When a person sees the words "cancer" appearing on the test sheet, his mood undoubtedly drops to the bottom. Despite the continuous development of modern science, cancer still requires daily protection to achieve. Today, I will introduce you to the six simplest and easiest daily cancer prevention methods. Let's take a look together!
Four cups of green tea per day
Japanese tea drinkers have spent nine years conducting a survey that found that drinking only four or five cups of tea a day can reduce the risk of cancer by 40%. Relevant experts have conducted 17 years of research on the cancer prevention effect of tea, and found that oolong tea, green tea, and black tea have good preventive effects on oral cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer. Among them, green tea, including Longjing, Biluochun, and Maofeng, has the most significant effect, with its cancer prevention components five times higher than other teas. However, it is best not to drink tea that is too strong or too hot, otherwise it will affect its cancer prevention effect. The best temperature for drinking tea should be around 60 degrees Celsius. After soaking the tea for 5 minutes, the effective ingredients can be dissolved in water.
Open the window for at least half an hour
Few people know that in addition to formaldehyde, decoration pollution also has a strong carcinogenic gas - radon and its daughters. It is usually hidden in granite, cement, and ceramic tiles, spreading indoors through cracks in these areas, and entering the human body through the respiratory tract. Over time, it can induce lung cancer. In fact, as long as the window is opened for half an hour every day, the radon concentration can be reduced to the same level as outdoor. In addition, natural gas combustion can also produce radon, so when boiling water in the kitchen, it is best to open the windows and close the doors connected to the bedroom.
Eat with scallions and garlic
In China, the province with the lowest incidence rate of gastric cancer is Shandong, a large province where garlic is grown. Among the four counties north of the Yangtze River with the lowest mortality rate for gastric cancer, the first is Cangshan County in Shandong Province, where the average person eats 6 kilograms of garlic every year.
This is related to the antioxidant effect of allicin, which can reduce the content of carcinogenic nitrite in the human body. Studies have shown that people who eat more garlic have a 60% lower risk of developing stomach cancer. Allicin is produced only when garlic is crushed and fully combined with oxygen, and it is very unstable. Once heated, it quickly loses its effect. Therefore, it is best to grind the garlic and eat it raw, or chop it into mashed garlic and place it in a cold dish.
