What are the preventive and nursing measures for glioma

Gliomas are common and highly prevalent intracranial tumors, very difficult to treat, and extremely harmful to patients, so timely prevention is necessary. By referring to general tumor prevention methods, understanding the risk factors of gliomas, and formulating corresponding prevention and treatment strategies, the risk of gliomas can be reduced. What are the preventive and nursing measures for gliomas? Let's take a look.

There are two basic clues to prevent the occurrence of brain gliomas. Even if the tumor has already begun to form in the body, they can help the body improve its resistance. These strategies are as follows:

1. Avoiding the invasion of harmful substances (cancer-promoting factors) can help us avoid or minimize contact with harmful substances.

Some factors related to the occurrence of glioma can be prevented before the disease occurs. Many cancers can be prevented before they form. A report from the United States in 1988 made a detailed comparison of the international situation of malignant tumors and proposed that many known malignant tumors can be prevented in principle due to external factors, that is, about 80% of malignant tumors can be prevented through simple lifestyle changes. Going back further, a study conducted by Dr. Higginson in 1969 concluded that 90% of malignant tumors are caused by environmental factors. "Environmental factors" and "lifestyle" refer to the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we choose to make, the habits of activities and social relationships, etc. Therefore, in order to avoid the occurrence of glioma, we must reduce exposure to harmful substances.

2. Improve the body's immunity against tumors, which can help improve and strengthen the immune system of patients with brain glioma to fight against tumors.

The focus of our current glioma prevention and treatment efforts should first be on improving factors that are closely related to our lives, such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and losing weight. Anyone who follows these simple, reasonable lifestyle common sense can reduce the chance of developing glioma.

3. Maintain good living habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, which can effectively prevent brain glioma.

The World Health Organization predicts that if people stop smoking, the number of cancer cases in the world will be reduced by 1/3 in 5 years. Secondly, stop drinking alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances. People who smoke and drink alcohol for a long time are very likely to develop an acidic constitution, thus inducing brain glioma.

4. Patients with brain glioma should avoid eating too much salty and spicy food, and avoid eating overheated, overcooled, expired or spoiled food.

The elderly and the weak or those with a genetic disease can eat some anti-cancer foods and alkaline foods with high alkalinity as appropriate, and maintain a good mental state. This is one of the preventive measures for glioma. In addition to the above two points, insisting on daily exercise and maintaining a healthy mentality are also helpful in preventing glioma.

5. To prevent brain glioma, you must have a good attitude, deal with stress positively, and combine work and rest.

Stress is actually an important cause of brain glioma. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress leads to overwork and physical weakness, which in turn causes decreased immune function, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders in the body, and the deposition of acidic substances in the body. Stress can also lead to mental tension, causing qi stagnation, blood stasis, internal toxic fire, etc. Therefore, in order to prevent brain glioma, you must learn how to reduce stress.

The above is the complete introduction of the fundamental measures to prevent brain glioma. I hope it can help all patients. Experts say that once someone unfortunately gets a brain glioma, it is recommended that the patient go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid missing the best time to treat the brain glioma.
