After 60 years of studying cancer, a 92-year-old oncology academician shared: If you don't want to get into cancer, try not to touch 4 things! Put it in the circle and thank you for a lifetime!
Since 1951, Sun Yan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has been battling tumors for 60 years, and is now 92 years old. As an oncologist, what is his secret to staying healthy? Academician Sun Yan has shared her cancer prevention secrets in public many times, and everyone can do it. ..
1. Don't touch high-fat, fried food
Academician Sun Yan has a principle when eating, that is, he only eats 7 minutes full when he eats, and when he feels that he has almost eaten, he leaves the table immediately. At the same time, he suggested that we should avoid animal fats, red meat and fried foods in our meals to reduce the risk of cancer.
According to a survey by the National Cancer Center, among the 23 major carcinogenic risks in China, the number one is not smoking and drinking, but insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, accounting for 15.6%.
Poor foods are an important factor in the development of cancer, and processed meats are classified as Group 1 carcinogens by WHO, including foods such as bacon, ham and hot dogs, and long-term intake of processed meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%.
In addition to processed meat, red meat is also a high-risk carcinogenic factor. Long-term intake of large amounts of red meat can lead to a shorter life expectancy and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. In particular, after red meat is grilled and fried, the risk of cancer increases considerably.
Therefore, in daily life, we should control the intake of red meat and high-fat foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" recommends that Chinese people should consume 300~500 grams of vegetables and 200~350 grams of fresh fruits every day, and at the same time, with a moderate intake of meat products, which can effectively reduce the risk of cancer.
If you want to prevent cancer, in addition to eating a healthy diet, you must also choose the right foods, and the intake of bad foods will have adverse effects on your health.
2. Do not touch tobacco and alcohol
Academician Sun Yan has repeatedly called for smoking control like drunk driving, and many cancer patients have listened to his words before quitting cigarettes, and he thinks that these patients, if they can quit cigarettes a long time ago, may not need to come to the hospital at all. Cigarettes and alcohol hurt our bodies.
When smoking, the smoke produced by combustion contains more than 7,000 compounds, including carbon monoxide, volatile nitrosamines, nicotine and smoke tar, most of which are harmful to the body, and at least 69 of them are carcinogens. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrosamines are clearly carcinogenic substances, and the more you smoke and the longer you smoke, the greater the harm to your body.
It can be said that smoking is harmful to the body, and long-term smoking will increase the incidence of lung cancer, oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers. According to the report in the "China Smoking Health Hazards Report 2020", about 1 million people in China lose their lives every year due to smoking, which is higher than the total number of deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis, traffic accidents, and suicide.
Alcohol is a Class 1 carcinogen, and one out of every 18 cancer patients is related to drinking. Drinking alcohol significantly increases the incidence of many types of cancer, including oral cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, and stomach cancer.
2. Do not touch carcinogenic pathogens
Academician Sun Yan believes that many cancers are actually artificially induced, for example, infection with HPV (human papillomavirus) will increase the incidence of cervical cancer. According to The Lancet Global Health, in 2018, 2.2 million new cancer cases worldwide were caused by infectious pathogens, accounting for about 13% of all new cancer cases.
Common pathogen infections include the following:
1. HPV virus
HPV virus is a high-risk factor for cervical cancer, and more than 9 percent of patients with cervical cancer have HPV infection, which can be transmitted through sex and contact.
2. Hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis B virus infection will induce hepatitis B, and without active intervention and treatment, it will gradually form a trilogy: hepatitis B→ cirrhosis→ liver cancer, and hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through three routes: mother-to-child, blood, and sexual contact.
3. Epstein-Barr virus
Infection with EBV predisposes to the occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and almost all patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have manifestations of EB infection. Epstein-Barr virus is mainly transmitted through close oral contact, and infection can occur from mouth-to-mouth feeding to children and kissing.
4. Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori infection is a high incidence of gastric cancer, and the risk of disease will increase by 2~6 times compared with ordinary people.
Cancer is not contagious, but carcinogenic pathogens can be transmitted, so it is important to pay attention to hygiene in daily life to prevent infection.

Fourth, don't hurt your emotions
"Now the pace of life is fast, everyone is under a lot of pressure, it is recommended that you do not get angry, do not toss, do not drill the horns, want to open everything, and be a 'heartless and lungless' person, because a happy spirit can indeed give you a good body."
Academician Sun Yan considers himself a "heartless" person, because he rarely gets angry, because he finds that many cancer patients have a common trigger, that is, they are stressed, and they are in a bad mood of depression and worry for a long time.
Being in a bad mood for a long time will cause the body to produce a "stress response", which will reduce the body's immunity and allow cancer cells to take advantage of it.
Excessive suppression of emotions, especially bad emotions, such as anger, sadness, etc., do not let them get reasonable relief, this kind of personality is called type C personality, also known as "cancer personality", 40%~80% of common cancer patients have cancer personality, and people with cancer personality have a 3 times higher risk of cancer than others.
These seemingly simple lifestyle habits are the "gold standard" for preventing cancer, and if you want to prevent cancer, you need to start changing it now.
