Nine bad habits are most likely to cause cancer

When many people hear the word "cancer", they immediately turn pale at the mention of the disease. But do you know that perhaps the lifestyle you enjoy every day is slowly leading you to cancer? If some bad living habits persist for 10 years, you will become a "cancer candidate" because during these 10 years, cancer cells will not only be produced, but will also grow and eventually conquer and invade other organs of the body.

Drink hot water, go to bed late, hold bowel movements, be picky, and eat less fruits and vegetables. These unhealthy lifestyles will slowly lead you to cancer. Do you have any of the following cancer-causing lifestyle behaviors?

1. Drink boiling water

Many people like to make a cup of Kung Fu tea in their spare time, but they don’t know that this freshly brewed tea that they drink while it’s hot may pose a hidden danger to esophageal cancer. The reason is that boiling water can burn the esophageal mucosa, causing oral mucosal inflammation, esophagitis, etc., and over time, cancer may occur.

The Kazakh people in Xinjiang often drink boiling hot milk tea, the Chaoshan people like Kung Fu tea, and the people in the Taihang Mountains love to drink big bowls of hot porridge. Currently, these areas have become high-incidence areas for esophageal cancer, cardia cancer, and oral cancer. Experts recommend that if food or drinks feel hot, do not swallow them in a hurry. Foods with fillings may not be hot on the outside but hot on the inside, so be especially careful when eating them. Never use a straw when drinking hot drinks.

2. Eating less fruits and vegetables

It has become a common problem for modern people to not eat enough meat and fish and not eat enough vegetables and fruits. Don't underestimate the harm caused by this lifestyle habit. Eating as you please can cause obesity, which is related to many cancers, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Secondly, vegetables and fruits contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and take away harmful substances. Not eating fruits and vegetables will increase the risk of colon cancer.

Eating less vegetables can also lead to vitamin deficiencies. People who do not eat carrots have a 7 times higher incidence of lung cancer than those who eat a lot of carrots because of the lack of β-carotene. Lack of vitamin A increases the likelihood of lung cancer and stomach cancer. Folic acid and vitamin B2 deficiency are important causes of the high incidence of esophageal cancer. Experts point out that to ensure the body's needs, you should eat more than 400 grams of vegetables every day and no more than 75 grams of meat, which is equivalent to the size of a deck of cards. Simple food is the best way to stay away from cancer.

3. Not sleeping at night

Many people have to stay up late and work overtime because of work; others follow the trend and hang out in bars every day, becoming "party animals" who hide during the day and come out at night. The study found that 99.3% of cancer patients stay up late all year round and only rest after midnight . Experts point out that staying up late will cause biological clock disorders on the one hand, and on the other hand, the night light will destroy the formation of melatonin in the human body, which is an important part of protecting the body's immune function. The lack of it can easily lead to leukemia, breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

It is best not to stay up later than 12 o'clock. If you work overtime until the early morning, it is best to find a room with blackout curtains to sleep in. The dark environment helps the body produce melatonin.

4. Sit down and don’t want to move

You sit at work all day, and when you get home you sink into the sofa and don't want to move... Don't think that the harm of sitting for a long time is only to the cervical spine and spine. The number of immune cells in the human body increases with the increase in activity. People who sit for a long time have a decrease in immune cells in their bodies, which greatly increases the risk of cancer. Look at these data: Most gastric cancer patients usually eat too much and sit for a long time; people who sit for a long time are 40%-50% more likely to develop colon cancer than those who exercise regularly, and men are also prone to prostate cancer.

Therefore, every 2 hours of work, you must get up and move around for at least 15 minutes.

5. Being too picky

If you feel that the things in life that make you angry are like obstacles that you cannot get over, your thoughts are stuck in a dead end, and your depressed mentality persists for more than one or two years, you should be careful. Clinically, it has been found that people who are serious, angry and not good at expressing themselves in life have their autonomic nervous, endocrine and immune systems in a state of high excitement and tension for a long time, which is an important cause of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

People who are too serious and perfectionist at work are more likely to suffer from stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer. Experts point out that an open mind and a happy mood are the "natural enemies" of cancer cells. We should cultivate more interests and hobbies in our daily lives, and take deep breaths when we encounter unpleasant things.

6. Not using condoms

Recent studies have confirmed that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the culprit of cervical cancer, and this virus is often transmitted through sexual behavior. Therefore, minimizing premarital sex and unsafe sex in extramarital affairs, and using condoms when necessary, is an important way to protect women and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

7. Frequent exposure to secondhand smoke

In addition to the well-known lung cancer, smoking can also cause nasopharyngeal cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, and even bladder cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer. It can be said that "a cigarette in hand, the whole body suffers."

In addition, secondhand smoke is even more harmful to the body than firsthand smoke. Therefore, it is best to put out the cigarette in your hand quickly and stay as far away from the smoke as possible.

8. The decoration is too luxurious

In addition to smoking, the pungent smell of decoration is also the culprit of lung cancer. Many building materials contain carcinogenic chemicals. The more luxurious the decoration, the greater the chance of harm to your body. For children, decoration pollution is more likely to cause them to suffer from leukemia.

Experts suggest that when buying furniture and building materials for renovation, do not try to save money. Generally speaking, the lower the quality of the product, the more pungent the smell. Be sure to open windows for ventilation during renovation. After renovation, let it air out for at least two or three months before moving in.

9. A family member has cancer

If the previous generation suffered from breast cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, etc., the risk of the offspring developing cancer will be much higher than the average person. In addition, for every 100 couples who die, at least 5 suffer from "couple cancer." This is related to the fact that couples maintain the same living habits all year round.

Therefore, once couples realize that they have unhealthy living habits, they should take it seriously and correct them together. People with a family history of cancer are better off getting regular cancer checks and maintaining healthy living habits than others.
