What are the 2 eating habits that cause the three Hoang cousins ​​to get cancer?

1. They abuse foods high in salt

In 1973, Japanese scholars first raised the issue of the relationship between salt and stomach cancer, they suggested that one of the reasons for the high rate of stomach cancer among Japanese people could be caused by eating too much salt. Foods high in salt can cause direct damage to the stomach lining. In particular, some products such as salted meat, salted eggplant, and pickles may contain high levels of nitrite, which when entering the body, are converted into nitrosamines and eventually cause stomach cancer.

WHO recommends that each person should only use 5g of salt/person/day, equivalent to about a teaspoon. People who have a preference for salty foods should reduce their salt load by limiting the use of salted foods, snacking on snacks.

2. They rarely eat green vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C and phytochemicals, which may play antioxidant and anti-cancer roles. Eating enough fruits and vegetables can protect the stomach to a certain extent and reduce the incidence of stomach cancer.

At the same time, the habit of eating less vegetables, less nuts, high fiber fruits and vegetables, and eating a lot of meat have been pointed out by scientists as one of the causes of nutritional imbalance, increasing the risk of obesity. , high blood pressure, heart disease.

WHO recommendations say that each adult needs to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits (about 400 grams) daily.

To prevent stomach cancer, each person should increase eating white foods

White foods that can protect the stomach include: rice, flour, white radish, cauliflower, garlic… White foods contain fiber and some antioxidants, which can improve function immunity, prevent ulcer disease and stomach cancer, protect the heart.

In particular, garlic is an indispensable spice in dishes. Garlic contains allicin, which can reduce blood lipids and prevent coronary heart disease. Garlic can also inhibit the process of converting nitrate to nitrite in gastric juice, preventing the formation of nitrosamines, helping to prevent stomach cancer. In addition, garlic can also prevent the invasion of toxins, heavy metals, and carcinogens to the body.
