The population of colorectal cancer in this region ranks first in Taiwan! Nutritionist warns: Stop eating "8 foods" to feed cancer cells
Li Kuncheng was shocked to hear that he died of cancer! Is there a big difference in the prevalence of colorectal cancer between the north and the south?
Recently, the well-known lyricist Li Kuncheng died of colorectal cancer, and the “grandfather-grandson relationship” with Lin Jingen, who was 40 years his junior, came to an end. The “King of Cancer” who has been ranked among the top ten cancers for many years has once again attracted public attention. In fact, many celebrities such as Zhu Geliang, He Yihang, and Li Guoxiu have also died of colorectal cancer. Dietitian Gao Minmin reminded in the community that those who like to eat heavy food and are accustomed to eating large amounts of fish and meat should beware that colorectal cancer has silently come to seek death.
In fact, the prevalence rate of colorectal cancer in Taiwan is different in different regions? Gao Minmin nutritionist lists the top 6 as follows:
497 people from Yunjia South District
467 people from the Greater Taipei area
420 people from Gaoping District
369 people from Central District
365 people from North District
354 people from Huadong District
Among them, 497 people per 100,000 people in Yunjia South District are suffering from colorectal cancer, which means that 1 person in every 200 people is at risk of cancer. Dietitian Gao Minmin explains that in recent years, the average age of people suffering from colorectal cancer has been declining year by year, and is about 5-10 years younger than before. It can be seen that the eating habits of most people are still heavy on greasy and salty foods, and the long-term impact on the body can be said It does more harm than good.
The population suffering from cancer is getting younger year by year! 6 habits you must learn to prevent colorectal cancer
Nutritionist Gao Minmin emphasized that if you want to avoid colorectal cancer, the key is to improve your “eating habits.” People should abide by the following 6 principles in life to initially reduce the risk of cancer:
Avoid processed meat: Processed meat has been classified as a Level 1 carcinogen.
Eat more original foods: Avoid processed foods.
Avoid carcinogenic foods: Fried food, barbecue, alcohol, red meat, and high-sugar drinks are all carcinogenic foods.
Eat more fruits and vegetables: It is recommended to consume 2 bowls of vegetables and 2 bowls of fruits every day. In addition to increasing dietary fiber intake, it can also nourish good intestinal bacteria.
Maintain bowel habits: Developing the habit of regular bowel movements can help clean the intestines.
Maintain exercise habits: It not only helps the body detoxify, but also promotes gastrointestinal digestion.
Less oil, less salt and less refined sugar are the key points! 8 types of cancer-causing and cancer-preventing foods to understand at once
In addition to colorectal cancer, the “king of cancers”, preventing the occurrence of all cancers is also one of the important tasks. Nutritionist Gao Minmin lists 8 “cancer” and “cancer prevention” foods as follows:
Cancer foods
Barbecuing: When meat is grilled at high temperatures, the carcinogen “isocyclic amines” will be produced, increasing the risk of cancer.
Fried food: It is easy to produce “cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds”, which is one of the risk factors for colorectal cancer.
High-fat foods: easily nourish cancer cells and cause cancer. In addition, it is also prone to risks such as cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Moldy and contaminated food: It is easy to breed “aflatoxin”, which is a strong carcinogen and can easily damage the kidneys and liver.
Pickled and smoked foods: Pickled and smoked foods are prone to produce “dimethylnitrite” and “benzopyrene” respectively, both of which are carcinogens.
Processed meat: Processed meat has been classified as a first-level carcinogen. Most of it contains added nitrite, which may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
Betel nut: “Betel nut” is also a first-level carcinogen. Regular consumption can easily lead to fibrosis of the oral mucosa and lead to oral cancer.
Alcohol: Acetaldehyde produced by drinking alcohol is a first-level carcinogen and can easily cause cancers such as oral cancer, throat cancer, and esophageal cancer.
Anti-cancer foods
Cruciferous vegetables: They are rich in indole. Studies have shown that indole may be related to the prevention of colorectal cancer.
Apples: Contain “quercetin” and dietary fiber, which help reduce the risk of tumor formation.
Cherries: Contain anthocyanins, which have antioxidant effects; and are rich in vitamin C, which can help reduce the chance of cancer.
Cranberry: Contains antioxidants such as “berry polyphenols” to help reduce the risk of inflammation.
Grapes: “Resveratrol” helps slow down the growth of cancer cells and inhibits tumor growth.
Carrots: “Carotenoids” help fight cancer.
Tomato: “Lycopene” can prevent tumor formation and prevent cancer cell proliferation.
Nuts and walnuts: The “unsaturated fatty acids” in them are a good source of fat and can slow down the development of cancer.
Based on the above, improving living and eating habits reflects the importance of “prevention is better than cure”. Dietitian Gao Minmin appeals to the public to effectively prevent cancer and inhibit the growth of cancer cells through a balanced intake of six major food categories and cooking techniques with less oil, less salt, and less refined sugar. In particular, the large intestine is an important digestive organ in the body. When there is a condition in the large intestine, it will affect the digestive organs and defecation, thus doubling the risk of cancer.
Finally, nutritionist Gao Minmin suggested that people aged 50-75 should not only develop good habits such as drinking more water, exercising more, staying up less late, and maintaining a happy mood, but they can also take free colorectal cancer screening and 1 If you have a fecal occult blood test, if your eating habits are not ideal or you have a family history, you should pay for the test in advance and keep track. This will give you more prevention and peace of mind.
