Long National Day holiday, Guangzhou advocates "celebrating the festival locally". Although there are fewer long-distance travel and dinner visiting friends, I just want to "lie down" at home. Do you know that your body can bear it? : Zheng Ronghui, deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Radiotherapy at the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, pointed out that "lack of exercise" is also one of the main carcinogenic factors.
"Laser exercise" can also cause cancer?
Zheng Ronghui introduced that among the patients in China who die from cancer every year, about 1 million people can prevent the onset of the disease through various means, accounting for about 45% of the total cancer deaths. The medical journal "The Lancet - Global Health" specifically analyzes the incidence rate of various cancers in China due to 23 major carcinogenic risks, which has caused heated discussion. The lack of exercise is one of the main carcinogenic factors among Chinese people.
"Lack of exercise for a long time, slow metabolism, excessive fat is stored in the body, leading to weight gain, filling the fat of major organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys, increasing the burden, gradually appearing disorders, and the body's various functions decline, and immune and endocrine functions will also have negative effects. According to research by German scientists, if we sit for two more hours a day, our risk of lung cancer, bowel cancer and uterine cancer will increase by 6%, 8%, and 10%, respectively." Zheng Ronghui said.
Adjust physical exercise can prevent cancer
According to a large research paper published in the world's authoritative journal "Journal of the American Medical Association • Internal Medicine Volume", shows that moderate exercise can prevent 13 types of cancers. The study analyzed 1.44 million people in Europe and the United States, with an average of 11 years of tracking. A total of 26 cancers were analyzed. The results showed that compared with the top 10% of people who exercised, there was a 7 cancer risk reduction of at least 20%, namely:
esophageal adenocarcinoma (reduced by 42%)
liver cancer (27%)
lung cancer (26%)
renal cancer (23%)
cardia cancer (22%)
endometrial cancer (21%)
Myelogenous leukemia (20%)
There are 6 other types of cancer risks, including:
Myeloma (17%)
Colon cancer (16%)
Head and neck cancer (15%)
Rectal cancer (13%)
Bladder cancer (13%) Breast cancer (10%)
After analysis, the researchers pointed out that exercise can reduce the overall cancer risk by about 7%.
Zheng Ronghui pointed out that physical exercise has reduced hormone levels to a certain extent, improved our immune system function, reduced the levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factors, and also reduced body fat. Studies have shown that people who perform moderate to high-intensity physical exercise for 30-60 minutes a day have a lower risk of cancer (breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer , lung cancer and endometrial cancer).
Therefore, Zheng Ronghui recommends that the general population can perform regular and continuous physical activities, which not only helps lose weight and maintain body shape, but also has a preventive effect on cancer. Specifically, it can be done:
1. At least ≥30 minutes of medium-intensity exercise every day (equivalent to brisk walking), and it is recommended to speed up the daily walking speed to brisk walking;
2. After adapting, it is recommended to extend the medium-intensity exercise to ≥1 hour or perform high-intensity exercise ≥30 minutes (such as badminton, football, basketball, etc.);
3. Avoid bad behavior habits such as playing computers for a long time and sitting for a long time. (For more news, please follow Yangchengpai pai.ycwb.com)
