Stop it! If you do these things frequently, you are paving the way for liver cancer

The occurrence of liver cancer is related to all aspects of our lives. Only by understanding the causes of liver cancer can we effectively prevent it. The following will introduce the causes of liver cancer and preventive measures.

1. Unclean drinking water

We cannot live without water, so we need to pay more attention to the cleanliness of drinking water. Unclean drinking water may lead to liver cancer. Especially in remote mountain villages without tap water, most people living there can only drink river water, well water or some polluted water. If this continues for a long time, the possibility of liver cancer will be very high.

2. Excessive drinking

In our daily life, we often say that "drinking alcohol hurts the liver". Although drinking alcohol does not directly lead to liver cancer, it can become a catalyst for the formation of liver cancer. After alcohol enters the body, it is mainly broken down and metabolized in the liver. Long-term excessive drinking can easily weaken the liver's detoxification function and may cause alcoholic cirrhosis, thereby inducing liver cancer.

3. Eating moldy food

Moldy food may contain aflatoxin, which is a carcinogen. If you eat moldy food for a long time, you are likely to develop liver cancer.

4. Irregular lifestyle

Irregular lifestyle is the norm for young people nowadays, but it is one of the important reasons for the formation of liver cancer. Long-term disordered work and rest will cause great harm to our body, especially the liver. If we continue to have such a disordered work and rest life, it is likely to promote the occurrence of liver cancer.

5. Chronic liver disease

It is often said that "minor illnesses left untreated can easily lead to major illnesses." The formation of liver cancer is inseparable from chronic liver disease. Among them, viral hepatitis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are closely related to the formation of liver cancer. If patients with chronic liver disease do not adjust their lifestyle in time and do not receive effective treatment, it is more likely that the liver disease will be further aggravated, eventually leading to liver cancer.

The above are the causes of liver cancer. Now let’s talk about how to prevent liver cancer. What are the measures to prevent liver cancer?

1. Pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking

Smoking and drinking are also important causes of liver cancer, so whether it is to prevent liver cancer or to protect our bodies, we should quit smoking and drinking as soon as possible. People who do not smoke or drink should also stay away from places where many smokers and drinkers gather to avoid breathing in secondhand smoke.

2. Maintain a regular daily routine

An irregular lifestyle can easily cause many physical symptoms, which is one of the causes of liver cancer. Therefore, we must change the bad habit of staying up late for a long time as soon as possible, adjust to a normal lifestyle in time, and go to bed early and get up early.

3. Pay attention to your diet

As the saying goes, "diseases come from the mouth." We usually like to eat pickled meat, salted fish, barbecued meat, grilled sausages, pickled vegetables and other pickled, fried, grilled foods and moldy foods containing aflatoxin, which can cause liver cancer. Therefore, in daily life, we need to pay more attention to the food we eat. If it is moldy, we should stop eating it immediately.

We must take care of our bodies, pay attention to our living habits, maintain a good daily routine, and eat less pickled, fried, smoked and grilled foods.
