Kapanlagi.com - Cancer is indeed a dangerous disease in the body, once affected by cancer it will be difficult to cure. That's why before it happens, we must prepare ourselves by maintaining our body's health to avoid cancer.

And one way to avoid it is by paying attention to the food we eat. It turns out that there are some foods to avoid, especially if consumed regularly or excessively.

So what are those foods? According to various sources, here are 6 foods that trigger cancer that need to be reduced or even avoided. Let's check them out.

 

 

1. Processed Meat

The first cancer-triggering food is processed meat. Here, processed meat refers to all meats that have been processed with salt, preserved, smoked, or added with certain ingredients to enhance taste or meat durability.

According to a study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, processed meat can be a cancer trigger due to the presence of carcinogenic compounds in it. And it is these compounds that can lead to cancer, one of which is colorectal cancer.

2. Overcooked Food

The next cancer-triggering food is consuming overcooked food. Apparently, not all foods that are overcooked are safe, KLovers, because food cooked at high temperatures and overcooked can be harmful to the body.

This is because overcooked food can produce harmful compounds that contribute to inflammation and play a role in the development of cancer. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to which foods are dangerous when overcooked.

And these foods include meat, milk, cheese, eggs, butter, nuts, and many more. This is because all of these foods have high protein content. Foods with high protein content will produce harmful compounds if cooked at too high temperatures.

However, it is also not advisable to cook them half-cooked, KLovers. You can still cook meat, eggs, and nuts until they are fully cooked but not for too long. Also, pay attention to the heat to avoid it being too high.

3. Sugar

It turns out that sugar can also be a cancer-causing food, KLovers. If we consume too much food that contains high sugar, it can increase the risk of cancer.

There have been many studies stating that a diet that is high in sugar content can increase the risk of cancer, including stomach, breast, and colon cancer. That's why reducing the consumption of high sugar foods early on is the right thing to do.

4. Alcoholic Beverages

It is not unfamiliar that alcohol is one of the types of cancer-causing foods. This is because alcohol is a beverage that has carcinogenic properties. And it is these carcinogenic properties that are important in causing cancer in the body.

The more alcohol we consume, the higher the risk of getting cancer. And there are several parts of the body that can be affected by cancer, such as the head, throat, liver, breast, and colon.

5. Microwave Foods

The next cancer-causing food is food from the microwave. Yup! This electronic device that can be used to heat food is very dangerous for the body if done regularly. This is because the microwave is coated with chemicals that are useful for ensuring that the food remains fresh when eaten.

And these chemicals can cause infertility, liver cancer, testicular cancer, and pancreatic cancer. That's why you shouldn't consume food processed through the microwave too often.

6. Canned Foods

And the last cancer-causing food is canned food. It is no longer unfamiliar that canned food can trigger cancer in the body. This is because the coating used on canned food products usually contains the chemical bisphenol-A or BPA.

And this chemical is very toxic to the human body, as it will accelerate the growth of cancer cells in the body. Especially foods that contain high levels of acidity such as tomatoes, acidic fruits, and others. Because highly acidic foods can be very dangerous when used as canned food.

Those are 6 cancer-causing foods that you should reduce or even avoid for the sake of your body's health. You can switch to consuming healthy food or properly processed food. That way, your body will stay healthy and far from cancer.
