How to prevent intestinal polyps: 6 tips

Intestinal polyps are abnormal tumors that grow in our intestines. They can be benign or malignant. Intestinal polyps are the culprit of many intestinal cancers, so it is very necessary to prevent the occurrence of intestinal polyps. To prevent intestinal polyps, we must start by improving our lifestyle and eating habits, thereby controlling the possibility of infection at the source and achieving the goal of preventing intestinal polyps.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption; the World Health Organization predicts that if people stop smoking, the world's cancer will be reduced by 1/3 in five years; secondly, do not drink alcohol.

Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances. People who smoke and drink for a long time are very likely to develop an acidic constitution and induce intestinal polyps.

2. Pay attention to your diet

Do not eat too much salty and spicy food, and do not eat overheated, too cold, expired or spoiled food; the elderly and weak or those with a genetic gene for certain diseases should eat some anti-cancer foods and alkaline foods with high alkaline content as appropriate to maintain a good mental state.

Have a good attitude to deal with stress, combine work and rest, and avoid overwork. It can be seen that stress is an important cause of intestinal polyps. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress leads to overwork and physical weakness, which in turn causes decreased immune function and endocrine disorders.

Metabolic disorders in the body lead to the deposition of acidic substances in the body; stress can also lead to mental tension, causing qi stagnation, blood stasis, internal invasion of toxic fire, etc.

Strengthen physical exercise, improve physical fitness, exercise more in the sun, and sweat more to excrete acidic substances in the body with sweat, avoiding the formation of an acidic constitution and causing intestinal polyps.

Life should be regular. People with irregular living habits, such as singing karaoke all night, playing mahjong, staying out all night, etc., will aggravate the acidification of the body and are prone to intestinal polyps.

We should develop good living habits to maintain a weak alkaline physique, keep cell proliferation and mutation diseases away from ourselves.
