In today's time, cancer has become a major cause of death all over the world. There can be many reasons for this, but one of the biggest reasons is our diet. The food we eat every day directly affects our health. There are some things that damage the cells of the body and cause cancer. The good news is that we can avoid this disease by improving our eating habits. Some common food items like processed food, repeatedly heated oil, and alcohol can be very dangerous for our body. These things slowly go inside the body and sow the seeds of cancer. Let's know which are the things that increase the risk of cancer
Fried foodIf you consume fried food daily, then you should be cautious. Samosas, pakoras, French fries, fried chicken, namkeen, chips, all these may taste good but their repeated consumption increases the chances of getting cancer. Science has also proved that fried food in excess oil produces such elements that damage the cells of the body.
Reheated oilWhen oil is reheated after being used once, harmful elements like Acrylamide and PAF (Platelet Activating Factor) are formed in it. Both these elements increase the risk of cancer manifold when they enter the body. If you are eating chole-bhature or samosa from the market, then keep in mind that these are often made in the same oil which is heated again and again. So next time eat such food only after thinking carefully.
Ultra-processed foodNowadays packaged food like packaged snacks, sugary drinks (like cold drinks), processed meat (like sausages, bacon, nuggets etc.) all contain a lot of chemical elements, preservatives and artificial colors. Consuming them in excess increases inflammation in the body and weakens the cells, which also increases the risk of cancer.
LiquorDoctors and scientists believe that drinking alcohol is a direct invitation to cancer. Alcohol can especially cause these types of cancer: liver cancer, food pipe cancer, pancreas cancer. Apart from this, alcohol damages many organs of the body and weakens the immune system.
What to do to prevent cancer?The sooner you stay away from these dangerous things, the better it is. Nothing will happen by just talking, start the change from your food plate.
Eat fresh, home-cooked food .
Eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible
Include whole grains like lentils, rice, millet, barley etc. in your diet.
Keep away from fast food, canned and adulterated things.
To bear in mindIf you eat French fries or burgers occasionally, it is okay.
The problem arises when these things become a daily habit.
Therefore, it is important that you improve your daily eating habits.
By improving our eating habits, we can not only protect ourselves from cancer but can also live a long and healthy life. So, decide from today itself to give up the food that increases the risk of cancer. Adopt the food that increases life.
