One in three tumors can be avoided. It is never too late to follow simple rules. And the start of the new year is an excellent opportunity. The World Fund for Cancer Research (World Cancer Research Fund) recalls theAirchas published an obligation revision Of all scientific studies devoted to the relationship between food, lifestyle and tumors. Based on solid data, researchers, epidemiologists and biologists of some of the most prestigious oncological research centers have taken into account the factors that can have a preventive effect or promotion of tumors.
The decalogue for a long and healthy life
1) Keep a healthy weight
In adults, a larger body weight has been shown that the risk of developing esophagus tumors (adenocarcinoma), pancreas, liver, colonct, chest (postmenopausal), kidney, endometrium considerably increases. It is likely that a greater accumulation of body fat increases the risk of mouth tumors, pharynx, larynx, stomach (cardia’s), gallbladder, ovary, prostate (advanced). By keeping life a healthy weight is essential for cancer prevention. However, overweight and obesity (mainly evaluated by BMI – Body Mass Index – and life’s life) are constantly increasing.
2) Be physically active
Moderate intensity activities include walking, cycling, performing household tasks, gardening, swimming and dancing; Those with powerful intensity include running, swimming fast, fast cycling, aerobics, weightlifting and team sports. 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of powerful exercise per week are recommended (World Health Organization, NHS, American Medical Association). There is convincing evidence that the walk protects against weight gain, overweight and obesity; It is also demonstrated in children – and there are probably evidence in adults – that the greater the time spent in front of the screens (sedentary life indicator), the greater the chance of experiencing weight gain, as well as overweight and obesity. A larger body weight is a cause of many tumors, so physical activity indirectly reduces the risk of tumors related to obesity.
3) Eat full grains, vegetables, fruit and legumes
A diet rich in food from Vegetable Sprong contributes to reducing the risk of tumors. To follow a healthy diet, it is useful to keep the Mediterranean diet in mind, the most designed diet in the world because of the protective and healthy effects. From a nutritional point of view, full grains, vegetables, fruit and legumes are rich in fabrics, in “PhytocomponPos” jargon, which are exclusive to the vegetable world. It is a large group of more and more designed molecules in the laboratory for their potential effects on protective cellular mechanisms for the body.
4) Limita I “Fastfood”
Snacks, snacks and other foods of this type, although they are consumed in small doses, have a high energy density and can therefore contribute to an excess of weight, promoting the circumstances of overweight and obesity that are known oncological risk factors
5) Limit red and processed meat
The red meat includes those pigs, cattle (including veal), goats, sheep, lamb and horse. It is not recommended to take them, but for those who are used to eating them, the World Fund for Cancer Research recommends a maximum of 3 portions per week, which are equivalent to a weekly total of around 350-500 grams. In addition, it is proposed to avoid or limit the processed red meat to the maximum. It is also proposed to reduce food as possible that preserved, contains red or white meat that a transformation undergoes: not only, so salami, cold cuts and frankfurders, but also easily canned meat. By constantly deviating from these indications, the risk of developing different types of cancer can increase, including that of Colorectal. However, by wanting to consume meat, it is preferable to choose white meat.
6) Limits Suggest Drinks
There is convincing evidence that the consumption of sugary drinks is a cause of weight gain, overweight and obesity, both in children and adults, especially when they are often or in large quantities. Sweet drinks prefer this phenomenon by promoting excessive energy intake compared to energy consumption. It is advisable to drink unwanted water or drinks, such as tea or coffee without added sugar. Fruit juices may not be consumed in large quantities, because even without added sugar it is likely that they promote weight gain in a similar way as sugary drinks. There are no convincing tests that suggest that artificially sweetened drinks with minimal energy content, such as drinks in food, are a cause of cancer. The available evidence is insufficient to formulate a recommendation with regard to artificially sweetened drinks and therefore water is recommended or other non -sugarian alternatives.
7) Limited alcohol consumption
There is no “safe” threshold for alcohol. Even a glass of wine per day hurts. Alcoholic beverages of all species have a similar influence on the risk of cancer, such as beers, wines, spirits (liqueurs) or other drinks, as well as other sources of alcohol. The important factor is the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption (ethanol). Even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of different tumors. There are strong indications that alcohol consumption is the risk of mouth tumors, pharynx and larynx, esophagus (scaled cell carcinoma), chest (postmenopausal), liver, colonct. Alcohol can also cause stomach cancer and breast cancer (pre-menopause).
8) Do not use supplements for cancer prevention
Varying diet is a more valid rule if we want to prevent tumors. To date there is no evidence that the use of supplements, instead of the food that naturally contains the substances, is a healthy habit. It has also not been shown that taking supplements can reduce the incidence of cancer. Only the present doctor, after careful evaluation, should advise whether or not it is appropriate to integrate the diet with specific products, which also indicates the quantities needed to balance the lack of one or more nutrients.
9) For mothers: breastfeeding your child if possible
The benefits for the mother and for the child increase with the duration of breastfeeding. There are certain situations in which breastfeeding is recommended with caution or not recommended, as in the case of mothers with HIV/AIDS. There is a large corpus of evidence that supporting the role of breastfeeding in promoting other aspects of health during the course of life.
10) Follow these recommendations if you have had cancer
Within the few studies that are available for the prevention of repetition, the recommendations for the prevention of tumors above are also worthy of those who have already received a diagnosis of cancer. Following a varied and balanced diet and continuing to be active are among the most important habits that must be brought into practice, both by those who are sick, after consultation with their doctor, and by those who have passed on the disease and run the risk of recurrence.
