What causes liver cancer? Two major types of food are likely to induce liver cancer

Although liver cancer is not contagious, it can also threaten the health of patients with liver cancer. There are many causes of liver cancer in life, and people often ignore these carcinogenic factors because they are unaware of them.

Eating two types of food often can easily induce liver cancer:

① Do not eat moldy food

Aflatoxin in fungi is a carcinogen that can induce liver cancer in humans, monkeys, mice, and poultry. The shortest time required to cause cancer is 24 weeks. To prevent fungi from contaminating food, you should pay attention to the following:

1. Peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, rice, millet, etc. stored at home must be dried thoroughly and stored in a dry and ventilated environment.

2. Moldy peanuts, dried potatoes, dried radishes, etc. should be discarded and cannot be eaten by humans, livestock or poultry.

3. Peanut oil and cottonseed oil should not be stored for a long time. When a large amount of grain, oil or dairy products are suspected to be contaminated with fungi, the quarantine station should be asked to check and they can only be distributed, sold or consumed after approval.

② Animal and vegetable oils that have a rancid smell should not be consumed

Stale oils contain a chemical component that can cause the structure of proteins to mutate, causing cells with mutated proteins to lose their normal functions and transform into early cancer cells. In addition, the replication of acids in some chemical components accelerates the aging process. Therefore, animal and vegetable oils should not be stored for too long, and oils that have deteriorated and have a rancid smell should not be eaten. Foods fried in rancid oils not only taste bad, but more importantly, they can cause cancer and shorten life.

In order to prevent liver cancer from getting worse in the late stage, patients must pay attention to the following three points in their diet:

First of all, we should pay special attention to supplementing vitamins and trace elements such as selenium in our daily diet. Because the intake of various vitamins and trace elements such as selenium can provide the body with anti-cancer energy. Therefore, we should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and element selenium every day, such as kiwi, carrots, mulberries, cabbage, etc., which can help patients improve their immunity and reduce the risk of tumor cell deterioration and metastasis. It should be noted that the digestive function of patients with advanced liver cancer is often not very good. Therefore, in addition to food supplements, you should also prepare some Selenium Wei|Kang chewable tablets at home, combined with food supplements, to enhance the body's selenium supplementation.

Secondly, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat less but more often: Due to the continuous growth of liver cancer, the patient's own consumption is large, and the digestion and absorption capacity is poor. Therefore, our dietary principles need to ensure adequate nutrition supply, from picky eating and partial eating, balance various nutrients, eat grains, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but the simplest way to measure whether nutrition is adequate is to see whether you can maintain a normal weight.

Finally, we specifically choose low-fat and high-protein foods in our diet: because when liver cancer occurs, symptoms such as indigestion and nausea often occur. If you eat too much high-fat food, these symptoms will be aggravated, so you need to eat a light diet. Since we eat less, we need to increase the calories of food. In addition, we should properly control protein intake to avoid hepatic encephalopathy.
