause leukemia. There are also used waste paper after bleaching and processing, is likely to contain E. coli, hepatitis virus, etc.. Therefore, the small hygiene products should not be taken lightly, must buy regular brand products, do not pursue a moment of cheap and hurt their health for life.
Fat heart → colon cancer, prostate cancer, etc.
It is good to have a generous heart, but a fat body needs to be alert. Some cancers are related to obesity, such as colon cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the diet structure, strengthen exercise, control weight and reduce the accumulation of body fat.
Smoking to reduce stress → lung cancer
When a person smokes, he affects not only his own health, because the harm caused by secondhand smoke is comparable to direct smoking, and the harm caused by passive exposure of children to “secondhand smoke” is even greater.
In addition to smoking being a major cause of the increasing incidence and mortality of lung cancer in recent years, air pollution is also an important factor in the high incidence of lung cancer. The main carcinogenic components known to exist in the atmosphere are benzo(a)pyrene, etc. In large cities with severe pollution, the amount of benzo(a)pyrene inhaled by residents daily can exceed the content of 20 paper cigarettes.
