The current living conditions are better, but why do we always feel that young people's bodies are not as good as the previous generation?Some studies have found that the previous generation we may have an advantage in anti -aging and anti -cancer!
In August24, The Lancet Public Health magazine published a study by the American Cancer Association, after analyzing the data of more than 23 million cancer patients and more than 7.3 million deaths fromCancer, it is found that among 34 types of cancer, the incidence of 17 types of cancer soared among young people, the incidence of intestinal cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, endothelial cancerThe uterus and other cancers increase 2-3 times.
Data analysis shows that among the 34 types of cancer, the incidence of 11 types in general increases every year and the younger the population, the higher the incidence.Compared to those born in 1955, people born in 1990 have the incidence of cancers such as small intestine cancer, thyroid cancer, kidney cancer, pelvic cancer and pancreatic cancer high.2-3 times.
In addition, 10 out of 17 cancer with increasing rates are cancers related to obesity, highlighting the role of obesity in increasing the rate of cancer.
Not only that, compared to the previous generation, young people are at risk of aging faster!In April 2024, a study published at the annual meeting of the American Cancer Research Association (AACR) showed that young people can aging faster and rapid aging are related to the fact thatIncreased risk of cancer.Compared to those born from 1950 to 1954, those born from 1965 onwards have a higher risk of aging quickly 17%.
The study has checked the medical records of more than 140,000 participants, from 37 to 54 years old and used 9 blood signs to calculate biological age.People with higher age than real age are determined to have fast aging speed.
The researchers said: "Unlike the real age, the age of physiology can be affected by factors such as diet, physical activity, mental health and environmental stress."
Having health does not mean that there is everything, but no health is nothing.Although today's living conditions have been improved, many young people still have an unhealthy lifestyle, such as enjoying bold eating (lots of sugar, salt, grease), drinking milk tea, soft drinks instead of water, day, dayEvery night, do not want to go out to exercise, sit for a long time to play games and watch videos ...
The advantage helps the previous generation healthier than young people
In the previous generations, most people do not have the above bad habits of young people, thus helping them to be able to fight aging and reduce the risk of cancer better.Specifically, the previous generation possesses great advantages in maintaining health thanks to them with good habits below:
1. Eat healthy and drink
A diet high in oil, salt and sugar for a long time not only leads to obesity but also increases the risk of cancer.A healthy diet should follow the principles:
- Enhance raw grains and reduce rice and refined noodles;
- Should use vegetable oil to cook at low temperatures;
- Enhance white meat, reduce red meat and encourage the use of soy products;
- As many vegetables as possible, ensuring the appropriate amount of fruit;
- Should use appropriate amounts of seeds and milk;
- Methods of steaming, boiling and washing are recommended.
2. Get enough sleep
Ensuring adequate sleep is very important to slow down the aging process and prevent cancer.In March 2024, a study of sleep in the journal Scientific Reports showed 7 hours of sleep that extended the longevity and too long sleeping time will promote the body's biological aging process.
In addition, going to bed early is also important.In 2021, researchers from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom published a study in the journal Digital Health Magazine of the European Cardiology Magazine and found that people who slept from 22:00 to 23:00 at night is at the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease and those who sleep at midnight or later have the highest incidence.
3. Regular exercise
Exercise regularly is good for health.It is best to practice Aerobic 3-5 times a week, more than 30 minutes each time.In April 2024, a study published in the Journal of diabetes care by researchers at the University of Sydney showed that exercise after 18 o'clock every night brings the greatest health benefits and minimizing.The risk of cardiovascular disease as well as death due to all causes.
You can also use a simple judgment method: If you gasp when you are panting and can be said normally but cannot sing, that means the intensity of the exercise now is moderately moderate.;If you stop to breathe after saying a few words during exercise, that is, you are at this time the intensity of exercise is high.
4. Stay away from tobacco and alcohol
Tobacco and alcohol are closely related to rapid aging and cancer.A study published online in the Journal of American Medical Association in 2022 confirmed the benefits of early smoking: quitting smoking before the age of 35 can completely "reverse" the risk of death due to deathTobacco causes.Among them, the mortality rate for all causes in smokers is 2.8 times higher than that of never smoking and the mortality rate in the drug -quitting person is significantly lower than that of the mortality rate inHe continues to smoke.The younger you stop smoking, the greater your health benefits.
A 2023 study published in Nature Medicine magazine shows that men who drink alcohol will increase the risk of 61 diseases.28 of the 61 diseases has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a clear relationship with alcohol consumption, such as liver/cirrhosis due to alcohol, some digestive system cancers (cancer.liver mail, esophageal cancer ...), diabetes and hypertension.
5. Periodic health examination
In fact, many diseases can be effectively cured if detected early, including many cancers.Even for incurable diseases, early detection can extend life and improve the quality of life through doctor's diagnosis and treatment.Therefore, regular health checks are very important to early detection of physical and timely physical problems.
6. Good psychology
The psychology of a person is very important, when the mood is comfortable, you will eat well, sleep well, be ready to exercise and full of energy, you will look young and healthy.A study published in Agring magazine in 2022 showed negative emotions such as loneliness, fear, depression that accelerated the significant aging process and could increase the physiological age for nearly 20 months,This is more harmful than smoking.
