[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] 40-year-old Ms. Lin pays attention to health and does not smoke or drink. She regularly drinks a large glass of freshly squeezed juice for breakfast. Unexpectedly, her health checkup revealed severe chronic inflammation and even pre-cancerous lesions. A 28-year-old technology engineer usually eats high-protein energy bars and supermarket healthy meals to satisfy her hunger. As a result, her gastrointestinal function deteriorated and she suffered from chronic flatulence. Liao Jiding, a hematology oncologist at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, reminds us to avoid "fake health" concepts, including drinking freshly squeezed juice every day, over-reliance on convenient ultra-processed light meals, and blindly not eating meat but suffering from nutritional imbalances, which may cause health problems.
Many people who think they are keeping in good health actually cause chronic inflammation of the body due to wrong eating habits. Liao Jiding made a video on YouTube as "The Supernatural Dr. Liao" and shared it. Many people live a life that they consider "clean" and do not smoke or drink. However, during health check-ups, they find that their bodies are chronically inflamed and even have precancerous lesions. This is not because of genetics or bad luck, but because people have directed their efforts in the wrong direction, destroying immunity. He bluntly said that the most dangerous things are often not the junk food that everyone knows, but the following three categories of traps:
Trap 1: Freshly squeezed pure juice
40-year-old Ms. Lin does not smoke or drink. She has the habit of running every day. She always drinks a large glass of freshly squeezed apple juice for breakfast. She believes that she lives a healthier life than most people. Unexpectedly, a medical examination revealed severe chronic inflammation in her body and even pre-cancerous lesions.
Liao Jiding said that the key is that "juice is not the same as fruit." After the juice is made into juice and the pomace is filtered out, the protection of dietary fiber is lost, and the sugar is absorbed quickly, which can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations and chronic inflammation in the long term. Therefore, it is recommended to eat the whole fruit directly instead of replacing it with juice.
Cancer prevention instructions: It is best to eat fruits and do not "drink" fruits. To get the nutrition of the fruit, bite it whole and swallow it.
Trap 2: Refined, ultra-processed foods
The 28-year-old technology engineer tried his best to control his diet because he was afraid of getting sick: he had a high-protein energy bar for breakfast, a low-fat chicken breast bento from the supermarket for lunch, and a healthy high-fiber biscuit when he was hungry in the afternoon. He once proudly said that he rarely ate junk food. However, upon examination, he found that his stomach had been bloated for years, his bowel movements were not smooth, and his body was in chronic inflammation.
Liao Jiding said that these seemingly healthy light snacks are actually "ultra-processed foods." The emulsifiers, preservatives and artificial flavors inside are like a brick being secretly removed from the intestinal wall every day. Demolishing one piece a day may seem innocuous, but when the city wall collapses in 10 years, the immune police will be completely lost.
Cancer prevention instruction: Before purchasing, read the ingredient list on the back. If there are so many chemical terms that it looks like a chemistry handout, please put it back silently. Real food doesn’t need much explanation, sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes and eggs are eggs.
Trap 3: Blindly not eating meat
The Internet is full of claims that red meat causes cancer. In order to prevent cancer, an old man did not touch meat for three years and blanched vegetables and rice with tofu every day. Three years later, Lao Wang returned to the clinic. He had lost weight, his face was blue, his pants were obviously loose, and he even needed help when walking. An examination revealed severe sarcopenia and malnutrition. The body has no materials and cannot repair itself.
Liao Jiding said that medical research has found that eating red meat alone will indeed increase the body's injury signals, but the key lies in the combination. As long as you eat meat with two more servings of vegetables or mushrooms, the inflammation signal will return to normal.
Anti-cancer directive: The really scary thing is not the steak, but the French fries and Coke on the side. Please remember three principles when eating meat: half of your plate must be vegetables, eat less processed meats such as ham and sausages, and avoid burnt parts.
Liao Jiding concluded that cancer does not occur suddenly, but is the result of long-term accumulation of daily diet and living habits. Instead of following popular health regimens, it is better to choose natural foods, a balanced diet, and a regular schedule to truly reduce the risk of chronic inflammation and cancer.
