In addition to genetic factors, gene mutations and environmental factors, the onset of cancer is also closely related to people's daily dietary habits. However, this is not a new story. In the past, most of our introductions were about some anti-cancer foods. This time, we will classify according to nutrients. Let's take a look at which nutrients the human body lacks that may have carcinogenic potential.
1. Lack of beta-carotene may induce lung cancer. Currently, lung cancer is still the highest incidence 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 who are prone to stomach cancer should often eat foods rich in high-quality proteins, such as deep-sea fish and shrimp, oysters, soybeans, lean meat, and eggs. In addition, if people consume large amounts of pickled salted fish, salted vegetables, and other foods containing nitrosamine and other carcinogens, it will also increase the chance of getting stomach cancer. If people consume too much salt, it may lead to atrophic gastritis. This disease is one of the common precancerous lesions of stomach cancer. Therefore, in order to prevent stomach cancer, people should reduce their salt intake, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less smoked and grilled food.
