Stomach cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and men are more susceptible to this cancer than women. Experts point out that digestive system ailments, such as stomach cancer, gastritis, stomach ulcers, and intestinal cancer, are mainly caused by consuming too many animal-based foods and processed foods (so-called "processed foods" are those from which fiber, minerals, and vitamins have been removed, such as white sugar, white rice, and white bread).
Carnivores generally require more gastric acid to digest the meat they consume, and their intestines are also shorter, allowing them to rapidly expel decaying meat from their bodies. Many people, like carnivores, love to eat meat, but because humans lack the innate functions of carnivores—our gastric acid is only half as acidic as theirs, so we cannot quickly digest meat; our intestines are also much longer than those of carnivores, making it impossible to rapidly expel decaying meat.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult to understand that the human digestive system is actually closer to that of herbivores and is more suited to digesting high-fiber foods.
Therefore, experts believe that the first principle of health is to eat more high-fiber plant-based foods, that is, a vegetarian diet.
If you cannot give up meat, your diet should be light, and the variety of foods per meal should not be too great. Eating too many different types of food is a burden on the stomach and the entire digestive system. For example, digesting carbohydrates and protein foods requires different digestive juices; if consumed at the same time, neither can be fully digested, which can lead to overburdening the stomach's function.
Undigested food is also prone to accumulate and decay in the intestines, creating an environment for harmful bacteria to grow, which is one of the causes of cancer.
Therefore, the best method is to not eat high-protein foods and carbohydrates at the same time; for example, meat should not be eaten together with rice or bread.
Vegetables can be paired with carbohydrates or legumes, but fruits are best eaten alone.
If you follow these principles, you will not place too much burden on your stomach, leading to indigestion and, ultimately, various digestive system diseases.
It is best to eat some fresh, uncooked fruits, vegetables, and sprouts with each meal. Their vitamins are helpful in preventing stomach cancer.
