In Hong Kong, an international metropolis, young people are exposed to food from all over the world on social media every day, and take a group of friends or a family out for food on weekends. Hong Kong is the capital of gourmet food. We tend to choose the cha chaan teng downstairs from the office, or the fast food restaurant across the street to solve our three meals.
However, it is this common urban eating habit that has brought a variety of urban diseases to Hong Kong people, among them, chronic gastrointestinal discomfort, acid reflux, diarrhea and constipation, gastric polyps and colon polyp hyperplasia, It can even lead to cancer, making digestive tract cancers such as colon cancer the world's number one cancer killer.
In this article, we focus mainly on exploring the causes of gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia and how it leads to cancer of gastrointestinal polyps, thereby evolving into gastric cancer as well as colon cancer.
Causes of gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia:
1. High-fat, high-fat dietary habits:
Young people, especially college students and graduates who are just entering society, are faced with high-intensity academic and work pressure every day, as well as long working hours and short lunch work patterns Oily, high-fat fast food is the first choice. Over time, when the intestines are overloaded for a long time and fail to digest food effectively, there will be more toxins and harmful substances in the intestinal microbial environment than probiotics, thereby producing symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea, and even more, it may lead to the growth of intestinal polyps and carcinogenesis.
2. Long-term excessive smoking and alcohol habits:
U-Life, work dinners, friends parties, family gatherings are always indispensable for the presence of tobacco and alcohol, and excessive tobacco and alcohol are always "chronic suicide" for all ages Nicotine is the most harmful, a cigarette of nicotine is enough to poison a white mouse in the long run, the human body will gradually suffer from a variety of serious diseases, such as lung cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer resulting in deficiencies of various nutrients in the body. Because alcohol is one of the pure heat energy foods, itself does not carry any nutrients, and reduces the intake of other foods containing a variety of nutrients, such as minerals, proteins, vitamins in the long run, but decreased appetite, reduced food intake, and harms the intestines mucous membranes, seriously affecting the digestion and absorption of nutrients by the intestines Finally, intestinal polyps slowly grow in the intestines over time and may eventually deteriorate into gastrointestinal cancer.
3. Long-term staying up late habit:
Whether it's working overtime all night, writing or reveling all night, staying up late will always disrupt the rhythm of urban people's life, and getting up the next day is always a groggy state. This is a systemic injury caused by endocrine disorders caused by long-term staying up late and sleeping late, which includes digestive tract diseases such as indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulcers, constipation and diarrhea. Furthermore, lack of sleep increases the secretion of appetite-promoting hunger hormones and reduces the secretion of appetite-promoting leptin hormones, making many young people particularly like to eat high-sugar, high-fat and other high-calorie foods, and not easy to have a feeling of satiety. While significantly reducing the metabolism in the human body, it is easy to consume high-calorie foods without limit, increasing the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, thereby once again aggravating the intestinal problems caused by endocrine disorders, forming a vicious cycle. In the long run, gastrointestinal dysfunction promotes a surge in gastrointestinal polyps and raises the risk of their deterioration into cancer.
4. Prolonged fatigue or depression:
Whether they are urban people with severe psychological trauma or normal mental health, it is possible to experience long-term fatigue and depression that comes from known or unknown, always feeling a bulging stomach, "heart UpUp" feeling, this time Chances are, your gut has sounded a serious warning. Gastrointestinal polyps can hinder the normal digestive function of the intestines, resulting in the body needing to extract energy from other organs, including the brain, and inject more energy into the intestines for digestion. The source of energy for the human body is the intake of food, which will lead to us unconsciously eating a lot when dining in the future, "injecting" more "energy" into the body, and adding more digestive burden to our body, causing A vicious cycle. The harmful substances produced in the intestinal microbiota loaded with excessive food at this time provide a breeding ground for sinfulness for intestinal polyp hyperplasia.
In the next article, we will focus on exploring the main symptoms after the hyperplasia and formation of gastrointestinal polyps and how to "prevent the disease in the bud", do a good gastrointestinal care process, away from 99% of gastrointestinal cancer.
