Why do you feel afraid of a disease? Because we are all just seeing the appearance of disease!
For example, the high incidence of "cancer" in recent years, in the eyes of many people, is a malignant disease that suddenly appears and then rapidly develops to an advanced stage.
Some people even think that cancer depends on personal luck, and the diagnosis of cancer means that it is a bad fate.
But in fact, cancer is never determined by luck, it is a chronic disease with a cause that can be checked and prevented!
As far as the data available to the clinic is concerned, cancer is a genetic disease caused by the joint action of multiple factors, and there are indeed objective factors that we cannot change, such as genetic genes and age growth.
But there are also many acquired factors that can be changed and avoided. If you don't want to find yourself in the future, it is necessary to do the following from now on:
1, prevention of pathogen infection: there are many bacteria and viruses are closely related to cancer, such as a class of carcinogens Helicobacter pylori and gastric cancer, hepatitis B virus and liver cancer, HPV virus and cervical cancer, HIV virus and various cancers and so on. Therefore, if you want to reduce the chance of cancer in the future, you must first cut off the possibility of pathogen transmission.
From the clinical data, the transmission mode of Helicobacter pylori is mainly oral and fecal-oral transmission, and everyone should choose the meal system and tableware separately. Other viruses are closely related to unhealthy sexual behavior, and everyone should avoid chaotic sexual behavior.
In addition, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and HIV, as well as blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission and other routes, everyone should be vigilant;
2, do a good job of sun protection: studies have shown that ultraviolet radiation is the biggest risk factor for skin cancer, clinically nearly 86% of malignant melanoma, 90% of melanoma skin cancer are related to ultraviolet rays.
The most effective way to reduce the prevalence of skin cancer is to reduce sun exposure.
For example, we should avoid direct exposure to the noonday sun, appropriate use of sunscreen products, wear sunscreen clothing, etc., which are better ways to avoid ultraviolet rays;
3, smoking cessation: cigarettes contain thousands of chemicals, of which 69 have the potential to cause cancer. Studies have confirmed that people who smoke a lot for a long time are 10 to 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer than people who do not smoke.
The younger the age at which tobacco is first introduced, the greater the chance of future cancer. In addition to lung cancer, cigarettes are also closely associated with oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers;
4, abstinence from alcohol: In 1987, the International Agency for Research on Cancer under the World Health Organization has included alcohol in the ranks of carcinogens, which belongs to the same class of carcinogens as cigarettes. Alcohol is at least closely associated with cancers, including gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and so on.
The relationship between alcohol and cancer can be divided into two parts: chemical damage and mechanical damage, which will directly damage the mucosa of the digestive tract and liver cells, and metabolites will poison cells, promote cell damage, death, and DNA mutation; therefore, active abstinence from alcohol is necessary.
5, weight control: obesity not only increases the risk of heart disease, three highs, bone and joint diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but also increases the risk of cancer.
Clinical studies have shown that more than 20 different types of cancer are related to excess weight, the most typical of which are breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and colorectal cancer.
Therefore, everyone should actively control their weight in life, control their mouths, and open their legs;
6, dietary adjustment: dietary adjustment can be divided into two parts, the first is to stay away from unhealthy, can cause damage to the digestive tract eating habits, such as avoiding overeating, three meals are not fixed, eating too fast, eating hot food and other bad habits.
The second is to stay away from unhealthy foods, such as high-fat and low-fiber dietary patterns, processed meats and cured foods containing nitrosamines, fried foods containing acrylamide, and a class of carcinogens such as betel nut.
In addition to doing the above six points, we must also understand that after all, the emergence of cancer is the result of the joint action of multiple factors. We can change the way we live and eat, but we can't change our genes and age.
Therefore, for high-risk groups with a family history of cancer and age over 45 years old, it is also necessary to conduct regular targeted anti-cancer screening.
