9 secrets to avoid cancer

In this age when people are afraid of cancer, although our modern medicine has made rapid progress, we are still helpless when it comes to cancer. Many people spend their entire lives searching for ways to avoid cancer or traditional Chinese medicine remedies, but in the end they find nothing. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is no medicine in the world that can keep you away from cancer forever. Developing good living habits and keeping your body and mind in a healthy state is the secret to preventing cancer. Below, Chinese medicine will introduce to you 9 little secrets on how to prevent cancer.

1. Don’t eat 8 kinds of food

8 types of food that you should never eat: stale grains and meat, food that is out of season, food that is ugly in color, food that smells bad, meat that is not cut properly, food that is not cooked properly, dishes that are not seasoned properly, and wine and meat bought from the market.

Countermeasure: If you want to avoid food safety issues, you have to control your mouth and prevent diseases from entering the body through your mouth.

2. Ginger is a must for every meal

Ginger has always been highly praised by people who pay attention to health. As a condiment, it can remove fishy smell. It is an essential ingredient for stewing fish and meat. It can also warm the stomach, dispel cold, detoxify and kill bacteria. “Eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer” emphasizes that eating ginger can relieve the discomfort caused by people's desire for coolness and excessive consumption of raw and cold food in summer.

Countermeasure: Cut fresh ginger into slices, marinate it with vinegar or salt, and take two slices every morning. It has good health benefits for ordinary people and people with weak and cold constitutions who are easily afraid of cold.

Although ginger is good, it is not suitable for people with heat symptoms. People who have acne on their face, mouth sores, and temper tantrums should not eat too much ginger.

3. Combine coarse and fine ingredients and chew slowly

With the development of food processing technology, people are eating more and more refined food, which can easily lead to problems such as constipation.

Countermeasure: Eating some whole grains rich in dietary fiber and matching them with coarse and fine grains will be very beneficial for the prevention and treatment of common chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Chewing slowly helps digestion. Patients with spleen and stomach diseases and obese people should chew their food thoroughly.

4. Eat only until you are 70% full

Overeating is the enemy of health preservation. It not only increases the burden on the stomach and intestines, but also leads to insufficient heart qi and induces heart disease. In addition, eating too much can also lead to obesity, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, etc.

Countermeasure: To eat until you are 70% full, you must chew slowly and feel the changes in your hunger level. When you feel neither full nor full, you should put down your chopsticks immediately even if you still want to eat.

5. Diet therapy for minor illnesses

Many people ignore the importance of diet therapy. When they are sick, they go to the hospital for injections and infusions and abuse antibiotics.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "medicine and food have the same origin", which emphasizes that many foods have medicinal value. Before diet therapy, you should identify your own physical condition, whether it is deficiency or excess, cold or hot, and choose the right food for your condition.

Countermeasures: 1. People who are prone to insomnia can eat some milk and soy products rich in calcium;

2. People who use their brains more, such as students, are better off eating nuts rich in linoleic acid, such as peanuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts;

3. People who are prone to temper tantrums should drink carrot soup regularly to relieve liver and depression.

6. Do not eat more meat than grain

Even if there are all kinds of tempting meat on the table, you should control yourself and not exceed the amount of staple food. Eating too much meat will damage the spleen and stomach. Pay attention to pairing it with grains and have a balanced diet.

Eating too much meat will not only cause fat to accumulate in various parts of the body, inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and stroke, but also increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

Countermeasure: Eat meat scientifically, with more poultry and less livestock, more fish and less meat, and a combination of meat and vegetables. Poultry and fish have relatively short muscle fibers, are easy to digest, and have a low fat content, which can protect the heart and prevent hyperlipidemia.

7. Drink in moderation

Everyone's alcohol tolerance is different, so you need to know when to drink. If a person's alcohol tolerance is 4 liang, drinking 1 liang is most appropriate. A small drink can not only make you happy, but also help to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Drinking more than 3/4 of the recommended amount of alcohol is considered excessive drinking, which will not only seriously damage the liver and kidneys, but also cause a variety of diseases. Long-term alcoholism can easily lead to mental dependence, and often cause family and social tragedies due to emotional excitement.

Countermeasure: If you want to drink without harming your body, in addition to controlling the amount, you should also be careful not to drink on an empty stomach or mix different types of alcohol.

8. Don’t talk while eating

It is easy to choke when talking while eating, and accidents often happen to the elderly and children. If food gets into the respiratory tract, it may even be life-threatening.

Talking while eating will cause food to be swallowed without being chewed thoroughly, which will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, especially for people with poor digestive function. In addition, people talk while eating, which not only takes them longer to eat, but they are also unaware of the feeling of being "full" and tend to eat too much.

Countermeasure: Even if you can’t strictly abide by the rule of “not talking while eating”, make sure you don’t chew while talking.

9. Control your emotions and be less upset

For women, anger is the most unlucky to the skin, followed by the uterus, breasts and thyroid gland. A positive and optimistic attitude can relieve stress and reduce the risk of heart disease. In daily life, everyone should have a good attitude.

After reading this, you will understand that there is only one way to prevent cancer: develop healthy living habits and maintain a good attitude to face all things. This is the key to preventing cancer.
