What to eat to effectively prevent lymphoma

Lymphoma is no longer unfamiliar. Many celebrities have lost their lives to it. Everyone is equal in front of cancer. All we can do is to detect, prevent and treat it early to prevent the tumor from getting worse. What can you eat to effectively prevent lymphoma? Let me show you.

What to eat to prevent lymphoma?

The secret to preventing lymphoma is very simple, that is, eat alkaline foods regularly to prevent the accumulation of acidic waste. Studies have shown that lymphoma cannot form in a weakly alkaline human body. Adjusting the acid-base balance of body fluids is an effective way to prevent lymphoma.

The food we eat daily can be roughly divided into acidic food and alkaline food. From a nutritional point of view, the reasonable combination of acidic food and alkaline food is the guarantee of good health. The standard for classifying the acidity and alkalinity of food in nutrition is not based on the taste of the food, but on the acidity and alkalinity of the final metabolites of the food in the human body. Any final metabolite that is decomposed in the body is acidic is called acidic food, and vice versa.

Nutritionists believe that fish, meat, poultry, eggs, rice, flour, oil, sugar, etc. are acidic foods, while vegetables, fruits, soy products, milk, etc. are alkaline foods. Although vinegar is acidic, it does not produce acidic substances during human metabolism, but produces CO2 and H2O, so vinegar is also an alkaline food.

Although fruits contain various organic acids and taste sour, most of them are oxidized into alkaline foods after digestion. However, strawberries contain organic acids (benzoic acid and oxalic acid) that cannot be oxidized and metabolized, which will increase the acidity of body fluids and are acidic foods, which is an exception.

Generally speaking, alkaline foods are as follows: Alkaline foods are mainly divided into: 1. Vegetables and fruits; 2. Seaweed; 3. Nuts; 4. Sprouted grains and beans.

1. Strong alkaline foods include: grapes, tea, mushrooms, wine, kelp, citrus fruits, persimmons, cucumbers, carrots, and white radishes.

2. Moderately alkaline foods include: soybeans, tomatoes, bananas, strawberries, egg whites, dried plums, lemons, spinach, and burdock.

3. Weakly alkaline foods include: red beans, apples, cabbage, tofu, cabbage, rapeseed, pears, and potatoes.

However, eating more alkaline foods does not mean not eating acidic foods. Too much acid or too much alkaline food will cause illness. Let me reiterate: adjusting the acid-base balance of body fluids is an effective way to prevent lymphoma.

Too much acid or too much alkalinity will cause illness

Regarding the view that "eating more alkaline foods will prevent cancer", this statement has some truth, but it is not completely scientific and cannot represent the situation of all patients. Alkaline foods are mostly vegetables and fruits. According to this view, if you eat vegetarian food for a long time, you will not get cancer? Obviously, this is not the case.

There is a popular saying in the oncology department: poor people get stomach cancer, rich people get colon cancer. This means that poor people in the past ate crude fiber food for a long time, which caused the stomach to wear out and get diseases; rich people ate a lot of fish and meat for a long time, which made the intestines unable to bear it and worsened to get colon cancer. This is just a simple analogy. In fact, there are many causes of cancer, and what you eat is not the key to whether you will get sick or not.

Therefore, it is not correct to advocate eating only one type of acidic food or alkaline food, as both are prone to diseases, including cancer. It can only be said that this view has a certain meaning in the current society, because people generally eat a lot of high-fat foods and ignore eating vegetables and fruits.

A balanced diet can fight disease

As for what to eat, you don't need to focus on alkaline foods. It is recommended that you follow the "Dietary Balance Pyramid" to achieve a balanced diet with a combination of meat and vegetables. At the same time, you should exercise more. If your body's nutrition is up, your resistance will also be enhanced. This is a good way to truly resist all diseases.

In short, the so-called "food acid-base balance theory" has no scientific basis. So, how should consumers choose food? The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" gives a clear answer, namely "diversified food, mainly cereals, coarse and fine combinations", "dairy, soy or their products every day", "regularly eat appropriate amounts of fish, poultry, eggs and lean meat", etc. These are dietary measures proposed to improve the nutritional status of Chinese residents based on the research results of nutrition in recent years.

According to the "food acid-base balance theory", classifying foods such as fish, poultry, eggs and lean meat as "acidic foods" will mislead people in their food choices.
