Brother Zhang suffered from chronic gastritis due to irregular diet a long time ago. He drank heavily in the past few years and needed painkillers to relieve it.

Until last October, Brother Zhang was in so much pain that he could not stand up, so he was taken to the hospital for examination. The results showed gastric ulcer, and the biopsy showed a few abnormal cells .

At that time, it was almost the end of the year, and the company was busy with business. Brother Zhang didn't pay much attention to it. He just asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, made do with it, and went back. Even the doctor asked him to come back for a review, but he forgot about it.

1. Inflammation is the "bane" of cancer : 1/6 cancers are related to it

As early as the 19th century, German pathologist Rudolf Virchow discovered that inflammation plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of cancer. role.

Inflammation is the body's immune response. When the body is exposed to certain stimuli, such as trauma, infection, etc., the body's defense system will activate, triggering the inflammatory response to help the body remove necrotic tissue and prevent the spread of infection.

Inflammatory response is also an important part of the development of major diseases. A report from the International Cancer Center shows that 1/6 of the world's cancers are caused by bacterial and viral infections. These infections are what we often call "inflammation."

In addition to cancer, inflammation is also the "soil" that "promotes" many diseases.

Inflammation is essentially an adaptive response, which is beneficial to the inflammatory response within a controllable range. However, if inflammation is out of control, normal cells and tissues will be attacked indiscriminately by inflammatory factors, leading to various diseases. Such as neurological diseases , obesity, diabetes , cardiovascular diseases etc.

2. From inflammation to cancer, it may only take two or three steps

Many people have detected inflammation in the body but did not take it seriously, which eventually led to it developing into cancer. Only then did they regret it... So when this is detected... For X type of inflammation, don’t delay and get medical treatment as soon as possible.

. Hepatitis → liver cancer

The probability of hepatitis transforming into liver cancer is about 0.3%, but if not controlled in time, hepatitis can progress to cirrhosis and eventually develop into liver cancer. About 80% of liver cancer patients have a background of hepatitis B and cirrhosis.

, Gastritis → Gastric Cancer

Repeated chronic atrophic gastritis can slowly develop into chronic atrophic gastritis. When the gastric mucosa is continuously damaged and repaired for a long time, it will easily cause cell proliferation, leading to intestinal metaplasia , dysplasia , repeated accumulation can develop into gastric cancer.

, Enteritis→ Intestinal cancer

Chronic inflammation of the colorectal mucosa can cause colorectal polyps or adenoma. Affected by diet and living habits, polyps or adenomas are prone to cell mutations and the formation of cancer.

, Cervicitis → Cervical Cancer

Not all cervicitis will develop into cervical cancer, but cervicitis caused by HPV infection has a high probability of becoming cancerous.

• , Pancreatitis→ Pancreatic cancer

  0% of pancreatic cancer patients have a history of chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatic damage is "permanent" damage. Repeated pancreatitis can easily increase the risk of pancreatic cancer.

  Of course, found that inflammation will definitely develop into cancer, but when inflammation occurs, we must take precautions in advance and actively intervene in inflammation to prevent inflammatory factors from getting out of control and becoming an accomplice to cancer.

  

  3. Three kinds of pro-inflammatory foods will accelerate the development of inflammation. Eat less

  The occurrence of inflammation is related to many factors, including dietary factors. Will eating some "pro-inflammatory foods" every day really accelerate the development of inflammation? So what are pro-inflammatory foods?

  Published in the "Journal of the American College of Cardiology" in 2020, a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Department of Nutrition research team found that people with a diet with high inflammatory potential have a 38% higher risk of cardiovascular disease, crown The risk of heart disease is 46% higher, and the risk of stroke is 28% higher.

  And a year later, a review of 15 meta-analyses4 million people found that a pro-inflammatory diet can increase the risk of 27 chronic diseases and premature death.

  In other words, diet does have an impact on the body's inflammatory state , so which foods have pro-inflammatory effects?

  , red meat, processed meat

  During the process of digesting red meat and processed meat, the human body will produce a large amount of nitroso compounds. This substance can induce DNA complementary bases and initiate cancer in the event of an inflammatory reaction. Cellular processes.

  

  , high-fat food, fried food

  High-fat, high-oil diet can stimulate the stress response of intestinal cells, causing the production of immune molecules, which can lead to systemic inflammation.

  . High-sugar foods, refined carbohydrates

  High sugar is not only white sugar, fructose, syrup, but also includes white rice, steamed buns, cakes, biscuits, etc., refined carbohydrates with high starch content. These foods can easily increase blood sugar and promote the release of insulin and epinephrine , leading to an increase in inflammatory factors in the body and aggravating the inflammatory response.

  Reduce the intake of pro-inflammatory foods, corresponding to increasing the intake of "anti-inflammatory foods", including: fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, tea, and some condiments, such as curry, ginger powder, Cinnamon , etc., these foods have good anti-inflammatory effects.

  

  In addition, to control inflammation, in addition to paying attention to diet, attention should also be paid to improving the living environment and lifestyle.

  • Stay away from polluted environment : Clean your home frequently to ensure it is clean and tidy, do not use medication indiscriminately, and try not to use pesticides, hair dyes, etc. to pollute the indoor air.
  • Maintain a good mood : Continuous psychological stress can destroy the body's ability to regulate.
  • Regular schedule : Staying up late for a long time disrupts the biological clock, which is not conducive to the body's self-repair and can easily lead to the risk of various inflammatory diseases.
  • Keep exercising : Muscle contraction can promote blood circulation and reduce systemic inflammatory response to a certain extent.

  

  Changes in lifestyle and diet have a good effect on controlling inflammation. However, if acute inflammation is difficult to control through lifestyle, it is still recommended to seek medical intervention for drug intervention.
