Esophageal cancer is a lifestyle disease and can be prevented

Esophageal cancer has always been one of the most common digestive tract tumors in my country. It is usually more common in people over 40 years old, and more common in men than in women. "Esophageal cancer is actually a lifestyle disease," said the doctor. Studies have shown that the occurrence of esophageal cancer is closely related to the patient's lifestyle and eating habits. Patients generally have the characteristics of long-term smoking, drinking, liking to eat hot food, excessive intake of pickled food, eating moldy food, dietary nutrient deficiency, and trace element deficiency. Esophageal cancer also has obvious geographical clustering in my country. It is not uncommon in rural areas. The incidence rate is higher in rural areas of eastern and western Guangdong.

Therefore, if you want to stay away from esophageal cancer, you must first start with the details of your life. For example, do not eat overheated food; quit smoking and limit alcohol; do not eat too much meat, because meat has a high fat content, you can eat more fish and shrimp to meet the body's protein needs; pickles, bacon and other foods contain carcinogenic nitrites, so you should eat less; moldy rice, noodles, peanuts and other foods contain carcinogenic aflatoxin, so you should not eat them; smoked fish, meat, sausages and other foods contain carcinogenic tobacco tar, so you should eat less; a balanced diet should be maintained, and you should not buy unfresh vegetables and fruits just to save money.
