Preventing esophageal cancer starts with correcting bad diet

Esophageal cancer is a disease with a high incidence rate. Its cause is closely related to people’s bad eating habits. Therefore, prevention of esophageal cancer starts with correcting bad diet.

1. Ensure a nutritionally balanced diet

Prevention of esophageal cancer starts with a nutritionally balanced diet, ensuring a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables as well as soy products and dairy products to increase food diversity and prevent nutrient deficiencies.

2. Avoid eating too hot food to prevent esophageal burns

Long-term intake of overheated food is likely to cause chronic heat loss in the esophagus, thereby increasing the incidence of esophageal cancer. Therefore, in daily diet, you should avoid consuming boiling milk, coffee, tea, soup, porridge and other foods to prevent the occurrence of esophageal cancer.

3. Refuse to consume carcinogenic foods

Substances such as nitrosamines and molds have obvious carcinogenic effects. In daily diet, we should pay special attention to preventing food contamination to prevent the intake of contaminated food. In addition, we should avoid eating overnight vegetables, rotten fruits, moldy food, and eat less pickled vegetables, salted fish, bacon, fried, deep-fried, and grilled foods to prevent carcinogens from accumulating in the body and inducing esophageal cancer.

4. Pay attention to drinking water safety

Ensuring the safety of daily drinking water is one of the key points in preventing esophageal cancer. Not only should the water source be unpolluted, but attention should also be paid to drinking water hygiene and sufficient daily drinking water intake should be ensured.
