Cancer is still the most dangerous disease that threatens human life. Regrettably, many people are either scared of talking about cancer or think that cancer is far away from them, and the lack of medical knowledge may even slowly lead people to cancer. The Cancer Council of the World Health Organization has clearly pointed out that 2/3 of cancers can be prevented and cured, and the key is early detection through medical checkups. However, how many people in our lives will receive regular cancer checkups? Are you clear about what bad habits will make you become a “cancer candidate”? Are you a “cancer candidate”? Washington University School of Medicine Professor of Pathology and Immunology Robert Schreiber found that if some bad habits to maintain 10 years, then you will become a “cancer candidate”, because in this 10 years, cancer cells not only produce, and will develop and grow, and ultimately “invade the city “and invade other organs of the body. Experts pointed out that if you reduce the following 10 kinds of bad habits, you can remove us from the list of “cancer candidates”. Old drink boiling hot water Many people like to leisure time to brew a cup of Kung Fu Tea, do not know, this now brewed “drink while hot” tea, may be for esophageal cancer buried hidden danger. The reason is that the boiling water will burn the esophageal mucosa, triggering oral mucositis, esophagitis, etc., over time, cancer may occur. The survey shows that Xinjiang Kazakhs often drink boiling hot milk tea, Chaoshan people like Kung Fu tea, people in Taihang Mountain area love to drink big bowls of hot porridge, and now these areas have become the high incidence of esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, oral cancer. Experts suggest that if food or drink feels hot, don’t swallow it hastily. Foods with fillings may not be hot on the outside but hot on the inside, so you should be especially careful when eating them. Don’t use a straw to drink hot beverages. Vegetables and fruits eat less meat and fish eat enough, vegetables and fruits eat less, has become a common problem of modern people. Don’t underestimate the danger of this habit. Eat by the nature of one will cause obesity, in recent years, studies have shown that obesity and breast cancer, prostate cancer and many other cancers. Secondly, vegetables and fruits contain a lot of dietary fiber, they can promote intestinal peristalsis, take away harmful substances. Old not eat vegetables and fruits, will increase the risk of colon cancer. Third, it leads to a lack of vitamins. Research shows that people who do not eat carrots than a large number of people who eat carrots, because of the lack of beta-carotene, the incidence of lung cancer to be 7 times higher; lack of vitamin A, the possibility of lung cancer, stomach cancer is very high; folic acid and vitamin B2 deficiency, is an important reason for the high incidence of esophageal cancer. Experts suggest: to ensure the body’s needs, you should eat more than 400 grams of vegetables every day, and don’t eat more than 75 grams of meat, the volume is equivalent to the size of a deck of playing cards. Roughing it is the best way to stay away from cancer. Always hold the stool Want to go to the bowel, but the work is too busy to go, or a moment to find the bathroom, can only force to hold. One or two times is okay, time is long, there will be a problem. Feces contains hydrogen sulfide, fecal odorant, cholesterol metabolites and other carcinogens, in the intestinal tract for a long time, it will be repeated absorption, stimulate intestinal mucosa. Tianjin Cancer Hospital, a survey shows that no time to defecate has become the main reason why many young people suffer from colorectal cancer. Experts suggest that you must seize the moment of the day when you have the strongest urge to defecate, which is soon after you get up in the morning and after you have eaten. The urge to defecate usually lasts only a few minutes, and it is hard to catch it once you miss it. If you don’t have time to have a bowel movement in the morning, you can adjust it to the evening when you have more time. After dinner take a walk, clockwise massage of the abdomen, and then regardless of whether there is a bowel movement, regularly go to the squatting toilet. General 3 ~ 5 minutes without stool discharge, you should give up, do not stay in the toilet for a long time to read books and newspapers. Do not sleep at night Many people have to work late at night because of work; there are people to catch up with the fashionable, every day bubble bar, into the day and night out of the “party animal”. British Scientific Cancer Research Center studied more than 1,000 cancer patients around the world aged 30 to 50 years old, found that 99.3% of the people stay up late all year round, only after the early hours of the morning to rest. Stay up late on the one hand will cause disruption of the biological clock, on the other hand, the night lights will destroy the human body melatonin formation, which is an important part of the protection of the body’s immune function, the lack of it is easy to make leukemia, breast cancer, prostate cancer and so on to find. Expert advice: it is best not to stay up more than 12 o’clock. If you work overtime to the early morning, it is best to find a room with curtains with blackout cloth to sleep, the dark environment helps the body in the generation of melatonin. Sit down do not want to move Commuting a sit on the day, home stuck in the sofa do not want to move …… do not think that the harm of sedentary just hurt cervical spine, spine. German experts pointed out that the number of human immune cells with the increase in the amount of activity and increase, sedentary people in the body to reduce immune cells, greatly increasing the chances of cancer; Japanese medical doctors found that most stomach cancer patients usually eat too saturated sedentary; U.S. research shows that sedentary people than the possibility of frequent movement of people suffering from colon cancer 40% ~ 50%, men are also prone to develop prostate cancer. Expert advice: work every 2 hours, you must get up and move more than 15 minutes. If you feel that life makes you angry like a hurdle, how can not step through, the thought of drilling a bull’s-eye, and depression lasts more than a year or two, be careful. Clinical findings, life love to be serious, angry and not good at expressing people, plant nervous, endocrine and immune system in a long-term highly excited and tense state, is an important cause of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. People who love to be serious at work and pursue perfection too much are more likely to suffer from stomach and pancreatic cancers. Experts suggest that an open mind and a happy mood are the “natural enemies” of cancer cells, and you should cultivate more hobbies and interests, and take deep breaths when you are unhappy. No condom In recent years, research has confirmed that the human papilloma virus (HPV) is the culprit of cervical cancer, and the spread of this virus is often through sexual behavior. Experts suggest that minimizing premarital sex and unsafe sex in extramarital relationships, and using condoms when necessary, is an important way to protect women from reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Second-hand smoke In addition to the well-known lung cancer, smoking can also lead to nasopharyngeal cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, and even bladder cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer, etc., which can be described as “a cigarette in the hand, the whole body suffered”. In addition, studies have shown that second-hand smoke is more harmful to the body than first-hand smoke. Therefore, it is best to quickly extinguish the hands of the cigarette, the farther away from the smoke, the better. Decoration is too luxurious In addition to smoking, the pungent odor of the decoration is also the culprit leading to lung cancer. Many building materials contain cancer-causing chemicals, and the more luxurious the decoration, the greater the chance of physical harm. For children, decoration pollution is more likely to make them suffer from leukemia. Expert advice: renovation to buy furniture, building materials, do not try to cheap, in general, the lower the quality of the product the more pungent taste; renovation period must open the windows to ventilate; renovation after the end of at least two or three months to dry to stay. Family members with cancer If the previous generation suffered from breast cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, etc., the risk of the offspring suffering from cancer is much higher than that of the general population. In addition, according to the Shanghai Cancer Research Cooperative Center, at least 5 out of every 100 couples who die have “couple cancer”. This is related to the fact that couples maintain the same living habits for many years. Experts suggest that once they realize that they have unhealthy living habits, couples should take it seriously and correct them together. People with a family history of cancer should have regular cancer checkups to maintain healthy living habits better than others. Second, a cancer checkup program throughout life In today’s rapid development of medical technology, the cancer cure rate is unsatisfactory and far from what people expect. Why is this so? Shi Yuankai pointed out that the most important reason is that most of the patients are already in the middle or late stage when they visit the hospital. Cancer is something that needs to be “saved for a rainy day”, and only with early detection can the disease be truly defeated. However, routine medical checkups are not enough to catch the telltale signs of cancer. Therefore, it is very necessary to make a plan for targeted cancer screening. So, what cancer checkups do people need at various ages? After the age of 20: two years of marriage to check cervical cancer Marriage brings not only sweetness to human beings, but also brings some diseases, cervical cancer is one of them. As one of the most common malignant tumors in gynecology, cervical cancer kills more than 200,000 women every year. However, since there are no symptoms in the early stage of cervical cancer, many women are already in the advanced stage as soon as they find it. So what can be done to try to avoid this? “The first thing to do is to find out who has a high incidence of cervical cancer.” Xu Zhijian pointed out that cervical cancer is closely related to sexual life, and a large amount of data at home and abroad confirms that women with early marriage, early childbearing, multiple births, poor sexual hygiene and sexual life disorders have a higher prevalence rate. “The age of 40~60 is the high incidence age of cervical cancer; however, in recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer tends to be younger, and the number of cervical cancer patients younger than 30 years old has a significant upward trend.” Xu Zhijian said, women for the first time after two years of sexual life, it is best to start doing Pap smear for cervical cancer screening, and adhere to do once a year. 30 years old can be based on risk factors check, if three or more times the results of consecutively negative subjects, you can reduce the number of times to be examined, so that can be a good prevention of cancer invasion. It should be reminded that in the annual physical examination of some units, the item of “tumor markers” is often included. Xu Zhijian reminded that tumor markers can assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of tumor recurrence, although it can not be used as a basis for diagnosis, but if found that the value is elevated, it suggests that there may be a tumor, at this time need to do further tests to clarify the diagnosis, do not take it lightly. After 30 years old: three lines of defense against breast cancer Breasts are the symbol of women, but they have also become the biggest killer of their lives. Now, breast cancer is at the top of the list of tumors that affect women. However, Jiang Zefei said that if early diagnosis and timely treatment, patients still have a high hope of recovery. Therefore, from the age of 30, women should take care of their breasts. Abnormal menstruation, too late marriage and childbearing, have family genetics, like to eat high-fat, high-calorie food, abuse of estrogen, mental stress is a high incidence of breast cancer in women, these women are best to start from a young age when the breast cancer screening. Self-examination. This is the most convenient and easy-to-use screening method. Xu Hong said that 7~10 days after the end of menstruation is the most suitable for self-examination; women who have stopped menstruation or menopause are better to determine a fixed day of the month for self-examination. Self-examination is mainly to see and feel, one is to stand in front of the mirror to see, mainly to see the size and shape of the breast is symmetrical, whether there is any change in the contour, nipple whether there is a secretion and whether the retraction and so on. The second is to feel, using the fingertips of the index, middle and ring fingers to check for lumps in the breast by pressing, spiraling or sliding. When you find painless lumps in your breasts, localized breast or nipple indentation, enlarged lymph nodes in the armpits and other abnormalities, you should go to the hospital in time for examination.Ultrasound. Non-invasive and can be applied repeatedly. The breast tissue of women in China is denser, so ultrasound examination is more able to see all the structural changes of the breast, and is also applicable to women under 30 years old.X-ray examination. Malignant lumps often have irregular images, burrs on the edges, and are denser than the surrounding glands, all qualities that can be recognized by X-ray. However, if the breast tissue is too dense, it is not easy to detect the disease through X-ray, so it is suitable for women over 40 years old. After 40: Smokers must keep an eye on their lungs When people reach middle age, many diseases come uninvited. In the cancer family, lung cancer and stomach cancer are the two members that are most likely to “take off” at this time. To prevent and detect these two types of cancer, what medical checkup programs should be implemented? “Lung cancer accounts for the first place in the world’s cancer incidence and mortality rate, and China’s lung cancer incidence rate is the world’s first.” Zhi Xiuyi pointed out that people over 40 years old, with a history of smoking, industrial and mining workers, long-term exposure to radioactive substances and people with a family history of tumors are all at high risk of lung cancer. Lung cancer does not have any special symptoms in the early stage, which can be easily ignored by patients and doctors. Therefore, middle-aged and old people, especially those who are addicted to smoking, should be listed as the key population for lung cancer screening, and be examined once every six months to one year. Chest X-ray or CT examination can timely detect variable round shadows, pneumonia, lung atelectasis, pleural effusion, etc., which is of positive significance for early detection of lung cancer. In addition, Ji Jiafu also reminded that more than 70% of early stomach cancer also has no obvious symptoms, so physical examination becomes more important. There are many screening methods for stomach cancer, including pepsin test, Helicobacter pylori test, and gastrointestinal X-ray. Endoscopy can directly observe all parts of the stomach, and is especially valuable in diagnosing early gastric cancer. Xu Zhijian pointed out that early gastric cancer tumors are small, and after surgical resection, the 5-year survival rate can reach more than 70%. After 50 years old: finger test comes in handy Although cancer is increasingly targeting young people, its “love” for the elderly has not decreased. Especially colon cancer, prostate cancer and other tumors that are more common among the elderly, the incidence rate has been increasing in recent years. Finger test is useful for detecting colon cancer and prostate cancer, and it is very convenient and simple to operate. However, the most accurate method is screening. After the age of 50, patients with colonic and rectal polyps, family history of colon cancer, history of diarrhea, constipation, blood in stool, it is best to do colonoscopy for screening of colon lesions; and those who can not do colonoscopy, such as advanced age, frailty and serious cardiopulmonary diseases, can be regularly examined with CT colon. As for prostate cancer, Na Yanqun pointed out that prostate cancer patients in China are usually diagnosed at a late stage, which greatly affects their survival rate. “The reason why patients are diagnosed late is the lack of screening. In fact, the method of census is very simple, is to draw blood to check the prostate specific antigen (PSA), or by the doctor for anal diagnosis. Therefore, all men over the age of 50 should add this test to their physical exam.” He also emphasized that if a prostate-specific antigen is positive once, the diagnosis cannot be made hastily, and it is necessary to review the test two to three times and rule out inflammation, and perform a puncture test if necessary. The world’s cheapest cancer prevention prescription Everyone has a “proto-oncogene”, as long as the external stimulus, may be activated. This external cause often comes from our life. The International Union Against Cancer (IUAC) has published a report that there are 12 million new cancer cases worldwide every year, and up to 40% of them could have been prevented in our lives. Compared with the high cost of treatment after cancer, the following 12 kinds of cancer prevention prescriptions are the cheapest in the world. Drinking soy milk can prevent “female cancer” Soy isoflavones are a kind of phytoestrogens, which play a two-way regulation of estrogen levels in women’s bodies: when the body’s estrogen levels are low, soy isoflavones show the efficacy of raising estrogen levels; and when the body’s estrogen levels are high, it will show a reduction in the body’s estrogen levels. Role. Epidemiologic studies have shown a negative correlation between soy intake and breast cancer risk in Asian women. Soy isoflavones are mainly derived from soybeans (soy, black beans) and soy products (e.g. tofu, soy milk, etc.). It is recommended to consume 30 to 50 grams of soybeans or an equivalent amount of soy products per day (in terms of the protein they provide, 40 grams of soybeans are approximately equivalent to 200 grams of tofu, 100 grams of dried tofu, and 800 grams of soymilk, respectively) Walking for 1 hour per day The American magazine Reader’s Digest has told people that walking for 30 minutes every day after a meal, or for four hours every week, can reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer by half. A long-term study of 70,000 people at the Harvard School of Public Health also found that walking for just one hour a day can reduce the chances of developing colorectal cancer by half. This is because pancreatic cancer is related to high body heat, walking can burn calories, which can directly prevent pancreatic cancer. In addition, sweating after exercise can make the body of lead, strontium and other carcinogens with sweat out of the body, thus playing a role in cancer prevention. Drink 6 glasses of water a day One of the most authoritative medical journals in the world, the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that men who drink 6 glasses of water a day (240 grams per glass) will reduce the risk of bladder cancer by half, and women will reduce the risk of colon cancer by 45%. This is because drinking water can increase the number of urination and defecation, which may irritate the bladder mucosa, colon harmful substances, such as urea, uric acid, etc. Out of the body. 40 years of age or older, it is best to check the colonoscopy every two to three years, if there are polyps, early detection can reduce the chances of their cancerous changes. Eat with onions and garlic In China, the province with the lowest incidence of stomach cancer is Shandong, a large province of onion and garlic cultivation. In the four counties north of the Yangtze River with the lowest mortality rate of stomach cancer, the first is Cangshan County, Shandong, where per capita will eat 6 kilograms of garlic every year. This is related to the fact that allicin has an antioxidant effect, which can reduce the content of carcinogen nitrite in the human body. Some studies have shown that people who eat more garlic have a 60% lower risk of stomach cancer. Garlic can only produce allicin when it is crushed and fully combined with oxygen, and it is very unstable and will lose its effect once it is exposed to heat. Therefore, it is best to crush garlic and eat it raw, or mince it and put it in coleslaw. Sunbathing for 15 minutes In the cheapest cancer prevention prescription, sunbathing is considered to be the ultimate, without any cost, can increase the body’s vitamin D content to play a role in preventing cancer. Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of breast, colon, prostate, ovarian and stomach cancers. To avoid the increased risk of skin cancer from exposure to the sun, as little as 15 minutes of sunlight a day is enough. Four cups of green tea a day The tea-loving Japanese spent nine years doing a survey and found that drinking just four or five cups of tea a day can reduce cancer risk by 40 percent. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Nutrition and Food Safety researcher Professor Han Chi on the cancer prevention role of tea has 17 years of research, he found that oolong tea, green tea, black tea on oral cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, etc. have a good preventive effect. Among them, green tea, including Longjing, Biluochun and Maofeng, has the most significant effect, with five times more cancer-preventing ingredients than other teas. However, it is best not to drink tea that is too strong and too hot, otherwise it will affect its anti-cancer effect. The best drinking temperature should be about 60 degrees Celsius, tea steeped for 5 minutes, the active ingredients can be dissolved in the water. At least open the window for half an hour Few people know that, in addition to formaldehyde, there is a very strong carcinogenic gas – radon and its substrate. It is generally hidden in granite, cement, tiles, along the cracks in these places to diffuse into the room, through the respiratory tract into the human body, over time, will induce lung cancer. In fact, as long as the windows are opened for half an hour every day, the concentration of radon can be reduced to the same level as outdoors. In addition, radon will also be produced after the combustion of natural gas, so when boiling water in the kitchen, it is best to open the window and close the door connecting with the living room. Rub your back with a dry towel Japan had a craze of rubbing your back with a dry towel. Professor Mizuno, vice president of the University of Tokyo, pointed out that this can play a role in preventing cancer, because friction and heat will activate a kind of cell in the subcutaneous muscle tissue of the back, which can play a role in eroding and destroying cancer cells. For middle-aged and elderly people, whether rubbing, rubbing or scratching the back is a good health care method. Or use the ends of a dry towel, straight, horizontal repeatedly rubbing the whole back for about 10 minutes, until the skin is red and hot. Chew a mouthful of rice 30 times A survey proved that people who always eat in one gulp have a higher chance of developing stomach cancer. And more chewing can reduce the burden of food on the digestive tract, reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. In addition, the United States, the University of Georgia experiments found that saliva has a very strong “anti-drug” effect, can make the culprit of liver cancer aflatoxin toxicity, almost completely disappeared in 30 seconds. Therefore, according to a second chewing to calculate, a mouthful of rice is best to chew 30 times, only with cancer prevention. Sleep enough 7 hours The American Institute for Cancer Research survey found that women who sleep less than 7 hours a night have a 47% higher chance of developing breast cancer. This is because sleep produces a kind of melatonin, which slows down the production of estrogen in women’s bodies and thus serves the purpose of inhibiting breast cancer. It is best to start washing before 10:30 p.m. to prepare for bedtime, ensure that you go to sleep before 11:00 p.m., and get up at 6-7:00 a.m. In addition, German sleep experts pointed out that 1:00 noon is a person in the daytime a clear sleep peak, this time to take a nap, can also enhance the body’s immune cells active, play a certain role in cancer prevention. Eat less sugar Cancer cells favorite “food” is sugar. The Japanese book “How to Prevent Cancer” points out that when the blood flows through the tumor, about 57% of the blood sugar will be consumed by the cancer cells, and become the nutrients that nourish it. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that as little as two cups of sweetened beverages a day will increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 90 percent over those who do not drink them. Therefore, it is best to eat less or no sugary foods. Internationally, it is generally believed that the daily intake of sugar per person should be within 50 grams. Drink a glass of red wine when eating meat The grape skins used to make red wine contain a substance called resveratrol, which has a preventive effect on digestive tract cancers. In addition, the American Association for Cancer Research’s recommended serving size for red meat such as pork, beef and lamb is about 500 grams per week, and eating too much of it increases the risk of colon cancer. However, a recent study found that if you drink a glass of red wine while eating meat, the polyphenols in it can prevent the meat from breaking down into harmful substances in the stomach.
