has been in the hospital for a long time, especially in the cancer hospital department. There are many cases of separation from life and death. Almost every few days, various patients will be diagnosed with cancer and then have different emotional reactions: some will be taciturn; some will be emotionally broken and painful, and some will even blame their parents for passing the cancer to him.
Although such behavior is a bit paranoid and unfilial, from the perspective of professional medicine, this situation does exist. Research shows that about one in eight cancers are actually a "time bomb" brought by parents.
/8 Cancer may come from parents. Is the probability of cancer determined as soon as it is born?
In October 2020, the American Medical Association published a paper compiled by the Journal of Mayo Clinic, which revealed the new truth about cancer through new experimental data and theoretical support.
is described in the paper that the Mayo Clinic research team conducted relevant tests on nearly 3,000 cancer subjects and observed all heritable gene mutations related to cancer.
results show that in different cancer culture models, such as breast cancer , intestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer , lung cancer, ovarian cancer, etc., there are a certain number of cancers that can pass through gene mutations, and the average proportion of is about one-eighth of . Therefore, for patients with specific types of cancer, if one in 8 of the cancer is brought to you by their parents, it is somewhat scientific.
But this is not the reason we blame our parents. Cancer is not determined at birth. Humans have reproduced for more than 20 million years. Cancer genes are more or less present in any person's genome. Congenital factors are very low in the proportion of cancer. The reason why cancer is diagnosed is still more of the shortcomings in acquired daily life.
Acquired factors account for 90% of the risk of cancer! Changing bad habits is the first step to prevent cancer
According to statistics and research by the World Health Organization , cancer risk is mainly composed of congenital factors and acquired factors, and acquired factors account for 90% of the cancer risk .
So, instead of complaining that parents and grandparents may have cancer genes or medical history, it is better to start from daily life and change the bad habits of increasing cancer risk:
First . Smoking and drinking must resolutely correct
Smoking and drinking are the main reasons for these three common cancers: lung cancer, gastric cancer , liver cancer . After smoke and alcohol enter the body, they will quickly accumulate toxins and stimulate organs and tissue lesions, thus forming cancer. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people after the age of 50, their bodies have decreased immunity due to aging, and the cancer risk allegedly reflected by smoking and drinking will be higher, so they will be actively corrected.
Friends who love to eat hot food should correct their concepts
About 90% of patients with esophageal cancer have had long-term experience of eating hot food. In the concept of the older generation, eating hot food can warm the stomach and avoid the occurrence of cold symptoms. However, at the same time, excessive temperatures can also cause mucosa to be irritated and damaged after entering the mouth and esophagus, forming inflammation, and even increasing the risk of oral and esophageal cancer.
Generally speaking, the maximum temperature for the oral and esophagus is below 60 degrees. During daily diet, friends who like to eat hot food should correct their concepts to avoid causing damage and increasing the risk of cancer.
No matter how busy you are, you cannot be lazy and not exercise
For modern people, because of the tight pressure of life and work, it is difficult for someone to take time to exercise. Over time, many people have developed the habit of sitting for a long time and not being able to move. However, exercise has many benefits in fighting cancer and preventing cancer. On the one hand, it can improve the body's immunity; on the other hand, it can strengthen the body's antioxidant power and prevent cancer by delaying aging.No matter how busy you are, you must change your habit of being lazy and not exercising. It is also a good choice to run and do exercises in fragmented time.
In short, if you want to prevent cancer, you don’t rely on the method of complaining about the world. Take positive action and start from improving bad habits in life to improve your health. Especially because of congenital factors, the "high-risk group" who have a higher risk of cancer than others should pay more attention to preventing cancer and correcting bad habits.
3 people are born with a higher risk of cancer, and they should pay more attention to improving life habits
. There is a cancer history in the family . Although congenital factors are not high in the proportion of cancer, if the family has a cancer history, the cancer risk will still be higher than that of peers. For the sake of health, rejecting cancer should be actively prevented.
Yang deficiency constitution people have poor physical fitness . Some people may be caused by premature birth or inadequate nutrition in childhood, including metabolism , blood circulation efficiency, etc., which means that the immune system cannot operate efficiently, and the cancer risk will be higher than that of peers. We must take measures to prevent cancer and supplement nutrition in a timely and scientific manner.
From-term emotional depression may also be related to cancer risk. If a person is born with emotions to avoid negative depression, cell activity decreases under the influence of negative emotions, and physical fitness declines, it may also increase the risk of cancer. Facing life optimistically is also an effective way to prevent cancer.
To sum up, cancer may have congenital factors, but more "decision rights" are actually in your own hands, understand your potential cancer risks, make corresponding life adjustments in advance and screen them regularly, and still have the opportunity to avoid cancer risks. Life is the basis of health. I hope everyone can understand and pay attention to it.
