There has always been a discussion about the higher cancer rate in China than Japan. It is undeniable that the rising trend of cancer rate in China has aroused widespread concern. However, why is the cancer rate in China higher than Japan?

01

The reasons for the high cancer rate in China

First of all, the environmental factor is the environmental factor in China.

A large amount of air pollutants and toxic and harmful substances are suspended in the air. Long-term inhalation of these pollutants will increase the risk of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases.

Water pollution makes a large number of people drink heavily polluted water for a long time, leading to an increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases and various cancers. In addition, soil pollution also has certain risks. After agricultural products such as vegetables and grains are polluted, people eat them. Entering the body increases the risk of cancer.

Secondly, eating habits

Secondly, eating habits are also one of the important reasons for the high cancer rate in China. The food culture in China is different from that in Japan. Chinese people generally like high-fat, high-salt and refined processed foods, while Japanese people prefer Low-salt, low-fat, fresh ingredients.

Eating habits high in salt and oil can easily lead to diseases such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and these health problems are closely related to cancer.

In addition, Chinese people often eat chili, barbecue and other foods that are prone to carcinogens, which increases the risk of cancer.

Why is the cancer rate in China higher than in Japan? 2 things the Japanese never touch, but the Chinese prefer

1. Cigarettes

Smoking is harmful to health. This is a well-known truth. Cigarettes contain a lot of harmful substances such as nicotine and tar. Stimulates the lungs and bronchi, increases the risk of lung cancer and poses a threat to personal health.

In contrast, Japan is a completely non-smoking country. Although the sale of cigarettes in stores is not prohibited, the price is higher. Because the Japanese are not well-off, they don't have too much money to buy cigarettes, so the number of smokers is less, which reduces the risk of lung cancer to a certain extent.

In addition, Japan also has strict requirements on smoking. You can only smoke in designated smoking areas. If you smoke in non-smoking areas, you will face high fines. Therefore, people gradually quit smoking, reduce the intake of harmful substances, and protect personal health , which is beneficial to prolong life.

Second, seasonings

We often use seasonings in cooking, they can make food more delicious. However, a large intake of these seasonings will have a greater impact on health, easily increase the burden on the body, cause damage to various organs, and increase the risk of cancer.

In Japan, in order to pursue the original taste of food, people choose a light diet and rarely use seasoning.Most of them cook mainly, and rarely eat fried food. This diet can help maintain a healthy gut, reduce your intake of fatty foods, and reduce your risk of cancer.

Therefore, foods such as seasonings are rarely touched by Japanese people, but they are more popular for domestic people, which is also an important reason for the increased risk of cancer.
