There are many potential causes to increase the risk of cancer.In particular, external factors (lifestyle, diet, ...) that you can control are common causes of cancer.In fact, research shows that 80 to 90% of malignant tumors are related to external factors.
Regarding diet, what you put into the body directly affects the overall health.The fact that you eat unhealthy, especially consuming these 4 foods regularly, can increase the risk of cancer.
1. Salt vegetables
Salt vegetables are a popular dish in Vietnamese rice tray and also have certain health benefits such as good for intestinal health, diabetes control, weight loss support.
However, people who eat pickles 4 days or more each week have the risk of death from gastrointestinal cancer increased by 13% and the risk of death from esophageal cancer increased by 45%.
Stomach cancer is closely related to the habit of eating sour salt.Sour foods are high in nitrite, if used for a long time, it will irritate the stomach lining, cause dysfunction, congestion, edema, erosion and increase the risk of stomach mucosa.
In addition to cancer, eating sour vegetables regularly can also cause many other health problems such as high blood pressure, affecting the liver or kidney, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

2. Overnight leftovers
To save food, many people often put leftovers in the refrigerator and continue to eat in the next meal.However, many gastroentricians have warned that if they occasionally eat leftovers, there is generally no problem.But if you have a habit of eating leftovers regularly, it will increase the risk of cancer.
Food left overnight and moldy food for a long time can lead to excessive absorption of nitrite, which can cause gastrointestinal cancer.
Good news is the shorter storage of leftovers or food, the shorter the nitrite content may not exceed the safety limit, but the longer the storage time, the longer the heating time, the nitrite contentwill increase.
Moreover, if you preserve leftovers in boxes or discs made from poor quality materials, contains many heavy metals, when exposed to alkali, salt and acids will dissolve heavy iron, chromium metals, chrome., nickel, manganese and other substances.These excess metals will be harmful to health.
Therefore, you should consider cooking just enough to eat all during the day, limiting food to overnight.If you have too much food, you should store them in lobes or ceramic boxes of high quality.
3. The food is too hot
Eating too hot foods or drinks for a long time can cause oral and esophageal mucosa, more dangerous can cause esophageal cancer.
When you consume hot foods and drinks, this can destroy the inner mucosa of the esophagus, requiring cells to constantly regenerate.In this process, it is more likely that the incident occurs and turns normal cells into cancer cells.
It is better to eat food or drinks at a warm heat level, from 50-60 degrees C.

4. Stir -fried vegetables when the oil is smoky
Many people when cooking often wait for hot and smoke oil to add vegetables because they think that it will create a more delicious dish.
However, in reality, when foods high in starches encounter high temperatures, it is easy to produce acrylamide - this is a 2A cancer.In addition, when the oil is heated to the point where the smoke can also produce respiratory, eye and skin irritants, and if long -term exposure can adversely affect the lungs and heart.
You should stir fry vegetables right from the time the oil is not hot and always turn on the hood to avoid breathing in this oil.
