Food, Nutrition and Cancer Prevention

The American Cancer Institute and the World Cancer Research Foundation have invited 15 experts from eight countries to form a group of international experts. They have analyzed more than 4,500 articles published since 1982. He also wrote a special report on "Food, Nutrition and Cancer Prevention."
The special report pointed out that a reasonable diet, regular exercise and maintaining a normal weight will reduce the number of cancer cases worldwide by 30% to 40%. Diets have a great impact on the risk of stomach cancer and colon cancer, but have little effect on cancer risk in other areas. However, diet, physical activity, and body weight seem to have a significant impact on the risk of 20 different types of cancer.
At present, there are more than 10 million new cases of cancer each year in the world, and it is expected that the number of new cancer cases may increase to 14.7 million by 2020. Experts believe that if we follow the following recommendations, we can reduce cancer worldwide by 30%-40%.
These suggestions are:
The main choice is plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, beans, and crude processed starchy staple foods.
Avoid underweight or overweight. The weight gain from youth to middle age should be limited to 5 kg.
If the work is less physical activity, one day should be engaged in physical activity equivalent to walking one hour, and at least one hour of intense exercise every week, which helps reduce the risk of certain cancers, especially colon cancer.
Should eat 400 to 800 grams of fruits and vegetables daily.
Daily should eat 600 to 800 grams of cereals, beans, root foods, eat less refined sugar.
If you drink alcohol, men limit you to two drinks a day, and women limit you to a drink.
If you eat meat, daily intake of red meat should be less than 80 grams.
The fat and oil energy should not exceed 30% of the total energy intake.
Eat less salted food and reduce cooking salt.
Do not eat food that has been stored at room temperature for too long, because it is easy to contaminate mycotoxins.
Food that is not eaten must be refrigerated so that it does not spoil.
Levels of additives, contaminants, and residues are properly controlled, and food and beverages do not pose a health hazard.
Do not eat charred food. Eat less meat and fish grilled directly on open fire and eat less bacon. Use lower temperatures to cook meat and fish.
If you follow the above recommendations, you generally do not need to take dietary supplements, which do not help reduce the risk of cancer. In addition, do not smoke or chewing tobacco.
