According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s “2022 National Cause of Death Statistics”, lung cancer has ranked first among the top 10 causes of cancer death for 19 consecutive years; at the same time, the number of lung cancer incidence is also ranked second among the top 10 cancers among Chinese people, second only to colorectal cancer. How to prevent it is very difficult important. Nutritionist Chen Yiting pointed out that to strengthen lung health and prevent lung cancer, the diet can be supplemented with vitamins A, C, D, E and phytochemicals, and smoked and barbecued foods should be avoided.
Dietitian Chen Yiting posted a post on the Facebook fan page “Chen Yiting Cynthia Dietitian”, sharing health education knowledge about lung health care. She said that in order to strengthen lung health and prevent lung cancer, in addition to quitting smoking, avoiding second-hand smoke, avoiding excessive oil fume, and regular health checkups, eating habits are also very important. She suggested that on the basis of a balanced diet, 5 more nutrients can be supplemented, and smoked, grilled foods and reduced intake of saturated fatty acids can be avoided:
1. Vitamin A: It helps to repair respiratory mucosal damage. It can be taken from dairy products, vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, tomatoes, red broccoli, red amaranth, spinach and coriander, etc., are good choices.
2. Vitamin C: Supports epithelial cell barrier function, promotes collagen growth, and resists oxidation. Food sources include guava, kiwi, citrus, red and yellow bell peppers, etc.
3. Vitamin D: Improve immunity. Most immune cells have vitamin D receptors. Can be ingested from sun exposure, fatty fish, mushrooms, etc. Fatty fish is rich in Omega-3 fish, such as salmon, mackerel, saury, sardines and herring.
4. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an extremely important antioxidant vitamin for the human body, helping to scavenge free radicals. It can be ingested from nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.; vegetable oils, such as safflower oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, etc.
5. Phytochemicals: By ingesting fruits and vegetables of various colors, different phytochemicals can be obtained, which can help improve body protection. Such as β-carotene and lycopene, the former can be ingested from carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, etc. β-carotene will also be metabolized into vitamin A in the human liver to protect mucous membranes; the latter can be obtained from tomatoes, red guava, watermelon, etc. , persimmon, purple cabbage and other intake.
In addition, Chen Yiting reminded that smoked and grilled foods may increase the risk of cancer because they contain more carcinogens “polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons”; saturated fatty acids are risk factors for many cancers, such as fried foods, fatty meat, animal skins, pastries The ratio of other foods is relatively high, and it is recommended to touch less of the above two.
Regular low-dose lung computed tomography (LDCT) testing is key to avoiding the health impact of lung cancer. In fact, the National Health Service has provided free LDCT screening for high-risk groups of lung cancer since July 1, 111, as long as they are males aged 50-74 or females aged 45-74 with a family history of lung cancer, and parents, children or siblings People who have been diagnosed with lung cancer, or those aged between 50 and 74 who have a smoking history of more than 30 packs a year, who are willing to quit smoking or quit smoking within 15 years of heavy smoking, can go to the lung cancer screening approved by the National Health Department. The inspection hospital accepts free LDCT screening once every 2 years.
