Many diseases, including cancer, are influenced by genetics. If the father or mother suffered from stomach cancer, the child also has a family history. High blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease are also hereditary. Family history is a kind of ‘early warning.’ The risk of contracting this disease is higher than other people, so it sounds an early warning to be more careful. Only by correcting wrong lifestyle habits can you live a healthy lifespan.
Have a family history of smoking and continue to smoke? “Please quit smoking at all costs”
Smoking is not something that should be reduced. It must be cut off unconditionally. According to data from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, cigarette smoking is the biggest risk factor for various cancers, including lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and oral cancer. High blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage) are also greatly affected by smoking. If you have a family history of these diseases, you should quit smoking first. If your father died of stomach cancer and your child is a heavy smoker, you are putting yourself at risk. You must quit even for the sake of your family.
You have to eat salt, but… Who needs to be reduced?
You must eat salt for your health. However, the problem is that Koreans eat two to three times the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended amount (5 g per day). It increases blood pressure and harms the stomach mucosa. If your parents suffered from stomach cancer, kidney cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, or stroke, you should also reduce your salt intake. Nephrologists always emphasize, “Eat bland food.” If you eat too much salt, your kidneys, which filter out salty ingredients, will be overloaded, which can lead to illness.
If you have enjoyed burnt food for a long time… It is safe to boil and eat
When meat, carbohydrates, etc. are burned, carcinogens such as benzopyrene are created. The higher the temperature it is baked, the more it is produced. Eating burnt food for a long period of time increases the risk of colon cancer and stomach cancer. According to the National Cancer Information Center, colon cancer is caused by excessive intake of calories and saturated fat, but frequent consumption of burnt parts also has a significant impact. If you have a family history of colon cancer, you should be careful regarding burnt meat. Even if the taste is poor, it is safe to boil and eat.
Avoid processed meat (sausages, bacon, ham, etc.)… Group 1 carcinogen
Processed meat is a group 1 carcinogen classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the WHO. It is in the same group as fine dust and cigarettes. It is more dangerous to eat burnt sausages, bacon, etc. It stimulates the colon mucosa and increases the risk of colon cancer. Although they know this, many people eat it because of its unique taste. If you have a family history of colon cancer or stomach cancer, you should refrain from eating processed meat.
There are many anti-cancer ingredients… Vegetables – Why do we hate fruits?
Surprisingly, there are quite a few people who do not like vegetables and fruits. When it comes to fruits, choose only delicious, sweet fruits. According to the National Cancer Information Center, vegetables and fruits contain a lot of plant physiological active substances, which have a high antioxidant effect that reduces oxidation (damage and aging) in the body. It is very helpful in preventing major diseases such as cancer. If you enjoy red meat and processed foods but do not eat vegetables or fruits, you are avoiding disease-preventing ingredients. If you have a family history, it is better to eat even tasteless vegetables as ‘medicine’.
It’s annoying to move… Even if you don’t do formal exercise, your body needs to move.
There are people who always overeat and don’t want to move. If you do not use up the calories from food, fat accumulates in your body, causing you to gain weight and increase your risk of disease. The recent increase in pancreatic cancer is also related to this. In particular, the risk of rectal cancer (colon cancer), which is at risk for anal resection, increases if you sit for a long time. If you have a family history of any cancer, you should increase your physical activity. Formal exercise is good, but you need to move your body diligently in your daily life.
Alcohol is also a group 1 carcinogen… “If you think regarding preventing cancer, not even one drink a day.”
Alcohol is also a group 1 carcinogen. Although drinking small amounts of alcohol was once acceptable, it is now losing its appeal. When it comes to cancer prevention, less than one drink a day is not enough. The cancer prevention rules set by Korea’s health authorities also include ‘Avoid drinking even small amounts of 1 to 2 glasses a day.’ Women in particular have a lower ability to break down alcohol, which can increase their risk of breast cancer. If your father or mother has had cancer, you should be careful regarding drinking.
