Young 25-year-old rectal cancer because of eating barbecue often
Recently, the second hospital of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, China received a colon cancer patient - Xia Lin, 25, due to the nature of his work, so he often dined in the middle of the night, Food is also full of spicy and salty foods. His favorite late night snack is barbecue. In March of this year, Xiao Lin found himself suffering from frequent abdominal pain, went to the doctor for examination, and the results showed that he had a large tumor like a chicken egg in the intestinal tract.
Further diagnosis, the doctor discovered Tieu Lam had colon cancer in the middle stage, after invasive surgery, the doctor conducted removal of the intestinal tumor. The doctor said that Xiao Lin has colon cancer that is closely related to eating habits.
Harm of barbecue on health
In March this year, the Hangzhou City Market Supervision Bureau and Zhejiang University experts conducted an experiment to measure "baking benzopyrene content." The results showed that the baking method and the time Grilling changes the content of benzopyrene in baked goods: The longer the baked food at high temperature, the higher the content of benzopyrene, the greater the chance of causing cancer.
According to one study, if the grill has benzopyrene content of 5,000ng / kg (nanogram / kilogram), then a grilled chicken leg of 100gr has 500ng benzopyrene. While amount of benzopyrene in 1 cigarette is 100ng. Thus, the content of benzopyrene in a grilled chicken leg is equivalent to 5 cigarettes, not to mention the high temperature of the fat dripping to the coal and rising, mingling with the protein in the meat to form benzopyrene, if the food is often baked, the quality is This buildup, can cause stomach cancer, colorectal cancer .
Another study also showed that burnt benzobyrene (approximately 0.9kg) of burnt roasted meat was equivalent to the amount of benzopyrene in the smoke of 600 cigarettes. This shows that the danger when you eat flesh is not small.
Colon cancer can be prevented through healthy eating habits. There are many risk factors that people can avoid:
Red meats (beef, lamb) are considered to be closely related to colon cancer. Eat about 160g / day or a diet with meat more than 5 times / week is 3 times higher risk.
In the form of frying, baking, bacon, ham, sausage, protein will increase the carcinogenic factor, and fat will be metabolized by bacteria in the intestine, increasing the production of epithelial cells often and develop into cancer.
Eating a lot of meat, fat, protein, and low fiber can easily lead to obesity and a high risk of colon cancer, so a more scientific diet is needed to prevent disease.
Foods high in fiber (green vegetables, fruits) help reduce this risk because fiber helps increase folic acid consumption, increasing fiber intake with carcinogenic factors leading to removal from heart early intestine because of reduced stasis time.
In addition, fiber reduces pH in the colon and increases the production of short-chain fatty acids and trace elements against oxidation.
Alcohol-containing drinks increase the risk of colon cancer.
Obesity also increases the risk of colorectal cancer for both men and women, but is more pronounced in men. In men with a high BMI, there is a double risk, while in obese women the risk is 1.5 times higher.
Tobacco is known as 'killer' of cardiovascular disease or lung cancer. It has recently been recognized as important risk factors for colon cancer for both sexes, especially when combined with alcohol.
Physical activity, exercise or exercise will reduce the risk of colon cancer.
