  • One-third of Cancer Diseases Are Caused by Bad Eating Habits
  • People's Daily reported that, cancer has become the Number One threat to human life. It is a common and frequently-occurring disease which seriously endangers the health of people. Cancer experts have pointed out that, besides the genetic factor, cancer is also highly related with the environmental factors, in which diet is one of the most important.

    Relevant researches have pointed out that about one-third of the cancer diseases have something to do with the poor eating habits in daily life. With the gradual improvement of the living standards, people tend to eat more refined foods at the meal, while the intake of coarse grains and cereals is reduced. Such modern poor eating habit will lead to a series of cancers, which seriously affect the health of human body. For example:

    First, lack of cellulose will increase the incidence of colorectal cancer.

    Second, excessive intake of high-fat, high-protein foods has become an important reason for the increasing incidence of breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

    Third, about 75% of the head and neck cancer is caused by drinking alcohol and smoking.

    Fourth, people who like to eat hard, hot, and pungent foods will easily suffer from esophageal cancer.

    Fifth, gastric cancer has something to do with too much intake of smoked foods or foods which contain nitrate, such as sausage, ham, pickles, dried salted fish and so on.

    Sixth, eating mildewed corn, peanut, rice and other foods or drinking unsanitary water will make people susceptible to liver cancer.

    Seventh, people who prefer to eat sweet and greasy foods are most likely to suffer from pancreatic cancer.

    Eighth, insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits has something to do with colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer and esophageal cancer.

    As a result, cancer experts point out that, the most important thing of cancer prevention is to establish a reasonable and healthy diet structure, develop good eating habits, and supported by scientific sports and exercises.

    First of all, make a reasonable adjustment of the diet structure. The diet should contain adequate nutrition, and the foods should be diversified.

    Secondly, change the bad eating habits. Do not drink alcohol; do not smoke; control the intake of high-fat foods; take in more vegetable oil; eat less salt, with less than 6 grams of sodium chloride every day for an ordinary man; limit the intake of pickled foods, and so on.

    Last but not the least, take some exercises every day, which is also very helpful for the prevention of cancer.
