Weekend Topics Eat 5 foods less and learn 4 ways to stay away from the risk of inflammation to cancer

Whenever there is a cold, probably many people hear the most common word is "anti-inflammatory", the reason why anti-inflammatory is needed, indicating that there is inflammation
in the body.
In daily life, we are often troubled by all kinds of inflammation, but many people are not clear
about what inflammation is.

Inflammation can be said to be a series of immune reactions produced by the immune system in our body stimulated by external factors, in this process there are inflammatory mediators and inflammatory factors in the body, which can be manifested as redness, swelling, heat, and pain
.
In most cases, the inflammation produced in our body is short and mild, and does not cause serious harm to the body, and even sometimes "carry" by yourself, the inflammation will disappear
on its own.

It is not one disease, but a "guide"
for many diseases.
Some inflammations, if left untreated, can eventually develop into cancer
.

The editor excerpts an excerpt from a popular science article of the public number "ECS Early Cancer Screening" to help you understand 5 kinds of "pro-inflammatory" foods and learn 4 "anti-inflammatory" methods to help you maintain healthy eating habits and lifestyles and stay away from cancer risks
in daily life.

Chronic inflammation is a long-term disease that can develop
gradually over months or years.
Some diseases can adversely affect the immune system, leading to repeated or persistent low levels of inflammation in the body, and this "chronic, low-grade inflammation" is closely related to
your health.
According to research, chronic low-grade inflammation can cause DNA damage, which can lead to cancer, such as colon cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, etc.

In 2015, an article published in the Journal of the Second Military Medical University "The relationship between diet nutrition and inflammation-cancer risk" said that the inflammatory environment in the body is an important risk factor for various cancers, and many cancers occur on the basis of chronic inflammation, such as: smoking→ tracheitis→ silicosis, and lung cancer; Gastritis→ Helicobacter pylori→ gastric cancer; chronic ulcerative colitis → colon cancer; Chronic hepatitis - liver cancer
.

In addition, the continuous inflammatory response can lead to necrosis and proliferation of somatic cells, giving cancer an opportunity
.

Diet has a certain effect
on the level of inflammation in the body.
Some types of daily diet may induce persistent inflammation in the body and even accelerate the development of
cancer.

Researchers at the University of South Carolina investigated 1943 similar studies and published in 2014 a Dietary Inflammation Index (DII) that quantifies the anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory effects of diet, covering 45 dietary components
that affect inflammation in the body.

Not only is the occurrence of cancer related to diet, but a review of 15 meta-analyses of 4 million people in April 2021 found that a pro-inflammatory diet increases the risk of 27 chronic diseases and early death
.
The researchers found strong evidence linking a pro-inflammatory diet to cancers such as heart attack, premature death, bowel cancer, pancreatic, respiratory and oral cancer, and depression
.

So, what is a pro-inflammatory diet?

:p lay_button: Pro-inflammatory diet: It is to eat foods that may increase the body's inflammation level for a long time;

:p lay_button: Anti-inflammatory diet: Foods
that help reduce inflammation levels.

For example, 5 common foods in daily life belong to pro-inflammatory foods and should be eaten
less.

1.
Wine

Topical alcohol can disinfect and sterilize and reduce infection, but excessive drinking can induce or aggravate inflammation
.

2.
Processed meat and red meat

processed meats such as ham, hot dogs, sausages, bacon, etc.
; Red meat such as pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals contain high saturated fatty acids
.

3.
Fried food

Fried food contains a large amount of saturated fatty acids, which is a pro-inflammatory food, and it is best to choose organic rapeseed oil, virgin olive oil, etc
.
for edible oil.

4.
Trans fatty acids

Biscuits, milk tea, etc.
are common foods containing trans fatty acids, which are easy to promote the occurrence and development
of inflammation in the body.

5.
Refined carbohydrates

Victoria Drake, a nutritionist at Oregon State University in the United States, found that foods that contain a lot of refined carbohydrates, such as cakes and sweet bread, produce pro-inflammatory factors
.

Inflammation is a double-edged sword, if you want to change the body's inflammatory environment, it is not enough to change the diet, but also need a healthy lifestyle, such as drinking more water, exercising frequently, calming the mind, maintaining sleep, heavy protection, etc
