Chinese experts point out 6 habits that ‘feed’ cancer cells

Cancer never appears overnight, but is the result of an accumulation process from lifestyle habits that last for many years.

Recently, nutrition expert San San (Taiwan, China) – who has reviewed and analyzed more than 5,000 periodic health examination reports – pointed out 6 high-risk behaviors in daily life on his personal page. She emphasized that these seemingly harmless habits are actually continuously creating an ideal living environment for cancer cells to grow in the body.

Eat 5-6 meals a day, milk tea and snacks that “don’t leave your hands”

In the list given by expert San San, eating habits account for a very large proportion. She especially noted that the lifestyle of eating 5-6 meals a day, combined with drinking milk tea and eating snacks continuously, will cause the body to maintain a high blood sugar state for a long time. Meanwhile, glucose is the main “fuel” that fuels cancer cells.

Experts share that this is the factor she considers to be the most dangerous but the most easily overlooked. Many people mistakenly believe that dividing meals into smaller meals (eating less into many meals) is beneficial to health, without realizing that consuming refined sugar with high frequency means continuously providing energy to cancer cells.

Eat the charred grilled meat

Eating and drinking grilled foods is also on the warning list. Ms. San San explained that when meat is grilled to the point of being charred black, it will produce group 1 carcinogens, directly causing damage to DNA. People who like to eat grilled food need to be especially careful and restrained.

Heating food in substandard plastic containers

In addition, using substandard plastic containers to microwave is also a dangerous practice that she warned about. Poor quality plastic under high temperature will release plasticizers (phthalates). This environmental hormone has the ability to disrupt the endocrine system, which in turn can stimulate abnormal cell proliferation.

Drink bottled water that has been left in a car exposed to the sun for a long time

Drinking plastic bottled water that has been left out for a long time in a car exposed to the suffocating sun is another common habit but is easily overlooked. Experts explain that plastic bottles in high temperature environments will release microplastic particles and toxic chemicals. Loading these substances into the body for a long time not only increases the burden on the liver and kidneys, but also has the risk of triggering chronic inflammatory reactions.

Stay up late

From the perspective of living and rest, Ms. San San cited the opinion of the World Health Organization (WHO) saying that staying up late has been classified as a factor that causes cancer. The key is that prolonged lack of sleep will destroy the body’s self-repair mechanism for cells at night, not simply a concern about electronic radiation as many people think.

Ignore the body’s long-term chronic inflammation

The expert also made a call: If the health check results show many abnormal indicators but are not treated with care, it shows that the body may be in a state of long-term chronic inflammation. Notably, chronic inflammation is one of the important causes leading to the formation of cancer.

Nutrition expert San San recommends that if you find yourself having the habits listed in the above 6 things, you should quickly start adjusting your diet and daily lifestyle from today.
