If you want to ask the most impressive mantra in childhood, it is the elders who say it—-
Eat it while it’s hot, don’t wait for it to cool!
I think many people are like me. They are good sons who are honest and obedient. For so many years, they have to earnestly “eat while they are hot”.
But the problem is that this traditional habit may be the culprit of cancer.
Drinking hot water above 65°C may cause cancer!
World Health Organization Research:
Drinking hot water above 65°C for a long time will cause chronic damage to the esophageal mucosa.
The esophageal mucosa is repeatedly damaged and healed, and the mucosa in the esophagus is repeatedly shed and renewed, which makes gene mutations prone to occur after cell proliferation. If stimulated, it is prone to the risk of malignant transformation of cells, making people suffer from esophageal cancer.
Therefore, hot beverages above 65°C are also included in the 2A carcinogen list.
The question is, don’t I feel hot when I usually eat it?
This is mainly because —– the esophagus has been silently enduring all this without “speaking”.
It should be known that the esophagus is not sensitive to temperature, so it is often mistaken for “very strong”, but when we eat hot pot, we always feel that something is burning our mouth, so we will quickly swallow it, and we will Let the esophagus and stomach suffer silently.
But the esophageal mucosa, like the oral mucosa, cannot help but suffer from scalding.
Scientific diet, avoid esophageal cancer
Esophageal cancer is probably less well known than lung, liver, and breast cancers.
However, my country is also a country with a high incidence of esophageal cancer. There are more than 400,000 new cases of esophageal cancer every year in the world, about 63% of which occur in my country .
About 150,000 people die from esophageal cancer in my country every year, accounting for almost 1/4 of all deaths from malignant tumors in the country.
Esophageal cancer ranks eighth among the world’s cancer diseases, and 5% of patients lose their precious lives because of this disease. Most of the patients are because they do not pay attention to their diet. The structure causes lesions of the esophageal mucosa.
In your daily life, you need to pay attention to the following points:
One, don’t eat hot food
As mentioned above, eating hot food for a long time will not only cause damage to the esophagus and increase the risk of esophageal cancer, but also stimulate the stomach and increase the incidence of the digestive system.
Anyone should eat less food that is too greasy, spicy, too hot, too cold, and eat more food with low irritation, less oil, less salt and suitable temperature.
Two, do not drink too hot water
Try to avoid drinking too hot tea, especially people in Guangdong and Fujian areas like to drink Kung Fu tea, too hot tea can easily burn the throat, try to wait until the tea is slightly cooler before drinking it.
Third, stay away from alcohol and tobacco
To prevent esophageal cancer, smoking and drinking habits must also be corrected.
Smoking will cause the esophagus to be invaded by harmful substances such as nicotine and nicotine, and drinking alcohol will also stimulate the esophageal mucosa by alcohol. Therefore, everyone should avoid smoking and drinking, so as to protect the Esophageal mucosa.
Fourth, eat less pickled food
In animal experiments, pickled foods also affect the risk of esophageal cancer, especially the nitrites in pickled foods.
Crowd surveys also confirm this view. People who eat kimchi for a long time are indeed more likely to develop esophageal cancer than those who do not eat kimchi very much.
In addition, eating fast, like eating hard and dry food will increase the risk of esophageal cancer.
Once you find that you have a foreign body sensation when swallowing, difficulty swallowing food smoothly, or pain behind the breastbone, you should be alert to esophageal cancer, and you need to go to the hospital in time to be diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer should not be overly nervous and afraid.
As long as there is no metastasis, most patients can be cured by surgery combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. In the case of metastasis, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can also help patients control cancer cells. Make your body better.
Of course, if you want to prevent esophageal cancer and reduce the risk of developing it, just do the opposite of the above!
Do not eat hot food, pickled food, do not swallow the eaves when eating, chew slowly, do not smoke or drink……
So, next time someone shouts about drinking more hot water, you just smile and say to him:
