In many of your caricatures, I am a devil with an ugly face, horns on my head and a fork in my hand. I feel so aggrieved every time I see myself depicted in this way. At one time, we were such close friends. I lived in your bodies as soon as I was born, when I was still a normal cell, dressed up every day, and carefree. But the air you breathed, the water you drank, the food you ate, your daily habits, and so on, made me wake up one day and realize that I had become ugly. You guys are afraid of me and hate me, but have I ever not hated such a self? Today, I would like to tell you what is in my heart, and I hope I can provide you with useful inspiration for your “fight against cancer”. How I came into being Your body is like a huge “cell republic”, in which there are nearly one thousand trillion people living. Every minute, 300 million of them die and new ones grow. At first, I was just an ordinary one of them, and my life was uneventful until one day I realized that I was becoming less and less like myself. The first thing was that my appearance became more and more grotesque. Compared to my brothers who were about the same size and stood in regular rows, I became oddly shaped and sized. This ugly look scared me, but something even scarier was yet to come. I began to split, from one to two, two to four, and so on and so forth. Originally I was very slim, only about 10 microns in diameter, and could only be seen with a microscope, but these children and grandchildren that ran out of my body clung to me in a big mass. When I split to 1 million, the diameter of this group is only 1 millimeter, and you cannot find it with any medical examination instruments; when I grow to 1 billion, the diameter goes to 1 centimeter, and the ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET, etc. in the hospital can finally find me. However, it is very likely that you do not go for examination because you do not have any discomfort, and let me grow like this; when you can finally feel a lump on your body, my number has long exceeded one billion. This is a long “latent” process, which takes at least 5 years, but may be 10 or 30 years. Since becoming ugly, I have become more and more wild at heart and can’t stop thinking about going out into the world. This is a major difference between our cancer cells and benign tumor cells. They always stay honestly and let people kill them; we are much more cunning and spread all over your body along your circulatory system, lymphatic or bloodstream. We will destroy the structure and function of your body’s tissues and organs, making you suffer and eventually leave you. “It’s not my fault I’m ugly. I know I’ve taken the lives of many people. One out of every five deaths in China is related to us. But please think about it, who turned me, who was normal, into this ugly appearance At the 12th International Cancer Conference, an American expert said that 80% of cancers come from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. In fact, 35% of cancers are related to diet, 30% to smoking, 10% to infection, and alcohol consumption and pollution are also important factors. Don’t blame me for being a “murderer”, to a large extent, it is your lifestyle that created me Can we get along Out of fear of me, you invented the word “cancer”, but don’t forget that I used to be a part of you, one of your billions of dollars. But don’t forget, I used to be a part of you, a trillionth of you! It is because of you, who are surrounded by your “abnormal” life every day, that I am also “abnormal”. My beloved human friends, let’s get along before I become cancerous, okay? Here are the best weapons to stop me from going from a normal cell to a bad and ugly one. Eat some yellow-green foods. There are 12 million new cancer cases worldwide each year, and up to 40% of them are preventable. Yellow and green vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C can bring down the risk of stomach, bowel, lung, uterine and prostate cancers dramatically. In addition, eating more raw garlic can reduce the risk of stomach cancer by 60%. Walk an hour a day. A long-term study of 70,000 people found that walking for just one hour a day can reduce the chances of developing colorectal cancer by half. Sweating after exercise can also cause carcinogens such as lead and strontium in the body to be excreted with the sweat, thus playing a role in preventing cancer. Exercise improves immunity and can prevent many types of cancer. Sunbathe for 15 minutes. Insufficient vitamin D in the body increases the risk of breast, colon, prostate, ovarian and stomach cancers. The body absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun to synthesize vitamin D, which can play a role in preventing cancer. However, in order to avoid the increased risk of skin cancer from exposure to the sun, 15 minutes of sun exposure per day is sufficient. Get seven hours of sleep. When you sleep, many immunity factors will be produced at this time, they are like a barrier to protect you. When you have enough sleep, your immunity is strengthened, and it is much more difficult for cancer cells to “attack” the human body. Napping is a very good habit of the Chinese people, 1:00 noon is a human sleep peak, this time to take a nap, can also enhance the body’s immune cell activity, play a certain role in cancer prevention. Eat less sugar. As a cancer cell, my favorite “food” is sugar, 57% of the sugar in your blood is used to nourish me, so that I can not control the more divided more. Studies have found that if you drink just two cups of sweetened beverages a day, your risk of developing pancreatic cancer is 90% higher than if you don’t drink them. So, sugary foods, it’s better to eat them sparingly or not at all. In fact, if you love yourselves, I can always be a “healthy baby” in normal cells; if you wantonly squander your life, and do not even love yourselves, I can only give up on myself and become uglier and uglier. You still have a chance to correct your mistakes during my long growth process – to find me as early as possible and eliminate me! As long as you check your blood for “cancer markers” once a year, have a gastroscopy at age 40, a colonoscopy at age 50, have regular liver checkups for chronic viral hepatitis, have a chest CT for smokers once a year, have a breast checkup for adult women once a year, and have a prostate checkup for men over 50, you’ll be able to detect me in my infancy to a large extent, but you should always listen to your doctor. Then you must listen to your doctor, take the medicine you need to take, have the surgery you need to have, and don’t go soft on me!
