Good Lifestyle

Only the word cancer itself can cause horror in many people. This serious disease has countless different types and, of course, a number of different causes. The outbreak of the disease can cause a wide range of factors and a family history and genes in general also play a significant influence. However, scientists now confirm with certainty that a great culprit is a lifestyle and that each of us has the power to influence our health to some extent.

The basis of a healthy lifestyle, over which we have control of a little discipline is a diet. The fact that we eat has a direct effect on our health is confirmed by extensive research from recent years, which have even shown that certain types of food and beverages are directly related to the higher risk of developing different types of cancer. Which five foods and beverages can increase the risk of outbreak of this insidious and often fatal disease?

Sausages

Sausages, ie industrially processed meat, are very popular in the Czech Republic and many people cannot imagine a day without them. However, experts unanimously advise not to overdo it. Processed meat, whether it be salami, sausages, sausages or other delicacies, contains a lot of salts and preservatives. Moreover, the methods used in meat processing can even contribute to the formation of carcinogenic substances. The harmfulness of sausages is confirmed by more and more professional studies and are most often associated with rectal, stomach and colon cancer.

Red meat

Industrially processed meat is certainly not unhealthy, specifically the least healthy species is the meat red, ie still widely popular pork, beef or various types of game. Again, these types of meat are most often associated with cancer of the colon and rectum. Of course, it is not necessary to eliminate red meat from your diet, but we should only consume it sparingly. On the other hand, poultry, fish or seafood should be more often represented in our diet. Alternatives with a high protein content are also the plant, such as legumes or nuts.

Fried food

The vast majority of people probably know that fried food is definitely not a healthy diet. Yet we consume it every day. In addition to being very fat, fried food can also have a bad effect on our health and participate in cancer. Fried fries, croquettes or even popular fried cheese can contain carcinogenic substances, mainly due to frying at high temperatures. In addition to obesity, there are more serious problems in regular consumption than the fault of the trouser tape. Therefore, we should only enjoy fried dishes exceptionally, certainly not regularly. If you already have a fried insurmountable taste for something, prepare at least a food at home, where you can be sure that it will not be fried on an old, burnt oil.

Alcohol

However, not only food can increase the risk of cancer. Drinks are also a problem, which are clearly dominated by alcohol. It not only is one of the dangerous addictive drugs, but also when taking any kind of alcohol, its decomposition in the liver creates a carcinogenic compound. According to scientific studies, this compound greatly weakens the immune system, which subsequently loses the ability to suppress the development of cancer cells. According to a 2015 study, alcohol in women is demonstrably increasing estrogen levels and is also related to the risk of breast cancer. Despite all available information, however, even in our country, excessive alcohol use is often tolerated.

Sweete

The great health risk is also a widely promoted and offered sweetened soft drinks, which, in addition to a large amount of added sugar, often contain dubious artificial sweeteners. Excessive drinking of sweetened beverages can easily lead to overweight or obesity. Obeling person often has a weaker immune system, less resistant to fighting cancerous growth, so the consequences of consuming sweetened beverages are often not only a cosmetic but above all a health problem. Even with sweetened beverages, the same rule applies as other "problem" foods - everything in moderation. The basis of the drinking regime should definitely be pure water and sweetened drinks should serve as a variegation or replenish of energy in the form of fast sugars.
