If you often eat three types of food, you will not be able to escape liver cancer. Prevention of liver cancer can be divided into four steps

The liver is the most important organ in the human body, responsible for digestion and metabolism. Although liver cancer is mostly caused by hepatitis, it is also closely related to people’s daily eating habits. Once carcinogenic substances are eaten in the diet, liver cancer may be induced if one is not careful.

Eating three types of food regularly can prevent 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.

How to prevent liver cancer

1. Vaccination

Vaccination is the most practical and effective method, mainly hepatitis B vaccination. Studies have shown that universal hepatitis B vaccination can effectively reduce the hepatitis B virus surface antigen carrier rate from 10% to 1.3% after 10 years, and significantly reduce the incidence of liver cancer after 16 years.

2. Control your emotions

Emotions, work pressure, and especially a bad mentality have a great impact on the immune system, adding fuel to the fire. After learning that they have been infected with the hepatitis B virus, many people are afraid and depressed, lose their appetite all day, and touch their livers with their hands, sometimes for two or three hours, worried that hepatitis will turn into cancer. If this emotion persists for a long time, it will lead to a series of changes in the nervous, endocrine and immune functions, significantly reducing the anti-cancer cells in the blood, and cancer will really occur.

3. Do not eat moldy food

The fungi that produce aflatoxin mainly grow in humid tropical and subtropical regions and can cause corn, peanuts and other grains to mold, so you should avoid eating these moldy foods.

4. Do B-ultrasound

Liver B-ultrasound is one of the most effective methods for early detection of liver cancer. Hepatitis B patients and hepatitis B virus carriers should undergo a liver B-ultrasound examination every six months when their condition is stable. In addition, young and middle-aged people who are tired and stressed should also have a liver B-ultrasound examination during their health check-up.
