Every one of us has a "proto-oncogene". When this proto-oncogene is activated, we get cancer, so we can all get cancer. However, cancer can be prevented. Don't think that it costs money to prevent disease. The editor will recommend 10 kinds of free "folk prescription" for cancer prevention.
Drink six glasses of water every day: The New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most authoritative medical journals in the world, has shown that men who drink six glasses of water every day (240 grams per cup) will have half the risk of bladder cancer and women will have 45% less risk of colon cancer. It is better for people over 40 years old to have colonoscopy every two or three years. If there are polyps, early detection can reduce the chance of canceration.
Drinking soybean milk can prevent "female cancer": The American Cancer Research Association pointed out that women who often drink soybean milk have a significantly reduced risk of breast cancer. This is because there is a kind of estrogen like substance in soybean milk, called "soybean isoflavones". It can prevent all estrogen related cancers, such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.
Drink a glass of red wine when eating meat: The grape skin used to brew red wine contains a substance called resveratrol, which has a certain preventive effect on gastrointestinal cancer. In addition, the recommended consumption of red meat such as pork, beef and mutton by the American Association for Cancer Research is about 500 grams per week. Eating too much will increase the risk of colon cancer.
Four cups of green tea a day: Japanese people who like to drink tea have spent 9 years doing a survey and found that drinking four or five cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of cancer by 40%. Oolong tea, green tea and black tea have good preventive effects on oral cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer.
Open the window for at least half an hour: few people know that in addition to formaldehyde, there is also a strong carcinogenic gas - radon and its daughters. It is usually hidden in granite, cement and ceramic tiles, and spreads to the room along the cracks in these places, and enters the human body through the respiratory tract to induce lung cancer. In fact, as long as the window is opened for half an hour every day, the radon concentration can be reduced to the same level as outdoor.
Wipe your back with dry towel: Japan has set off an upsurge of wiping your back with dry towel. Professor Shuino, vice president of the University of Tokyo, pointed out that this can play a role in preventing cancer, because friction and heat will activate a cell in the subcutaneous muscle tissue of the back, which can play the role of swallowing and destroying cancer cells.
Chew 30 times in one mouthful: according to the survey, people who eat all the time are more likely to suffer from stomach cancer. More chewing can reduce the burden of food on the digestive tract and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancer. Saliva has a strong "detoxification" effect, which can make the toxicity of aflatoxin, the culprit of liver cancer, almost completely disappear within 30 seconds.
Eat with onions and garlic: Research shows that people who eat more garlic will reduce the risk of stomach cancer by 60%. Allicin can only be produced when garlic is crushed and fully combined with oxygen, and it is very unstable, and it will soon lose its effect once it encounters heat. Therefore, it is best to grind garlic raw or chop it into garlic paste and put it in cold dishes.
Sunshine for 15 minutes: In the cheapest prescription for cancer prevention, sunbathing is the best. It can prevent cancer by increasing the content of vitamin D in the body without any cost. Insufficient vitamin D will increase the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and gastric cancer. To avoid increasing the risk of skin cancer due to exposure to the sun, only 15 minutes of sunshine per day is enough.
Walking for an hour every day: Reader's Digest magazine once told us that walking for 30 minutes every day after meals or four hours every week can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by half. A long-term study of 70000 people by Harvard University School of Public Health also found that only one hour of walking every day can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by half.
