[Reported by Tsai Ching-chien]Cancer has ranked first among the top ten causes of death in Taiwan for many years. What lifestyle habits increase the risk of cancer? In addition to bad lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking, Japanese surgeon and cancer expert Norihiro Sato said that there are three super common, seemingly small things you do every day that may increase the risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and other cancers!
Habit 1 that increases cancer risk: Eating too late!May increase risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer by 20%
A Spanish study examined 621 prostate cancer patients and 1,205 breast cancer patients and investigated indicators such as eating time and sleeping habits. The results found that compared with those who went to bed immediately after dinner, those who went to bed more than 2 hours after dinner People who just sleep have a 20% lower risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Researchers also found that “people who eat dinner earlier” and “people who do not eat for a longer time at night” have better blood sugar control and a lower risk of cancer. They believe that meal time may be included in ways to prevent cancer. one.
Norihiro Sato further shared that another survey on fasting time at night found that compared with women who fasted for up to 13 hours, women who fasted for less than 13 hours had a 36% chance of breast cancer recurrence and a higher mortality rate. 21%, both significantly higher. Norihiro Sato explained that if high blood sugar levels continue to be maintained at night, it will have an impact on the risk of cancer and the development of cancer. People should avoid eating dinner too late, not only to prevent obesity and diabetes, but also to fight cancer.
Eating too late not only increases the risk of cancer, but also has three major disadvantages!
Eating dinner too late not only increases the risk of cancer, but also causes many negative effects on the body. Nutritionist Lin Yuting once explained in a media interview that it takes about 4 hours for people to digest and absorb after eating. If dinner is eaten too late, there will be no time to digest it, and fat will form. In addition, Joseph Mercola, a well-known family physician and MD, also wrote in “There is no such thing as fat in life!” It is recommended in “Cyclic Ketogenic Fasting Method” that you should not eat at least 3 hours before going to bed. Otherwise, eating too close to bedtime will lead to three major problems:
Damage to cell health: The energy demand during sleep is low. If energy is provided when the body does not need it, the mitochondria will store it as fat. Excess fat will cause cell membranes and proteins to be damaged by free radicals.
Disruption of circadian rhythm: Circadian rhythm has the important function of directing hormones, neurotransmitters and many organs. If the circadian rhythm is out of balance, health cannot be maintained.
Inability to effectively burn fat: This will result in insufficient time to reduce glycogen content, and the body will not use stored fat as an energy source, losing the opportunity to switch to fat-burning mode.
Habit 2 that increases cancer risk: Failure to take good care of your teeth!Periodontal disease increases colorectal cancer risk by 50%
Periodontal disease bacteria are closely linked to colorectal cancer. Norihiro Sato explained that in 2012, a periodontal disease bacterium called Fusobacterium nucleatum was found in the oral cavity, feces, and cancer tissue of colorectal cancer patients. It is known that the bacteria will move from the mouth to the large intestine. and is associated with colorectal cancer. The periodontology team at Tuft University School of Dentistry has even discovered that Fusobacterium nucleatum can cause systemic inflammation and may even invade the nervous system, exacerbating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
In addition, a US study of 7,466 people in Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, and North Carolina also found that patients with periodontal disease have a 50% increased risk of colorectal cancer.
The oral cavity is far away from the intestinal tract. Why are oral diseases related to colorectal cancer? Norihiro Sato explained that periodontal disease will produce a chronic inflammatory reaction in the oral cavity. The chronic inflammatory reaction is like a “tiny fire”. If it is not put out for a long time, it will cause damage to the organs and blood vessels of the whole body in the long run. It is recommended that the public take careful care. Teeth, and go to the dentist regularly to check the condition of your mouth.
Lin Shirong, former chairman of the Taiwan Medical Association of Periodontology, was reminded by the media that controlling the amount of periodontal disease-causing bacteria and reducing inflammatory reactions is an important part of controlling many systemic diseases. Periodontal disease must not be ignored. Huge impact.
Habit 3 that increases cancer risk: Sleeping in a room that’s too bright!14% increased risk of breast cancer
Lighting is a necessity in daily life, but if you are not careful, it may increase the risk of cancer. Norihiro Sato shared that a Harvard University study found that women who live in areas with strong lighting at night may have a 14% increased risk of breast cancer. In addition, light can also have an impact on prostate cancer. Another study found that compared with people who sleep in dark bedrooms, people who sleep in bright bedrooms have a 2.8 times increased risk of prostate cancer.
Norihiro Sato analyzed that human beings are originally creatures that wake up with the sun and rest and go to bed when it gets dark. However, modern evenings are still full of various light sources, which will have a negative impact on the body’s internal balance, affect the balance of autonomic nerves and hormones, and Induce cancer. It is recommended that the public not only turn off the lights when sleeping at night, but also block the light outside the window through blackout curtains, and try not to use computers and mobile phones before going to bed to avoid blue light affecting sleep.
