Experts recommend an anti-cancer healthy diet that is primarily plant-based and supplemented with animal-based foods, including 300 grams of grains daily (one-third of which should be legumes and one-third flour products); 500 grams of vegetables, of which 300 grams must be green leafy vegetables; 200 grams of animal-based foods, such as fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat; 250 grams of milk; and 50 grams of soy products.
In addition, dietary therapy can be used to appropriately supplement antioxidant nutrients, such as VC and carotene. Eating more seeds, nuts, and other foods rich in VE and plant active substances, as well as tea containing polyphenols, and hawthorn, wolfberry, ginkgo, soybeans, and lingzhi mushrooms, can enhance immunity and prevent cancer.
Pickled foods: Nitrite dimethylamine produced from salted fish can be converted into the carcinogen dimethyl nitrosamine in the body. Salted eggs and pickled vegetables also contain carcinogens and should be eaten as little as possible.
Grilled foods: Grilled beef, roasted duck, grilled lamb, roasted goose, suckling pig, and lamb skewers contain strong carcinogens and should not be consumed in excess.
Smoked foods: Such as smoked meat, smoked liver, smoked fish, smoked eggs, and smoked tofu contain the carcinogen benzopyrene. Frequent consumption can easily lead to esophageal and stomach cancer.
Overnight cooked cabbage and pickled cabbage: They produce nitrites, which are converted into the carcinogen nitrosamine in the body.
