Swimming can prevent and treat cancer. Is there a scientific basis for this?
Modern medicine is more and more developed, but it still cannot solve the threat of cancer to life, and because of environmental pollution, food safety and other issues, cancer still has an intensifying momentum. When this terrible disease comes unfortunately, we often go to various well-known hospitals, seek medical treatment and medicine, and fall into a black hole that consumes money, time and energy.
Some data show that swimming can also play an anti-cancer effect. The author is a swimming enthusiast, and I have seen such a case with my own eyes: in our swimming team, there is a 76-year-old liver cancer patient who has undergone surgery. That means time is running out. The old man had the habit of running before he got sick, but now he is too tired to run, so he changes to swimming. Unexpectedly, I can't stop swimming, not only in summer, but also in winter. Later, his spirit and complexion became better and better, his appetite and sleep also improved, and his body was the same as a normal person. .
Under the treatment of well-known doctors, there are times when cancer is helpless. Even in the United States, where the medical treatment is advanced and developed, he does not dare to make this package. So how can swimming solve this worldwide problem? Swimming can prevent and treat cancer. Is there a scientific basis for this? Is this a very isolated example, or is it worth vigorously advocating and emulating? Maybe there is no definite answer to this question, because there are too many factors involved, and everyone's situation is different.
Under normal circumstances, a large malignant tumor must go to the hospital. After all, swimming is not a treatment method, but an auxiliary method. If there is a malignant tumor in the body, it can be eliminated by swimming. Cancer patients will rush into the water. It can only be said that swimming is a more magical exercise, which can enhance physical fitness, enhance the functions of major systems of the body, and improve immunity, thereby achieving the effect of resisting cancer and improving the quality of life. This is a bit similar to our traditional Chinese medicine theory. Although it cannot eliminate cancer cells, it can support the righteousness of the human body. The righteousness exists and the evil cannot invade. Many cancer patients survive with cancer, and they can live in peace with each other.
Then there are also experts who have done this research:
According to Xinhua News Agency, Tang Zhaoyou, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a famous tumor surgery expert, gave a lecture at Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital, where he shared his experience in cancer prevention and treatment. He said that patients can reduce the risk of metastasis through moderate exercise and traditional Chinese medicine. "Swimming and grocery shopping can be prescribed to cancer patients!"
The expert's opinion is refreshing. Many patients suffer great pain every day, and medicine has only played a maintenance role. If modern medical treatments are incapable, why don't we try something?
Academician Tang Zhaoyou has made unremitting efforts in the fight against cancer for more than 40 years. In his treatment experience, he especially emphasizes moderate swimming. Academician Tang pointed out that moderate exercise such as swimming is of great benefit to cancer patients.
He led the researchers to find that regular moderate swimming (8 minutes per day for 9 weeks) can increase DA levels in mouse prefrontal cortex, serum and tumor tissue, inhibit liver cancer growth, reduce lung metastasis and prolong survival in mice Expect. Excessive swimming (16-32 minutes per day for 9 weeks) has the opposite effect.
Lv Youyong, a professor at Peking University Cancer Hospital and secretary-general of the China Cancer Genome Collaborative Alliance, once said: "Cancer itself has examples of self-healing. For example, a tumor patient with severe infection and fever subsides. By running and swimming, you can relax your mind and change your original life. Habits or methods, etc., can adjust and restore the state of the body, especially the mental and emotional improvement of the patient. It cannot be said that it is completely impossible.
What are cancer cells afraid of?
Even though cancer cells are arrogant and grow wildly in the body all the time, in fact, they also have taboos. It likes to live in constant temperature conditions, so it is afraid of heat and cold. There are many articles reporting that people who often have high fever will not get cancer. Fever is an ability of the human body to defend itself and a response of natural immunity. If there are cancer cells in the body, it is likely to be killed in the bud by this high temperature. So is there a drug that can raise the body temperature for a certain period of time after being injected into the human body, and then inject the drug to lower the body temperature, and use artificial methods to break the body temperature environment, so as to achieve the purpose of killing and inhibiting cancer cells? I believe that drugs are difficult to control at will. Just like radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the side effects are also obvious. It will also toss the normal cells of the human body together, making us feel particularly uncomfortable and weak.
Then swimming, especially winter swimming, has a special effect on regulating the body temperature. According to research, the cold can force the blood in the human body to flow from the hands and feet to the heart and other vital organs. During this process, the body temperature in the chest cavity can reach 40 ℃. This state lasts for about 15 to 20 seconds, but it is enough to kill the body. viruses and bacteria".
Regarding the ability of swimming to prevent and treat cancer, this still requires our continuous research, and there is still a lack of systematic and authoritative scientific proof. Regardless of whether swimming can kill cancer cells or not, the benefits of swimming as a physical fitness exercise are obvious, and even unexpected magical effects can occur.
A happy swimmer, both physically and mentally, has a greatly reduced risk of naturally occurring diseases.
