Actually, this question depends on how you eat hot pot. If you often eat hot hot pot, that is to say, eat it immediately after it is rinsed, and the taste of the hot pot is still very heavy, there may be a hidden danger of esophageal cancer; but if you have to wait for the food to cool for a while after it is rinsed, and eat it, and the taste of the hot pot is relatively Light, generally no problem.
However, from a health point of view, it is not recommended that you eat too much hot pot, because the soup base of hot pot is relatively high in purines and fats, which can easily lead to chronic diseases.
First we need to understand what esophageal cancer is. Esophageal cancer, also known as esophageal cancer, is a very common cancer among middle-aged and elderly people, and the incidence increases with age. It should be noted that the incubation period of esophageal cancer is as long as 10 years, so even if there is no disease , the same should be paid attention to.
How to avoid esophageal cancer? First, be sure to avoid foods that are too hot or too cold. The mucous membrane of our esophagus wall is very delicate. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the esophagus is similar to that of the body. The best temperature for us to eat food is between 10 and 40 degrees, and the maximum tolerated temperature does not exceed 60 degrees. Secondly, eat while sitting upright and chew slowly. Because a bad sitting posture will increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity, the food will be blocked from entering the stomach, and the esophagus will increase peristalsis to transport the food, and the friction between the food and the esophagus is likely to aggravate the damage to the esophagus wall. The second is to chew slowly, because it is easy to get stuck on hard food such as fishbone, which can pierce the wall of the esophagus and increase the chance of esophageal infection.
Furthermore, the diet should be light, it is best to quit smoking and drinking, and drink less tea. Drinking strong tea or eating heavy and irritating foods such as chili will make the esophageal mucosa hyperplasia, which is one of the important factors leading to esophageal cancer. A study [1] shows that smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day are four times more likely to die from esophageal cancer than non-smokers. In addition, high-alcohol or inferior-quality wine contains harmful chemicals, which may increase the incidence of cancer in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus caused by smoking dozens of times. Simply put, if you smoke and drink, you will suffer from The risk of esophageal cancer increases significantly. Finally, eat fewer cancer-causing foods, including stale vegetables, overnight leftovers, rotting fruit, and moldy grains, as these foods can be infected with mold, which can enhance the carcinogenic effects of nitrosamines. Some studies[2] have shown that nitrosamines are one of the suspected factors leading to human esophageal cancer. Second, eat less salted fish, pickled meat dishes, and fried and barbecued foods.
In short, if the hot pot is not very hot and the taste is relatively bland, it will not increase the risk of esophageal cancer. We need to develop a healthy diet, and if you feel unwell, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
