How should young people prevent stomach cancer

In a highly developed modern society, people are exposed to many factors that may cause cancer in their daily lives. Young people in particular, as the backbone of society, have heavy work and study tasks and tend to develop irregular living habits. These factors are the high incidence factors of gastric cancer among young people. So how can young people prevent cancer in their lives?

1. Maintain good eating habits and eat on time, especially breakfast. Some young people develop the bad habit of skipping breakfast because they get up late. They think it doesn’t matter if they skip a meal. In fact, it is not true. Morning is the time when gastric acid is secreted in the stomach. Food is needed to neutralize the stomach acid. If you skip breakfast, you are likely to get gastric ulcers, which are the precursors of gastric cancer. If not treated properly, they will turn into gastric cancer.

2. Avoid eating fried, smoked and salted foods, as these foods will be converted into nitrites in the stomach, which are closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer. Pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables and fruits and maintain a certain amount of fiber intake. Scientific research has confirmed that multiple vitamins have antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, which can prevent the occurrence of cancer.

3. Live a regular life, exercise for a certain amount of time every day, and avoid staying up late. An unhealthy lifestyle can lead to endocrine disorders, decreased immune function, and susceptibility to gastric cancer.

4. Quit smoking and drink less alcohol. Experiments have shown that nicotine, tar, etc. in cigarettes will damage the gastric mucosa. Abnormal cell repair after damage is an important mechanism for the occurrence of gastric cancer. Therefore, the incidence of gastric cancer in smokers is 10 times that of non-smokers.
