In addition to genetic factors, gene mutations and environmental factors, the occurrence of cancer is also closely related to people's daily dietary habits. However, this is no longer news. In the past, we mostly introduced some anti-cancer foods. This time, it will be classified according to nutrients. Let's see if the human body lacks which nutrients, there is a possibility of causing cancer.
1. Lack of beta-carotene may induce lung cancer. Currently, lung cancer is still the most common cancer in our country. In addition to smoking and inhaling too many eye factors leading to lung cancer, if the human body lacks beta-carotene, it may also induce lung cancer. Therefore, long-term smokers, tuberculosis patients, and silicosis patients who are prone to lung cancer should eat more foods rich in beta-carotene, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, mangoes, papayas, and tofu.
2. Lack of protein may induce stomach cancer. In the past, stomach cancer was once called a "poor disease." Therefore, patients with atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer patients, those with low immune function, and those with a family history of stomach cancer should often eat foods rich in high-quality proteins, such as deep-sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, and eggs. Moreover, if people consume large amounts of pickled salted fish, salted vegetables, and other foods containing nitrosamine and other carcinogens, the chance of getting stomach cancer will increase. If people consume too much salt, it may lead to atrophic gastritis, which is one of the common precancerous lesions of stomach cancer. Therefore, to prevent stomach cancer, people should reduce their salt intake and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables while eating less smoked and grilled food.
