is now at a high incidence of cancer, which is no surprise in various countries. However, some cancers are more "preferred" to Chinese people, such as liver cancer . Nearly half of the world are in my country. Not only that, the mortality rate of this disease in my country is also Gao, why is this? What exactly did we do wrong?
Nearly half of the world's liver cancer is in China. Is this an exaggeration or a fact?
According to global cancer data in 2020:
Global liver cancer —910,000 new cases, 830,000 deaths
Chinese liver cancer —There are 410,000 new cases and 390,000 deaths.
From this we can see that nearly half of them are in China, it is not an exaggeration, but indeed it is. There are so many countries around the world, generally in our country, and we should pay more attention to it, find the reasons, and find ways to change it.
So, why do liver cancer prefer Chinese people?
Chronic liver disease has not been promptly intervened with . For example, there are many patients with hepatitis B in my country.
However, for the understanding of this kind of hepatitis, many people have stepped on the minefield. For example, as long as the body is not uncomfortable, you don’t have to worry about it, just insist on taking medicine, etc. Some people will go to extremes and think that they will eventually become liver cancer. It is better to spend the rest of your life if you lose both your life after treatment.
But everyone should know that this kind of hepatitis is different from ordinary ones. Although I have been taking medicine, taking it wrong may also promote its development. But it does not mean that it will definitely turn into liver cancer. Generally speaking, as long as it is discovered and treated in time, it can be controlled.
In addition, it is also related to the lifestyle of many Chinese people, especially on Eat and drink .
bluntly said: The following two foods are "catalysts". If you can touch less, try to touch as little as possible.
The first type is wine . Drinking alcohol hurts the liver. Although the body may not feel any discomfort in the short term, it gradually accumulates, exceeding the liver's tolerance. If the limit is limited, the damage will gradually appear - fatty liver, alcohol liver , liver cancer , etc.
I believe many people understand and deeply understand the wine culture in our country. But wine is still popular in Western countries. Why does it have a greater impact on our liver?
To put it simply, compared with Westerners, we lack an enzyme in our body, which will affect metabolism, which is unique to East Asians and is related to the gene . So it is also true that people drink alcohol, but Chinese people are more likely to get cancer. Not only liver cancer, but over time, it will also increase the risk of other cancers.
So, if you don’t want to get closer to liver cancer, it’s best not to drink alcohol. It’s better for those who drink alcohol to quit from now on, it’s not too late. A person may not change anything when quitting alcohol, but if many Chinese people quit, I believe that there will be much less liver cancer in our country.
The second type is moldy food . Frugality is a virtue, especially for older people, they have been practicing this. But it is better not to save by mistake. Saving a little money at this time, and spending a lot of money when there is physical problems. This type of food is often prone to hidden aflatoxin , which is a first-class carcinogen, which is especially harmful to the liver. Regular intake will increase the risk of liver cancer.
Here I would like to remind some friends who are too saving to pay attention to it. If you find that the food is moldy, don’t feel it’s a pity to throw it away, and don’t leave the seemingly unbreakable part. It is recommended to throw it away the whole thing.
In addition to this, does not actively screen is also a factor. Many Chinese people have " physical examination phobia ".
"I am in good health, why do I have to spend money to check? I am diagnosed with illness even if I am not sick?" "I have a physical examination every year, and my liver function is normal, don't worry." Many Chinese people may think so. But the liver does not feel pain. If it hurts, it may be a big problem. In addition, does not have normal liver function, so the liver must be fine .These are all wrong understandings.
There are many deaths from liver cancer in my country, which is related to this to a certain extent, because treatment is difficult when discovered. In addition to the misunderstanding of many people, if you do not continue treatment or refuse it from the beginning, it will naturally be easy to shorten your lifespan.
In fact, in addition to liver cancer, there are also some cancers that also have " Chinese characteristics ", such as the following two:
One is nasopharyngeal carcinoma :
It is more common in southern my country It is a high incidence, mainly related to genetic and viral infections. , the unreasonable eating habits of people in these areas may also have a certain impact.
The second is esophageal cancer:
Regularly eating foods with too high temperatures can easily increase the risk, but "eating while it is hot" is the eating habit of many Chinese people.
In addition, when the body gives signals, it is often easily overlooked and treated as an ordinary throat problem. Without timely diagnosis and intervention, the condition will easily worsen and the survival rate may also decrease.
It can be seen from this that there is a reason for them to prefer Chinese people, whether it is liver cancer or these two. Now we have found that we should make changes in time, quit drinking in time, try not to eat too hot food, and keep it up every day A reasonable and healthy diet is believed to be beneficial to reduce risks and stay away from these cancers.
To sum up, nearly half of the world's liver cancer is in my country, which is not unrealistic. It is true. The reason why the liver is damaged is closely related to eating the above two foods frequently. If you have these two habits, it is recommended to change it as soon as possible. , also remind your family to pay attention. If you often feel abdominal discomfort in life, but it is not because of your stomach that you have eaten or your stomach, it is recommended to check your liver early, don’t always take it seriously, and don’t regret it if you have a minor problem.
