Why is eating too much ginger prone to liver cancer? Men should pay attention to five things to keep liver cancer away from you

As the saying goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and you won't need a doctor to prescribe medicine" and "Eat ginger in all seasons, and all diseases will be gone", which shows that eating ginger is good for the human body. However, a study found that excessive consumption of ginger increases the risk of liver cancer.

Why is eating too much ginger prone to liver cancer?

Research by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that safrole can cause liver cancer. Adding 0.04% to 1% safrole to the feed of mice for 150 days to 2 years can induce liver cancer in mice. Ginger contains safrole. Excessive consumption of ginger can easily increase the risk of liver cancer. In addition, rotten ginger produces toxins that can also cause cancer. Some people think that "rotten ginger does not taste rotten", but this idea has no scientific basis and is also very dangerous. Because rotten ginger produces toxins, in severe cases it can cause liver cancer and esophageal cancer. Therefore, everything should be moderate, just like ginger. Eating less can strengthen the body, but eating more can easily cause liver cancer.

Men should pay attention to these five points to keep liver cancer away from you

1. Vaccination: Effective prevention of viral hepatitis is the most important means to prevent liver cancer. Vaccination with hepatitis B vaccine can effectively prevent the occurrence of hepatitis B, thereby preventing the occurrence of liver cancer. At present, my country has very effective vaccines for hepatitis A and hepatitis B, and the success rate of timely vaccination is over 90%. Hepatitis B vaccine should be injected three times, the first time, one month and six months. Hepatitis A and hepatitis E are mainly transmitted through the digestive tract. Therefore, people should pay attention to food hygiene, wash hands frequently, do not drink raw water, do not eat raw food, and keep tableware clean. Do not share dishes, toothbrushes, razors, tattoo needles, acupuncture needles and other items with others.

2. Eat "coarse" and avoid "mold": Diversify your diet. First of all, you should pay attention to the balance of nutrients in your diet. Maintain a diversified diet. You should combine coarse and fine grains, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat less refined rice, refined flour, animal fat and low-fiber foods. Rice bran has an anti-cancer effect. Rice bran is not only rich in B vitamins, which can protect the liver, but also has a very good effect of absorbing carcinogenic harmful substances in rice bran fiber. Avoid eating moldy and rotten food.

3. Don’t let drugs poison your liver: Don’t take drugs indiscriminately. All drugs are toxic. It has been found that many drugs can cause liver damage, drug-induced hepatitis, develop into cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.

4. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to give your liver a rest: Studies have shown that carcinogens in tobacco are associated with liver cancer and other tumors. Long-term heavy drinking can cause liver cell damage and abnormal liver function, leading to cirrhosis and further deterioration into liver cancer. Patients with a history of chronic hepatitis should completely quit smoking and drinking!

5. Exercise regularly and relax your mind: Our ancients have long proposed the theory that "anger hurts the liver". According to Chinese medicine theory, the liver is responsible for regulating qi. If the liver's regulating function is normal, the human body can better coordinate its own mental and emotional activities. Bad emotions can cause liver qi disorders and cause liver diseases. Recent studies have shown that negative emotions such as anger and anxiety can affect the body's resistance, reduce immune function, and are not good for the liver. Therefore, keep a happy spirit, be open-minded, optimistic, avoid excessive depression and bad temper, and combine it with timely physical exercise to make life full of vitality and vigor, which can effectively improve the immune function of various organs in the human body, thereby avoiding the canceration of liver cells and preventing liver cancer.
