Every year in China, many people or families face separation due to cancer. The high incidence of cancer in China is closely related to the unhealthy eating habits of Chinese people.

If you want to stay away from cancer, you must keep your mouth shut and open your legs, eat less food that is not good for your health, and change some unhealthy cooking habits.

1. Cancer in China is closely related to diet

"The Lancet" once released a survey study that tracked the dietary structure, disease burden, and mortality of 195 countries and found that: in 2017, 11 million deaths worldwide were related to unhealthy diets, and China was caused by dietary problems. death toll tops the list .

In China, 57.99% of cardiovascular mortality and 15.32% of cancer mortality are related to poor diet. The reason is that Chinese people have too much sodium intake and too little intake of whole grains, vegetables, fruits and other foods .

2. 4 cooking habits, correct them as soon as possible

A variety of delicious food is an irresistible temptation for many people. Many food experts often study new dishes, but there are several wrong cooking habits that must be corrected as soon as possible.

1. Too much seasoning when cooking

Too many condiments, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, etc. are added at the same time, and there will be too much salt accidentally, and long-term high-salt diet may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension.

2. The oil is smoked before putting it in the pot

The edible oil that people use today has relatively few impurities and a high smoke point. If you wait for the oil to smoke and then put it in the pot, the temperature of the oil may be over 200 degrees Celsius. Cooking at this time is likely to cause damage to the nutrition of the food, and even Produce carcinogens, it is recommended to cook with hot pan and cold oil.

3. Do not turn on the hood for cooking

Harmful substances may be produced in the kitchen fumes when cooking. If you do not turn on the hood or turn it off immediately after cooking, it is likely to increase the risk of lung cancer. It is recommended to let the hood run for a few minutes after cooking.

4. Use the wrong oil, reuse the oil

Many people think that self-pressed oil is better, but they don’t know that self-pressed oil may have problems such as excessive aflatoxin and more fumes. It is best to choose edible oil purchased from regular supermarkets. It is best not to reuse the used oil, so as to avoid high-temperature frying to produce carcinogens such as benzopyrene and heterocyclic amines.

3. How should we eat to be healthy?

"The Lancet" believes that there are three main problems in the Chinese diet: too little whole grains, too much salt, and too little fruit. So what is the correct way to eat?

1. Eat more whole grains

The Chinese Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults consume about 250-400 grams of cereals and potatoes per day, so some cereals such as oatmeal, brown rice, and mixed beans can be appropriately added to the three meals.

2. Eat more fruits

The dietary guidelines recommend that adults should consume about 200-350 grams of fruit per day, but according to the survey, the average fruit intake of Chinese citizens is much lower than the recommended amount, so we must eat more fruit.

3. Salt control and salt limit

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that the daily salt intake of Chinese nationals should be less than six grams, but many people eat significantly more salt.

As the saying goes, an unhealthy diet is closely related to the high incidence of cancer in China. It is a good thing to study food, but you must get rid of some unhealthy cooking habits, and eat healthy, eat more fruits, whole grains, and limit salt intake Enter and so on.
