The Lancet: Cancer in China is closely related to diet, 4 cooking habits may cause cancer, try to avoid

Every year in China, many people or families face death 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 control your mouth and move your legs, eat less food that is not good for your health, and get rid of some unhealthy cooking habits.

1. Cancer in China is closely related to diet

"The Lancet" once released a survey study on the dietary structure, disease burden, and mortality in 195 countries and found that: In 2017, 11 million deaths in the world were related to unhealthy diets, and China 's diet problems caused The death toll is at the top of the list .

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

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

All kinds of delicacies with complete colors, flavors and tastes are irresistible temptations for many people. Many gourmet experts often delve into new dishes, but there are several wrong cooking habits that must be corrected as soon as possible.

1. Too much seasoning when cooking

If you add too many condiments, such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt at the same time, you will get too much salt if you are not careful, and a long-term high-salt diet may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and high blood pressure.

2. Put the oil in the pot until it smokes

The cooking oil that people use today has relatively few impurities but a high smoke point. If you wait until the oil smokes before putting it into the pan, the temperature of the oil may have been as high as 200 degrees. Carcinogens are produced. It is recommended to cook with hot pan and cold oil.

3. Do not turn on the range hood when cooking

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

4. Using the wrong oil and reusing oil

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

3. How should we eat to be healthy?

"The Lancet" believes that there are three main problems in the Chinese dietary structure: too little whole grains, too much salt, and too little fruit. So what should be 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 oats, brown rice, and beans can be properly added to the three meals.

2. Eat more fruits

The dietary guidelines recommend that adults consume about 200-350 grams of fruit per day, but according to surveys, the average fruit intake of Chinese nationals is far below the recommended amount, so we must eat more fruits.

3. Control salt and limit salt

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that Chinese people consume less than six grams of salt per day, but many people eat significantly more than the standard.

As the saying goes, diseases come from the mouth, and 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 healthily, eat more fruits and whole grains, and limit salt intake Enter and so on.
