Is it possible to avoid cancer for life? Doctors give these suggestions, please save them

In recent years, if you pay close attention to the people around you, you will find that more and more people are suffering from cancer, so many people are worried that they may get cancer in the future. Is it possible to avoid getting cancer in your life? Let's discuss it together.

Why do people get cancer? Once people are diagnosed with cancer, their first reaction is to want to know "why". The cause of cancer explained by modern mainstream medical theory is very complex, and there is no definite conclusion so far. It is mainly analyzed from two aspects: external and internal factors.

Exogenous carcinogens are divided into chemical carcinogens, physical carcinogens and biological carcinogens.

Physical carcinogenic factors include long-term chronic stimulation such as heat, machinery, ultraviolet rays, and radiation.

Biological carcinogenic factors: (1) Viruses and bacteria are important biological carcinogenic factors. Immunological studies have also confirmed that many cancer patients have antiviral antibodies in their serum. Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) viruses can cause liver cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause cervical cancer, and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) can cause gastric cancer. (2) Some grains, foods, and vegetables may contain carcinogenic molds, such as Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium, Alternaria, and Aspergillus versicolor. Among biological carcinogenic factors, some parasites are also related to cancer, such as Clonorchis sinensis, which is related to bile duct cancer.

Endogenous carcinogenic factors are divided into the following four categories:

1. Endocrine dysfunction, the most important of which is sex hormone disorder;

2. Neuropsychiatric factors. Traditional Chinese medicine has long believed that tumors are the result of stagnation of qi and blood due to depression, damage to the spleen and stomach, etc.

3. Immune status. The human body has anti-tumor immune function. If this immune function is strong, it can eliminate cancer cells. If this immune function is weak, cancer is likely to occur under the influence of carcinogenic factors.

4. Genetic factors. It is not yet completely clear whether tumors can be inherited, but according to clinical observations, some tumors have a genetic tendency.

In short, the occurrence of cancer has a certain relationship with the nature, intensity and duration of exogenous carcinogenic factors, and also has an important relationship with the internal factors of the human body. Although external factors are important, they can only work on the basis of internal factors.

In addition, the Kimmel Cancer Center in the United States has an interesting study: All organs in the human body are composed of cells, and cell growth and differentiation can meet the needs of the body. This orderly process can keep people healthy. Nearly 2/3 of cancer gene mutations can be attributed to random errors in DNA replication that occur during the division of healthy cells, while genetic genes and environmental factors have relatively little impact.

Researchers pointed out that random DNA mutations accumulated in various parts of the body during cell differentiation are the culprits behind the occurrence of many tumors. Changing lifestyles and abandoning bad habits can only avoid certain types of cancer, but it is useless for some cancers. People should focus more on detecting this type of tumor as early as possible, diagnosing and treating it early. However, the conclusions of this study are not fully recognized by scholars. The pathogenesis of cancer is still a difficult problem that plagues contemporary medicine, and prevention still plays a vital role in the field of cancer.

Prevention of various cancers Many tumors can be prevented through the prevention of known carcinogenic factors and health education programs. So, how to prevent the occurrence of cancer? Here is a brief introduction to changing personal unhealthy lifestyles to prevent cancer.

Some progress has been made in promoting smoking cessation, and more efforts should be made to promote smoking cessation, especially among young people, women and the third world. Passive smoking is often more harmful to non-smokers, so smoking should be banned in all public places. Excessive drinking is another important cause of cancer, especially when drinking and smoking at the same time, the risk of cancer is even greater. Avoiding excessive drinking and replacing various alcoholic drinks with non-ethanol (alcoholic) beverages can greatly reduce the incidence of liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer.

Promote physical activities to promote intestinal contraction, speed up the excretion of carcinogens in food residues in the intestines, and reduce the occurrence of colon cancer. People who work in a sitting position for a long time should exercise regularly, at least 3 times a week, 30 minutes each time. Doing radio gymnastics during work breaks can also help prevent cancer. Excessive sunlight exposure can easily cause skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc.). Farmers and outdoor workers should pay attention to avoid direct sunlight exposure. Wearing hats, protective clothing and applying sunscreen can prevent skin cancer.

Improving eating habits, eating more yellow fruits, dark green vegetables and high-fiber grains, and eating less fat, especially animal fat, can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer. Recent studies have shown that reducing animal fat in the diet by 50% can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by more than half. Various high-fiber foods, such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, beans, grains and nuts, can effectively reduce the incidence of adenomatous polyposis, thereby reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer.

Avoid eating too coarse and spicy food, and eat less smoked and moldy food to prevent esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. Eating more foods rich in vitamins, such as yellow vegetables and fruits (rich in vitamin A), tomatoes and lemons (rich in vitamin C), as well as grains and vegetable oils (rich in vitamin E), can also prevent the occurrence of various cancers. Obese people are more likely to suffer from colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer than people of normal weight. Appropriate exercise and limiting the intake of high-calorie foods (especially animal fats and sugars) can reduce the occurrence of these cancers.

In conclusion:

Nowadays, the pressure of life is increasing and the pace of life is getting faster. Many people's lifestyles are disordered. For example, they skip breakfast and eat a lot of meat and fish for dinner, stay up late frequently, and lack physical exercise. These will promote the occurrence and development of tumors. Prevention is more important than treatment. Therefore, we should change our lifestyles as much as possible to make them healthier. For example, we should ensure that we eat three meals a day on time, eat according to the ratio of 3:4:3 for morning, noon and evening, try not to stay up late, go to bed early and get up early, etc. Only by doing these can our risk of cancer be reduced.

I hope everyone will pay attention to cancer and prevent it!
