What should we pay attention to in preventing liver cancer? Which type of people are prone to liver cancer?

Many people have the habit of smoking and drinking. Some people can smoke several packs of cigarettes a day, or drink several bottles of wine at a time. This makes it easy for them to get liver cancer. This is why the number of liver cancer patients in my country has remained high in recent years. Let’s take a look at which types of people are prone to liver cancer?

1. People with poor eating habits

Bad eating habits can damage the digestive system and put a great burden on the liver's detoxification function, thus greatly increasing the possibility of liver malignancy. These bad eating habits include eating moldy, expired food, pickled food, high-salt and high-fat food. These foods contain certain carcinogens, and trace elements are the opposite, leading to the induction of liver cancer.

2. People with smoking and drinking habits

People who smoke and drink for a long time have a higher rate of liver cancer. Alcohol is very irritating to the liver. People who are addicted to alcoholism have a high incidence of cirrhosis. In addition, long-term smoking causes liver function to decline, so the incidence of liver cancer rises suddenly.

3. Hepatitis B patients

According to various authoritative research data, the incidence of liver cancer increases in areas with a high incidence of hepatitis B. The risk of liver cancer in people who have had hepatitis B is seven to ten times higher than that of the general population. This is mainly because the hepatitis B virus is the main trigger for liver cancer. Therefore, hepatitis B patients should undergo regular checkups to prevent cancer.

What should we pay attention to in preventing liver cancer?

1. Life rules

Get up and get up on time, don't stay up late, ensure the time and quality of sleep, participate in some activities appropriately, don't overwork, and combine work and rest, so as to ensure that the liver gets enough rest.

2. Prevent hepatitis

Hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, is an important cause of liver cancer. Therefore, actively preventing hepatitis is the main way to prevent liver cancer. Vaccination can effectively prevent the occurrence of hepatitis.

3. Stop drinking

Long-term drinking can cause alcohol poisoning or diseases such as alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcohol can aggravate damage to the liver, leading to a decrease in the liver's detoxification function and causing liver cancer. Therefore, quitting drinking is a way to prevent liver cancer.

4. Maintain a good mood

Modern people are under increasing pressure in life, but in my country there is currently no large team of psychologists to help people relieve this pressure. If people do not adjust their mentality well, they are prone to illness.

5. Eat a healthy diet

The younger age of liver cancer is closely related to the increasing number of bad living habits among young people. Many young people are overnourished, obese, do not eat in the morning, overeat at night, and like to sleep in, which are all risk factors.

6. Avoid overwork

Excessive mental or physical labor can not only reduce the body's resistance of liver cancer patients, causing cancer recurrence or metastasis, but also aggravate liver damage and lead to worsening of the disease.

Warm reminder: People with liver cancer should be careful not to eat spicy and irritating food, because it will cause great stimulation to the body. Because patients with primary liver cancer are prone to portal vein cancer thrombus, causing portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric varices, once the diet is improper, it may cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients, endangering their lives. In addition, we also want to remind everyone that patients with primary liver cancer must pay attention to food hygiene. Unclean food can cause intestinal infection, which may eventually induce serious complications that endanger life.
