It's easy to overlook! If you have these 3 symptoms in your shoulder, it means that you are likely to be targeted by multiple cancers!
If you want to prevent cancer, you must learn to eat 3 types of food, one of which is especially suitable for young people and can help prevent many types of cancer!
If you have 3 symptoms in your shoulder, it is likely that you will be a cancer warning!
Shoulder problems can be easily overlooked, and can be easily confused with pain and soreness caused by exertion. However, if you notice these 3 symptoms in your shoulder, be sure to get it checked quickly.
1. Shoulder pain may indicate lung cancer and liver cancer?
According to a report by foreign media Insider, a 76-year-old woman in United States was diagnosed with lung cancer during a CT scan because of shoulder pain, and she died only 25 days after diagnosis.
This case is not an isolated case, and it is often reported in the news that many people end up with lung cancer due to shoulder pain. At first, most people ignore the symptoms of shoulder pain, thinking that shoulder pain may be a small problem such as muscle soreness and frozen shoulder, and when the shoulder pain is so severe that it cannot be relieved and it is checked by the hospital, it is an advanced stage of cancer!
It turns out that whether it is lung cancer or liver cancer, after it spreads in an advanced stage, cancer cells may run through the bloodstream to various parts of the body, and if there is bone metastasis, it may implicate the nerves and muscles of the shoulder, resulting in shoulder pain.
How can you tell if your shoulder pain is ordinary shoulder muscle tension, frozen shoulder, or the dreaded cancer? You can tell by 3 symptoms!
1. Stretching pain in the right shoulder: suggesting liver cancer
Liver cancer cells can squeeze on surrounding tissues and the nervous system, and when the tumor invades upwards to the top of the diaphragm, it can cause stretching pain in the right shoulder (a tearing pain in the shoulder when moving).
2. Persistent pain
If the shoulder pain can be relieved and may not hurt at times, there is no need to panic excessively. If the pain in the shoulder is persistent and cannot be relieved by rest, plasters, acupuncture, etc., but the pain is getting worse and worse, you need to be alert to whether it is caused by cancer.
3. The pain is rapidly aggravated and there is a sense of pressure
If the back pain worsens rapidly and there is a feeling of pressure, it may be shoulder pain caused by bone metastases from cancer.
2. Swelling of the shoulder, which may be a kind of "tumor"
Some people will find that a small lump appears on their shoulder, which usually does not hurt or itch, but occasionally feels painful when pressed, may this indicate cancer?
In fact, this small lump may be a benign tumor—a lipoma. Lipomas mostly appear in the subcutaneous layer of the trunk, head, shoulders and neck, you can feel a small soft ball under your skin, this small ball can be pushed around, very soft, and will increase with the weight of the person, at this time we should be alert to whether there is a lipoma. Although the chance of a lipoma becoming malignant is very low, if a lipoma is found to be painful, it is best to go to the doctor and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
3. Changes in the skin of the shoulders indicate a variety of cancers!
Changes in skin color and texture may indicate cancer. For example, when liver cancer and kidney cancer occur, due to the decline of the body's detoxification ability, the skin may appear dark color, itchy skin, skin pain, rough skin and other problems, and these problems are not necessarily only manifested on the face, if there are similar skin abnormalities on the shoulders and limbs, you also need to be vigilant. Changes in the skin can not only indicate liver cancer and kidney cancer, but also may more intuitively indicate the occurrence of skin cancer.
How to eat to prevent cancer?
If symptoms have already appeared, then there is a good chance that cancer has already occurred. How can we prevent cancer before it happens? Studies have found that 3 types of foods can be solved!
1. Foods containing carotene reduce the risk of lung cancer by 42%.
A 2019 study published in the Journal of United Kingdom Nutrition pointed out that the β-carotene in carrots will be converted into vitamin A after entering the human body, which can help maintain the normal metabolism of epithelial tissue, maintain the integrity of cell membranes, inhibit tumor growth, and regulate immune function. Studies have found that carrots can reduce the risk of lung cancer by 42%!
Foods rich in β-carotene:
1. Carrots: about 60 ~ 80% of the total carotenoids contained.
2. Sweet potato: The β-carotene content is comparable to that of carrots.
3. Dark green vegetables: High in β-carotene.
4. Pumpkin: The β-carotene content is the highest among melons and can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
5. Papaya: The sugar content is not too high, and it is also a good fruit for diabetics.
6. Cantaloupe and muskmelon: The disadvantage is that the sweetness is high, so it is not suitable for diabetics.
7. Colored bell peppers
8. Pea kernels
9. Broccoli
2. Cruciferous vegetables rich in indole and isothiocyanate inhibit a variety of cancers
A number of studies have confirmed that indole and isothiocyanate can effectively inhibit the occurrence of lung cancer, breast cancer and other cancers. And the foods rich in these anti-cancer substances are mainly cruciferous vegetables.
3. Foods rich in quercetin, such as apples and tomatoes, are more suitable for young people to prevent a variety of cancers
Studies have found that quercetin has a strong antioxidant rate and can inhibit lung cancer, prostate cancer, blood cancer and other cancers, and the younger you are, the better the anti-cancer effect of quercetin.
