Do you also have the habit of being a vegetarian on a regular basis? Even if you don’t have a vegetarian meal, do you still force yourself to eat vegetables? A vegetarian diet is good for your health! Huang Yuchun, a colorectal surgeon at Yafeng Lizhi Clinic, pointed out that according to the latest research in “Vegetarian Diet and Risk Assessment of Gastrointestinal Cancer”, eating more vegetarian foods includes fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains and other plant foods and their Vitamin C, folic acid, beta-carotene, dietary fiber and other nutrients have different protective effects on the gastrointestinal tract.
According to statistics, a vegetarian diet can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal cancer in North America and Asia. At the same time, men who eat more fruits and vegetables have a higher protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract than women. Therefore, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, and grains is really a good idea. It has a certain degree of inhibitory effect on intestinal cancer. Huang Yuchun analyzed the following three key points:
1. Men can reduce the risk of bowel cancer by eating more fruits and vegetables
A vegetarian diet reduced the risk of gastrointestinal cancer in male participants, whereas no association was observed in female participants, suggesting that the protective activity of a vegetarian diet once morest gastrointestinal cancer differs between the sexes and may be related to gastrointestinal cancer risk between the sexes. related to natural differences. Global epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer is lower in women than in men because previous studies have demonstrated that estrogen has a certain degree of protective activity in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal cancer.
Female friends may say, “Then it won’t help much if I eat a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables?” Huang Yuchun said, don’t think so, the bacteria in the intestines and the intestinal microbiota play a potential role in regulating the correlation between diet and colorectal cancer. , like various types of dietary fiber, can be fermented or metabolized by colon microorganisms to produce a metabolite called butyrate, which has been shown to have proliferation inhibitory activity once morest colon cancer cells. Simply put, eating more dietary fiber foods has anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties, and can also be used as an energy source for intestinal epithelial cells!
2. Too much meat and processed meat have a high risk of causing cancer.
There is a correlation between meat and processed meat products and tumor occurrence. Huang Yuchun said that previous research has partially revealed the underlying mechanism. Preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites added to processed meats can produce DNA-damaging chemicals. Other studies have also revealed that chemicals formed when red meat is cooked at high temperatures, such as grilling, contribute to the accumulation of mutations in cancer.
Huang Yuchun mentioned that in fact, meat intake is not a big problem, but you should try to eat it with fruits and vegetables. You can choose more foods with vitamin C to neutralize it. Don’t just eat a lot of meat alone and use it for a long time. Intake a lot of meat. There is a risk of intestinal cancer, mainly because meat is rich in protein, fat and essential amino acids. A certain amount of these nutrients will be produced inside following pickling, baking, frying, deep-frying and other processing processes. of carcinogens.
3. Reduce refined sugar intake
Huang Yuchun said that the connection between sugar and cancer has been discussed in academic circles for a long time. However, high sugar intake will be related to intestinal cancer. The main reason is that following ingestion, the blood sugar concentration will increase, produce insulin resistance, and accelerate the growth of cancer cells; in addition, high sugar intake will increase blood sugar concentration. One connection is that the intake of sugar will accelerate the accumulation of fat. Being overweight and obese is also one of the key causes of bowel cancer.
She emphasized that as long as you add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, or eat several vegetarian meals regularly every week, and eat a lot of meat with vegetables or fruits; the onset of intestinal cancer is never caused overnight, but is often caused by a long-term bad life. caused by the pattern.
