7 factors may cause melanoma. Recommended dietary remedies for cancer prevention

Melanoma is a common malignant tumor that often requires surgical treatment. Postoperative dietary conditioning is particularly important for patients, which can enhance the patient's disease resistance and thus achieve the role of auxiliary treatment.

The exact cause of normal melanocytes becoming neoplastic is still unclear, but it may be related to the following factors:

1. Air pollution

The large-scale emission of harmful substances such as Freon has destroyed the ozone layer, resulting in insufficient ultraviolet filtration. Harmful ultraviolet rays and harmful substances in the air work together to act on human skin, causing abnormal expression of melanocytes and triggering melanoma.

2. The desire for beauty is at work

In pursuit of clean and tender skin, many people use a large amount of chemical cosmetics, causing chemical skin pollution. Some people even use chemical corrosives to remove moles on the skin, but the result is counterproductive and stimulates the excessive proliferation of melanocytes.

3. Lack of health knowledge

Not enough attention has been paid to moles growing on areas prone to friction, such as the feet and perineum, which have been subjected to long-term compression and friction, eventually leading to malignant transformation.

4. Abuse of estrogen drugs

Studies have found that malignant melanoma cells contain estrogen receptors, and people suspect that excess estrogen can stimulate the occurrence of melanoma.

5. Immunodeficiency

With the improvement of living standards, the life expectancy of Chinese people has been significantly extended. With the increase of age, the human immune function gradually declines. Studies have found that low immune function is one of the important causes of melanoma, so the incidence of melanoma in the elderly is very high clinically.

6. Benign melanin plaques

That is, moles, among which junctional moles are most likely to become malignant, mixed moles are less likely, and endothelial moles rarely become malignant. However, most scalp melanomas are not transformed from moles, so some people believe that this disease is not entirely related to moles.

7. Race

The incidence rate among white people is higher than that among people of color. For example, the annual incidence rate among white people in the United States is as high as 42/100,000, while that among black people is only 0.8/100,000.

Stay away from malignant melanoma and recommend the following dietary remedies

1. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, and is the source of qi and blood. If cancer patients want to replenish both qi and blood, they must first strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite to replenish qi and blood. At this time, the dietary formula for melanoma patients is:

Ginseng porridge: use 3g ginseng powder (or 15g Codonopsis pilosula), appropriate amount of rock sugar, 100g good rice, cook porridge and eat regularly.

Astragalus porridge: 50g of Astragalus, boil in water to extract the juice for cooking porridge, add 100g of good rice, appropriate amount of brown sugar, 3g of Pi Pi powder, cook together into porridge.

Steamed Chicken with Angelica Sinensis and Astragalus: 20g Angelica Sinensis, 100g Astragalus Membranaceus, and 1 hen. Steam them together and take in several doses.

Ginseng and jujube rice: 3g ginseng (or 15g codonopsis), 20g jujube, 250g good rice, 50g sugar. Cut the ginseng and jujube into small pieces and steam them together. When the rice is cooked, add sugar and take it in several times.

Atractylodes and jujube cake: 30g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 250g of jujube, chicken gizzard lining, dried ginger, flour, oil, salt and other seasonings in appropriate amounts. Grind all the herbs into powder or chop them very finely, mix them with flour and seasonings, make into pancakes, and eat them in several portions.

2. Some melanoma patients often have symptoms of kidney deficiency. To address liver and kidney deficiency, melanoma patients can choose the following dietary formulas:

Cordyceps and wolfberry: 10g cordyceps, 20g wolfberry, 100g lean pork, 250g eggs, and appropriate amount of seasoning. Stew until cooked and take in divided doses.

Wolfberry porridge: 30g wolfberry, 100g good rice, cook porridge together.

Walnut duck: 200g walnut kernels, 100g chicken, 150g water chestnuts, 1 old duck, a little seasoning, appropriate amount of oil and salt, stew together, and take in several times.

3. For patients with malignant melanoma who have signs of toxicity and blood stasis, the following dietary methods may also be considered:

Garlic porridge: 30g purple garlic and 100g good rice, cook together.

Asparagus and mushroom soup: 200g asparagus, 100g mushrooms, simmer the soup over low heat, add appropriate seasoning.

Water chestnut flour porridge: 60g water chestnut flour and 100g good rice, cook together.

It is a commonly used formula for Chinese medicine dietary conditioning of melanoma. It is hoped that through the auxiliary treatment and conditioning of the above diets, patients can recover faster and better.
