Fruit and vegetable fiber can reduce the risk of laryngeal cancer

Vegetables and fruits are essential foods in our lives. Another reason why they are good for the body and mind is that the fiber they contain can reduce the risk of laryngeal cancer.

Nearly 10,000 people develop laryngeal cancer in the United States each year. A comparison of the diets of 527 of these patients and nearly 1,300 patients hospitalized for non-tumor diseases found that patients whose diets contained more vegetables and fruits had a lower incidence of laryngeal cancer.

It should be noted that this situation is only seen in the fiber in fruits and vegetables, and the fiber content in general grains has no correlation with reducing the risk of laryngeal cancer. The reason for this phenomenon may be that most of the grains we eat now are processed, and the starch contained in the processed grains may exceed the protective effect of fiber. It can be seen that we can eat more roughly processed foods in our lives to prevent laryngeal cancer, and of course vegetables and fruits are even better. However, the specific mechanism by which cellulose reduces the risk of laryngeal cancer is still unclear.

It can be seen from this that cultivating a scientific and reasonable dietary structure is beneficial to the prevention of laryngeal cancer. Eat more coarse grains, vegetables, and fruits, and of course abstain from smoking and drinking.
