Cancer has consistently ranked as the leading cause of death among the top ten causes in the country, with an average of one in four people developing cancer. Unfortunately, current cancer treatment technologies still have their limitations, making prevention more important than treatment. So, how can we prevent cancer? Doctors recommend paying attention to both 'physical nutrition' and 'psychological nutrition,' including eliminating bad habits, eating more low-fat and high-fiber foods, staying away from stimulants, maintaining emotional stability, and keeping a regular exercise routine.
Dr. Lin Mingcan, a attending physician at the Department of Surgery at National Taiwan University Hospital, points out that according to current medical research, many carcinogenic factors are preventable. For example, Japan has gradually classified cancer as a disease related to poor lifestyle habits, which include improper diet, smoking, and drinking.
Currently, science has identified several aspects of diet related to cancer: (1) Consuming low-fat foods and eating more fiber-rich foods can reduce the risk of breast and colon cancer; (2) A diet rich in vitamin A or carotene helps prevent cancers related to the lungs, bladder, esophagus, and throat; (3) Eating more foods rich in vitamin C can prevent stomach and esophageal cancers; (4) Regularly eating yellow-green cruciferous vegetables helps prevent cancer; (5) Avoiding highly pickled or processed foods to reduce the occurrence of stomach cancer; (6) Not eating moldy foods, as harmful substances like aflatoxin are related to liver cancer; (7) Avoiding smoking and excessive drinking, as both significantly increase the risk of liver, esophageal, and stomach cancers.
Dr. Lin also reminds the public that cancer prevention not only requires attention to 'physical nutrition' but also 'psychological nutrition,' meaning maintaining emotional stability. Animal experiments have shown that exposure to noise, strong light, confinement, and electrode environments can cause physiological changes leading to thymus atrophy. The thymus is a crucial organ in the human immune system for preventing infections and cancer; once it atrophies, the chance of developing cancer greatly increases.
Additionally, scientific research shows that certain psychological traits can aid in patient recovery. The brain hormone β-ENDORPHINE has a significant impact on the psychological level, and our mind is like a strong and rich pharmacy, continuously producing powerful drugs to keep the body healthy. Psychological trauma is often a significant factor leading to a loss of will to live and fight, resulting in chronic illness.
Exercise also has a significant impact on cancer prevention. Foreign studies have found that on average, one in three Americans develops cancer, but only one in seven Americans who enjoy exercise gets cancer. The benefits of exercise are numerous, including supplying oxygen to tissues, making it difficult for cancer cells that prefer anaerobic conditions to survive. Exercise also helps stabilize blood sugar and improve immune function.
Humans are animals meant to move, so inactivity is abnormal, leading to low oxidation, and an imbalance in metabolism is one of the important causes of cancer. Therefore, it is essential to develop a daily habit of 'moving around.' Even if one unfortunately discovers they have cancer, they should face reality bravely, actively fight cancer, correct bad lifestyle habits, and maintain a happy mood, all of which help in cancer treatment and preventing recurrence after surgery, improving the quality of life.
Diet is the most significant key to cancer prevention and longevity.
The longest and shortest average lifespans in the world.
In our human history, 99.999% of habits have been to eat whatever we could find, grow, hunt, or raise. But what is the ideal diet? What consequences might different diets have on health? These questions have never been thoroughly explored.Such issues were unimaginable in the past. However, after World War II, scientists began extensively collecting and compiling statistical data on the correlation between dietary habits and health worldwide. A recurring fact in these data was the strong correlation between high meat consumption and shorter lifespans. Notably, populations such as the Eskimos, Laplanders, Greenlanders, and the Russian Kurgi tribes, who have the highest meat consumption, also have the shortest average lifespans—often only thirty years.
It was also discovered that the harsh climates of these regions were not the sole factor contributing to their short lifespans. Other populations living in severe climates but consuming little to no meat or following vegetarian diets had some of the highest average lifespans in the world. For example, global health statistics revealed that many White Russians, Yucatan Indians, East Indian Todas, and Pakistan Hunzakuts had average lifespans reaching 90 to 100 years.
The United States, despite having the world's most advanced medical technology and a relatively mild climate, ranks among the highest in meat and animal product consumption. Consequently, it has the lowest average lifespan among advanced industrialized nations.
Some of the longest-living cultures in the world include the Vilcambas of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador, the Abknasians of the Black Sea region in the former Soviet Union, and the Hunzas of the Himalayan Mountains in northern Pakistan. Although these groups are scattered across different corners of the globe, researchers found a "striking similarity" in their dietary habits: all three groups are either vegetarian or nearly vegetarian. Among them, the Hunzas, the largest group, consume almost no animal products, with meat and dairy making up only 1.5% of their caloric intake.
Researchers who have visited these groups were amazed to find that these people not only live long lives but also remain active and show no signs of the degenerative diseases that plague the elderly in the United States.
"They continue to work and play well into their eighties and beyond, with most remaining very active even at the age of 100. Retirement is unheard of. Their diets, low in excessive protein, contribute to their lean, curved physiques and slower growth processes. The elderly in these remote regions, with their accumulated wisdom and limited physiological decline, make unique contributions to their societies and are highly respected."
