Most cancers can be described as "life killers", not only the treatment process is painful, but the cure rate varies from person to person, which is why most people feel that their lives are short when they hear about cancer.
As for the specific causes of various types of cancer, there are many aspects, and many of them are related to personal dietary habits and lifestyle habits.
There are three groups of people with a high incidence of cancer, most of which are closely related to lifestyle habits.
Just like Mr. Li, he is a delivery man who eats irregularly every day, and sometimes chooses to eat at a stall or take out in order to save time.
I don't cook my own meals very often, and my body shape has begun to develop horizontally.
I don't know if it's because of the drinking or other factors, but in just a few months, I have a beer belly. Friends advised him to lose weight as soon as possible, being overweight is not good for his body.
But Mr. Li didn't take it to heart, even if he had stomach pain, he only thought it was ordinary gastritis and took medicine to deal with it.
As a result, within three years, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and needed to remove part of his stomach tissue.
In addition, it is necessary to take medication for life, check at a fixed time, and pay attention to diet at all times.
Mr. Li is one of the people with a high incidence of cancer, and he is not alone. It is precisely such an example that makes it more necessary to pay attention to prevention.
So what are the three groups of people that need more attention?
1. Obese people: groups with a high incidence of cancer
According to relevant expert research, the cancer rate of obese people is much higher than that of ordinary people, which has to be vigilant.
Mr. Wu is a company manager, who socializes every day, smokes and drinks every day, and takes stomach medicine to relieve stomach upset, and does not have the awareness to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
In addition, because I often go out on business trips and eat irregularly, I will overeat from time to time.
In addition, the commuting time is not fixed, and it is common for the rest time to be reversed day and night, and the personal living habits can be called a mess.
What has always supported Mr. Wu is a satisfactory salary, and he needs to support his family, but he forgets that once his health is gone, no matter how much money he has, it will be a floating cloud.
In less than a few years, like Mr. Li, Mr. Wu's body is getting fatter and fatter, belonging to abdominal obesity, and the probability of suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is also increasing.
Although he tried to lose weight, his work made him give up again and again, and finally chose to rot.
As you can imagine, Mr. Wu was diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer, which has reached the middle and advanced stages, and there is basically no possibility of cure, even if surgery is chosen, it is difficult to prevent the spread of cancer cells throughout the body.
This is why doctors often emphasize that we should pay attention to our diet and eat less high-calorie and high-fat foods, which will cause stress on internal organs.
In addition, long-term intake of such foods can also cause changes in hormone levels in the body.
It causes excessive aromatase secretion in the body, which accelerates the conversion of estrogen precursors, and the estrogen level is unstable.
The level of estrogen is inseparable from a variety of cancers, such as bowel cancer, stomach cancer, etc., which are cancers with a high mortality rate.
In addition, excessive obesity can also affect insulin secretion, cause insulin resistance in the long term, easily cause hyperinsulinemia, increase the possibility of genetic mutations and cancer.
In addition to paying attention to the diet structure, there is another point that is easy to overlook, which is to try to avoid eating and drinking.
Frequent overeating and drinking will increase the pressure on the stomach on the one hand, and increase the burden on the pancreas on the other, which in turn will affect the normal function of the duodenum.
In the long run, it is easy to suffer from pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., and it is not easy to cure.
In this way, it seems that obese patients are susceptible to cancers related to the digestive system, and the probability of developing other cancers is not high.
This is not the case, studies have found that obesity is also more susceptible to cancers such as uterine cancer and thyroid cancer.
Obese people can be called a veritable group with a high incidence of cancer, and the cause of weight loss cannot be delayed.
2. Alcoholism and smoking: cancer comes to the door
People who drink heavily and smoke are also at high risk of cancer, such as liver cancer and lung cancer.
The cure rate is also very low, and it is not easy to be detected in the early stage, and it is easy to develop to the middle or advanced stage, which affects the treatment.
Alcohol is inherently carcinogenous, but for a variety of reasons, alcoholic beverages are an essential part of most families' tables.
Therefore, the number of alcoholics is also increasing, and excessive consumption will increase the risk of colon cancer, liver cancer, etc.
Uncle Sun belongs to the type of people who never leave their mouths, they like to drink when they are young, and they basically have a glass of liquor every meal.
The amount of alcohol is also increasing, and the so-called "alcohol addiction" has been developed, and if you don't drink for a day, you will feel uncomfortable, and your temper will become more and more irritable.
As I get older, instead of decreasing the number of people I drink, I become more alcoholic.
For this reason, Uncle Sun's family also persuaded him to pay attention to his body and drink less alcohol.
But he didn't take it to heart, and even thought that liquor could strengthen his body.
As a result, he suffered from coronary heart disease just over 60 and needed to take medication for life, and doctors recommended quitting tobacco and alcohol.
But Uncle Sun only persisted for a year, and then returned to the habit of eating liquor, drinking while taking medicine, and not taking the doctor's instructions seriously.
In less than three years, during regular physical examinations, he was diagnosed with liver cancer, which has progressed to the middle stage and requires surgical intervention.
As soon as he heard the news, he immediately collapsed on the ground, and the person became more and more pessimistic.
After being discharged from the hospital, Uncle Sun threw out all the liquor at home as soon as he got home, and he really didn't stick to the wine.
Perhaps for this reason, the recovery after surgery is good, and the cancer cells have not spread widely in the body, which is really lucky.
Similar to alcoholics are smokers, or both.
Like alcoholic beverages, cigarettes are carcinogens, and the longer you smoke, the greater the risk of developing cancers such as lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer.
Long-term smoking can cause damage to cells in the body, which can lead to genetic mutations or cancer.
It is also addictive, and it is common for heavy smokers to have two or three packs of cigarettes a day, and it is not easy to quit. In the process of early withdrawal, the body will experience a series of adverse reactions.
For example, restlessness, sneezing, etc., this is why cigarettes are not easy to quit, and it is also an important reason why the country strictly prohibits underage smoking.
Instead of regretting it when you have cancer, it is better to stay away from it at the beginning, tobacco and alcohol are not good things, let alone a "stress relief artifact".
It is just consuming the body's energy in advance, giving people the illusion of "refreshing the mind".
3. Staying up late and becoming addicted: it attracts cancer
Now it seems that staying up late has become the norm for young people, going to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock is already early to bed, and going to bed at two or three o'clock in the morning has become the norm.
For this reason, the doctor also said that the damage to the body caused by staying up late is irreversible, and it is recommended to fall asleep before 11 o'clock and give all organs sufficient rest time.
Staying up late often will cause the "biological clock" in the body to be chaotic and cause problems in body functions.
The pineal gland plays a regulatory role, sending "sleep signals" to the brain by regulating the secretion of melatonin.
However, staying up late for a long time or reversing day and night can cause this function to be dysfunctional, and the secretion of melatonin begins to slowly decrease, increasing the risk of cancer.
In addition, night is also the most vigorous period of cell fission, and the possibility of mutation in normal cells is greatly increased.
Xiaofeng is a serious patient who stays up late, and it is even more common to reverse day and night, and from time to time he will stay up all night.
During the day, I am even more sluggish, my study state can't keep up at all, and I can't quit staying up late.
In the long run, they have fallen into a vicious circle, coupled with their poor eating habits, habit of eating and drinking, and lack of exercise, and their physical condition can be imagined.
Xiaofeng also tried to fall asleep at normal times, but his brain was still in a state of excitement and he lost sleep until the early hours of the morning.
In the end, he chose to break the can, and spent three years in college staying up late, and his body's immunity decreased significantly.
As a result, during the physical examination after graduation, Xiaofeng was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Not only did I lose my job offer, but my life also came to a standstill.
Fortunately, thyroid cancer is not the "king of cancers", and the cure rate is very high.
After about half a year of rest and adjustment, he chose to regain his strength and start a new life.
After this experience, Xiaofeng also realized the danger of staying up late, and began to force himself to go to bed early and get up early, and slowly developed a regular "biological clock", and the body's immunity was significantly improved.
As for how to adjust the "biological clock", this may be a problem that most late-night sleepers need to solve, and you can start from several aspects.
First, prepare for bed, such as soaking your feet, reading a book, etc., and stay away from electronic devices to allow your body to gradually relax.
Second, get enough sleep, try to fall asleep before 11 p.m., and get at least eight hours of sleep.
Third, don't sleep "back to sleep" after getting up at the end, and adjust your state in time.
Fourth, if you stick to it for a long time, a regular "biological clock" will slowly form, and you don't need to worry about the difficulty of falling asleep.
epilogue
Talking about cancer discoloration can be said to be the norm for most people, and there is a fear of cancer deep down.
Especially in today's fast-paced and high-pressure lifestyle, the probability of cancer is getting higher and higher, and many cancers have begun to develop in the direction of youth, which has to be noted.
Genetic factors aside, daily lifestyle habits are closely related to the occurrence of cancer.
A regular diet and a healthy lifestyle will not only improve the body's immunity, but also greatly reduce the risk of cancer.
However, this requires a very high level of self-discipline on the individual, and those who can really adhere to it from beginning to end belong to the minority.
So instead of regretting it when you get cancer, it's better to start prevention early.
For example, obesity, to avoid this situation, it is necessary to keep your mouth shut and open your legs, eat less high-calorie, high-fat food, and make the diet more reasonable.
It is necessary to eat three meals regularly, especially breakfast, and not eat from time to time, which will cause a burden on the stomach.
Alcoholism, smoking, and staying up late are easier to correct than dietary discipline.
The most important thing is to see if you have the determination and the attitude to be responsible for your own health.
