As the saying goes, "A three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight," and this also applies to the development of cancer.

"Why me? Why did cancer choose me?" Many patients have this thought at the moment of diagnosis.

actuallyThe occurrence of cancer is closely related to lifestyle habits, and one of these habits is "saving" which should not be saved!

save money!

Not eating fresh fruits and vegetables

Some elderly people go to the market to buy vegetables and choose to buy cheap ones, but often the cheap fruits and vegetables may not be fresh.

Many cheap, discounted fruits and vegetables are accompanied by problems of spoilage. Mold is a Class I carcinogen. If mold covers the entire food, even if you cut off the moldy part, there is still a risk of cancer.

Correct approach:

① When shopping for groceries, try to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, meat that has been slaughtered on the same day, and fish that has been butchered on the spot, as this will give it the best nutritional value.

② In addition, there are semi-finished vegetables and fruits that are cut and matched on the market. If they have been left for too long, try to buy less of them.

Save electricity!

Do not turn on the range hood when cooking

Some elderly people are used to stir-frying over high heat, and in order to save electricity, they are reluctant to turn on the range hood...this will cause them to inhale a lot of oil smoke.

In an interview with the media, Zhuang Xiang, chief physician of thoracic surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital, said: "If you cook in a closed environment without a range hood and stay inside for an hour, the damage to your lungs is equivalent to inhaling two full packs of cigarettes!" This metaphor is chilling.

Correct approach:

① Always turn on the range hood when cooking.

② Clean the range hood regularly to ensure good ventilation conditions.

Save fuel!

I can't bear to throw away cooking oil even if it's been stored for a long time.

Many elderly people often think that cooking oil can be eaten as long as it is within the shelf life, but this is not true.

A program once did a test, which found that once cooking oil is opened, 3 months is the critical point for safe use. Oil that is not consumed within 3 months after opening is equivalent to a dangerous carcinogenic factor around us.

It is reported that after oxidation and rancidity, oils and fats are often contaminated with aflatoxin, which can produce a "rancid smell" and create a lot of smoke and choke when heated, which is closely related to liver cancer.

Correct approach:

① If there are few people in your family, it is best to buy oil in small barrels.

② Large barrels of oil must be packaged in oil cans, and it is safer to choose frosted or opaque oil cans.

③ It is best not to place the oil bottle in a place where it can be exposed to direct sunlight, such as a windowsill, as this will make it more susceptible to oxidation.

Leftovers!

There is always a dish of leftover food on the table

The older generation was very frugal with food. They would often put the food they couldn’t finish in the refrigerator and continue eating it the next day or the day after.

Song Yi, a nutritionist at the Clinical Nutrition Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, said in an interview with the media that vegetables usually contain nitrates. Under the action of bacteria, nitrates will be converted into nitrites which are harmful to the human body. The longer the storage time, the higher the nitrite content.

It’s okay to eat leftovers occasionally, but if we eat such leftovers for a long time, we will ingest a lot of nitrite, which will have some effects on the human body. The most important hazard is that it may cause cancer.

Correct approach:

① Not all leftover food has a high nitrite content. For example, the nitrite content in meat is relatively low, so meat can be leftover (but not for more than one day).

② Green leafy vegetablesIt is best to throw away the overnight food because itsAsiaHigh nitrate content.

Save effort!

Some cancers are caused by laziness.

Some people seem to spend all their time sitting for work or sleeping every day; they would never walk if they could take a car, and would never climb stairs if they could take an elevator... They are not willing to spend any effort on exercise. If they lack exercise for a long time, their risk of cancer will really increase!

Chai Li from Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital said that as early as 2013, the World Health Organization announced that laziness to exercise has become the fourth risk factor for death in the world. Lack of exercise can lead to a decrease in immune cells in the body, greatly increasing the risk of cancer. Regular and continuous physical activity can prevent cancer in certain parts of the body.

Correct approach:

① Walking is a very good exercise, which can relieve stress, strengthen muscles, and reduce weight. It is advisable to keep your head up, chest out, and walk with big strides every day for more than 30 minutes.

② When working, it is best to stand up and shake yourself, stretch your waist, and kick your legs every 20 minutes. This can also be considered a form of exercise.

save trouble!

Too lazy to have a physical examination, miss the earliest stage of cancer detection

I was too lazy to go for a physical check-up or to the hospital, wanting to save myself some trouble, but I didn’t expect to end up with a serious illness!

Many cancer patients do not go to the hospital until late-stage symptoms appear. By then it is often too late to detect the cancer. The best treatment period has been missed and the doctors are helpless.

Correct approach:

Healthy people should have regular physical examinations every year, and people with a family history of cancer or risk factors should also undergo targeted examinations every year, such as:

① People at high risk of lung cancer can undergo low-dose spiral CT examination;

② People over 40 years old and at high risk of gastric cancer should undergo regular gastroscopy examinations;

③ People aged 45 and above who are at high risk of colorectal cancer should undergo regular colonoscopy examinations;

④ It is recommended that young people in their 20s pay attention to the screening of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis indicators, when undergoing physical examinations;

⑤ Women over 25 years old should have regular breast ultrasound examinations;

⑥ For women who have sexual life, it is recommended to do TCT and HPV testing regularly;

⑦ It is recommended that people aged 40-50 years old have their cardiovascular health checked regularly every year and keep a record of blood lipids, blood pressure and other indicators.
