Prevent cancer, how to choose diet
Tongtong recently made a boyfriend who studied food and nutrition. The two went out for lunch at noon. Tongtong picked out green onions, ginger, and garlic from the dishes, because she never liked them since she was a child.
The boyfriend said, “Ginger, onion and garlic have many benefits. They can prevent cancer and improve immunity.”
Tong Tong responded: “These things are so spicy and choking, I don’t like them.”
The boyfriend said: “The spicy and choking taste are those active ingredients.”
Tongtong glanced at him, but thought in her heart: If it really can prevent cancer, you can try eating some, right?
The relationship between diet and cancer is very close. High-fat, pickled, and moldy foods are all related to cancer. Eating greasy foods can lead to colorectal cancer, breast cancer, etc. Eating pickled foods may produce high carcinogens with other foods , such as: nitrosamines, etc., are also prone to gastric cancer, liver cancer, etc. However, there are also many foods that contain antioxidants that can help us fight cancer.
| water | clean water |
| Vitamin A | Carrot, Chuanqi, red phoenix, red amaranth, sweet potato leaves, coriander, rapeseed,
tomato |
| Vitamin C | Mung bean sprouts, rape blossoms, peppers, sweet peppers, cauliflower, wild bitter gourd, guava, papaya,
Strawberry, kiwi, orange |
| Vitamin E | Whole wheat, wheat germ, germ rice, brown rice, almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts,
green vegetables |
| spices | shallots, ginger, garlic, onion, chilli, turmeric, cinnamon |
| polyphenols | Green tea, black tea, oolong tea, coffee, dark chocolate |
fatty, grilled foods
High-fat diet is one of the risks of cancer, especially colorectal cancer and breast cancer, such as meat with skin, pork belly, offal, fried food, etc. all belong to this category. I suggest that in addition to eating less barbecue, barbecue, and American meals, it is best to eat more high-fiber foods and drink more water, which can prevent cancer.
High-fiber ingredients can help metabolize fat, such as: fresh mushrooms, okra, bamboo shoots, sweet potato leaves, green cabbage, and broccoli among green vegetables are rich in antioxidants. Fruits with high dietary fiber, such as: black dates, cherry tomatoes, passion fruit, kiwi, guava, orange, etc.
red meat processed food
Red meat processed foods that Chinese people like to eat include: sausage, ham, bacon, bacon, hot dogs, jerky, etc., all of which contain nitrite. Nitrite and amines will form nitrosamines in the stomach. Nitrosamines are a risk factor for liver cancer, gastric cancer, and intestinal cancer. Amines are generally more common in fish and shellfish.
Nitrite is actually a necessary evil, because sausage, ham, bacon, etc. will produce botulism in the production process, and botulism can be fatal, so the use of nitrite in food processing is to inhibit bacteria. Other functions are to make the color beautiful and make the sausage and ham look good.
Will I eat sausage and bacon? Will!
It is not impossible to add nitrite, it must be added according to the ratio stipulated by the government, and the factories of big brands will abide by it, but you don’t know where the sausage in the bento comes from; maybe it is made by a market stall, how much nitrite is added, maybe Yes, maybe not, but you don’t know where he came from; so I usually don’t eat sausages from bento shops. However, we can’t overthrow everyone at once. For example, the sausages and bacon in some organic stores do not add nitrite, but relative antibacterial, packaging and other measures must be done well so that there will be no botulism. . Therefore, if you choose red meat processed food, you can choose a big brand, and the amount of nitrite added will be within the range stipulated by the government.
There is a method to reduce the content of nitrite in food. This is the method provided by the late Dr. Lin Jieliang, an authority on toxicology. Boiling red processed meat before grilling or other cooking can reduce nitrite levels. Chinese people like sausages, or bacon, ham, hot dogs, bacon, etc. in daily cooking. I suggest that these ingredients can be cooked in three ways: boiled, electric pan steamed, and microwaved to reduce the risk of nitrosamines. Formed, also try not to bake too long on the charcoal fire.
After meals, you can also eat more fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, polyphenol foods, and vitamin E foods, which can inhibit the formation of nitrosamines. In addition, take more high-fiber foods and probiotics to promote intestinal peristalsis, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and reduce the risk of intestinal bacteria synthesizing nitrosamines.
moldy food
Moldy food is more related to liver cancer, the most common is that peanut products may contain aflatoxin. Also, what I want everyone to pay attention to is the sauce. For example, many people keep the sauce in the refrigerator at home. Some sauces take a while to use up. At this time, mold has grown on the lid of the sauce, but mothers don’t know it. , Moldy food is associated with liver cancer, gastric cancer, and kidney cancer. Note: Do not eat food that is moldy.
How can peanuts that are not stored well produce aflatoxin? Because the climate in Taiwan is relatively humid, it is easy for mold to grow in such an environment, and there is a branch of mold called aflatoxin, one of which secretes aflatoxin. Long-term consumption of aflatoxin will indeed lead to liver cancer. There are many patients with early liver cancer in Taiwan, which may also be related to this.
It is recommended to eat fresh peanuts, freshly steamed and baked, and the freshest ones can be eaten directly. If you buy peanuts that are sold outside, you should buy shelled peanuts that are vacuum-packed. Once the package is opened, it is recommended to refrigerate it. At the same time, don’t buy too many peanut products at one time. If you can’t finish them and leave them for too long, just throw them away. Refrigeration can prevent peanuts from producing aflatoxin, because although there is a chance of mold growth below 12 degrees Celsius, aflatoxin will not grow, and our refrigerator is usually below 7 degrees Celsius.
I also remind everyone that the Ministry of Health and Welfare has stated that not only peanut products, but also: whole grains, nuts, beans, coffee beans, dry goods from the north and south, spices, pickled foods, ancient brewing products, sweet potato powder and flour, etc. There have been records of exposure to aflatoxin. So you can start with these three things to prevent:
First, choose fresh vacuum packaging; second, the source of purchase is clearly marked; third, refrigerate after opening.
An important dietary tip for cancer prevention: add cooking and anti-cancer three treasures to meals every day
- Shallot: Contains trace element selenium, which can reduce the content of nitrite in gastric juice and is effective in preventing gastric cancer. Selenium can also help synthesize glutathione, which has antioxidant effects. People often dislike the pungent smell of onion, which comes from the volatile components of organic sulfides and allicin, which can reduce oxidative stress in the body, help metabolize harmful substances, and reduce the incidence of cancer. In addition, green onions also have the benefits of antibacterial, anti-inflammation, vasodilation, and maintaining a good intestinal flora…etc.
- Ginger: Its anti-cancer active ingredients include gingerol, gingerol, and gingerol. Gingerol in it has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant functions after entering the human body, and helps to inhibit tumor formation. Some studies have found that the function of gingerol can inhibit the metastasis of cancer cells. In the general market, it is often divided into: young ginger, old ginger, and dried ginger. Old ginger has more gingerol than young ginger, while dried ginger has a thicker skin and is usually boiled with Chinese herbal medicines.
- Garlic: Some people call it the king of anti-cancer. It is rich in allicin and flavonoids, which can prevent tumor proliferation, inhibit carcinogen nitrosamines, and enhance immunity. It has preventive effects on gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. The most effective way to eat garlic is to eat it raw, and the garlic must be cut first if the allicin is to come out, so in the early days, my mother would crack the garlic when cooking. Time, allicin will be produced.
When eating Western-style meals, you will encounter garlic soaked in olive oil. Studies have found that garlic preserved in olive oil can enhance the function of phytochemicals. You can also try homemade.
