To prevent lung cancer, you should avoid four foods

As the saying goes, "diseases come from the mouth", the same is true for lung cancer, so if you want to better prevent and treat lung cancer, it is best not to eat some things. Chinese medicine recommends that you should avoid eating four things to prevent lung cancer. Let's take a look at what they are.

Eat less fried food. When many people cook braised fish, they always fry it in a pan first, frying the fish until both sides are browned before stewing it. This is very bad for health. When frying food with oil, if the temperature in the pan is too high, the oil inside will undergo complex chemical reactions. In particular, the leftover oil after repeated high-temperature cooking can produce carcinogens, and long-term consumption can easily cause cancer.

When cooking meat or vegetables, the temperature of the oil pan should not be too high, and the oil should not smoke. When the oil smokes in the pan, the temperature is generally over 200°C. The shorter the frying time, the better. Do not fry the surface of the food too brown, which can reduce the formation of carcinogens.

Do not eat or eat less grilled food. During the process of smoking, grilling or charring food, carcinogenic compounds such as benzopyrene are produced. Therefore, electricity or microwaves can be used instead of firewood or coal as fuel, which can shorten the grilling time and avoid grilling until the food is burnt, thus reducing soot pollution.

Do not eat moldy food. Do not eat moldy rice, millet, sorghum rice, corn, peanuts, beans and oil products, and try to eat less leftovers. Because these foods contain aflatoxin, which is a strong carcinogen.

Do not eat or eat less pickled food. The bacon, ham, cured meat, pickles, and pickled vegetables that can be bought in stores are all processed foods pickled with salt. The salt content is too high and may also contain a small amount of nitrite, secondary amines, and nitrosamines, all of which may form carcinogens after chemical reactions.

Knowing that you should avoid four foods to prevent lung cancer, try not to make fried meat, fried chicken, fried peanuts, etc. It is best to cook them by steaming, braising, boiling, stewing, stewing, and mixing them cold.
