In the past, there was a culture of eating stew together with a spoon that went in and out of the mouth. These days, this eating habit has greatly decreased, such as using personal plates at home. When Corona 19 was in full swing, there was a campaign to use a front plate when eating stew. How did your eating habits change these days when the corona died?

◆ As the corona situation stabilizes… Easing the trend of avoiding restaurant stew

As the corona situation stabilized, a survey result showed that the tendency to avoid stews when using outside restaurants decreased. In 2021, 78.0% of respondents said that food eaten together, such as stew, needed attention, but in 2023, it decreased to 64.9%. This is the result of a ’employee lunch-related perception survey’ of 1,000 men and women between the ages of 19 and 59 nationwide by market research specialist Embrain Trend Monitor.

In particular, the tendency to eat alone in the 20s and 30s (50.0% in their 20s, 51.8% in their 30s, 38.0% in their 40s, and 31.6% in their 50s) stood out. It is shown that he has a clear desire to spend his lunch break alone without being interfered by his boss or co-workers. In general, there were many cases of eating with team members (65.4%, multiple responses) or close colleagues (46.7%), but there was little awareness that team members and department members should eat together (20.3%, agreement rate).

◆ Helicobacter pylori is a carcinogen… “Use the front plate”

These days, when you eat joint stew, you almost use the front plate. In the past, when eating with their own spoons, there were many points of concern regarding stomach cancer. Stomach cancer is caused by eating salty and burnt food, but the culture of eating stew with a high risk of Helicobacter pylori infection also affects it. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified Helicobacter pylori as a carcinogen that can cause gastric cancer. Having two or more gastric cancer patients in a family is influenced by diet sharing in addition to genetics.

◆ About 27,000 new patients per year… “You must do an endoscopy”

There are still many new cases of gastric cancer every year. According to the National Cancer Registry statistics released last December, 26,662 gastric cancer patients occurred in 2020. People over the age of 40 can undergo a gastroscopy every two years, but the mortality rate is high. Gastroscopy is the surest way to reduce the mortality rate of gastric cancer, but there are not a few cases in which it is found difficult to treat because the screening subjects avoid the examination because they are ‘annoyed’ and ‘terrified’.

◆ Smoking also increases the risk of stomach cancer by 2.5 times… Green onion, garlic, onion, etc. contribute to prevention

In addition to salty food and burnt food, smoking also increases the risk of gastric cancer by 2.5 times. This is because cigarette smoke, which contains numerous carcinogens, penetrates into the stomach and blood vessels and irritates the mucous membrane. Liliaceae vegetables and fresh fruits such as green onions, garlic, and onions are considered as foods that help prevent stomach cancer. This is because there are many antioxidants that reduce oxidation (damage) of cells in the body. Stomach cancer is asymptomatic in the early stages, and when heartburn, indigestion, or abdominal pain appear, it is quite advanced. You can prevent cancer if you pay attention to your body.
