Seeking comprehensive knowledge of cancer prevention in traditional Chinese medicine, I heard that it was available at the fourth doctor-patient conference.

1) eggplant: "Frosted eggplant" is a good medicine.

In many prescriptions and remedies of traditional Chinese medicine, "autumn old eggplant" and "frost eggplant" are often used. More and more evidence shows that eggplant has anti-cancer function. There have been experiments to extract a non-toxic substance from eggplant for the treatment of gastric cancer and cervical cancer, and good results have been obtained. In addition, eggplant contains solanine, cucurbitacin, stachydrine, choline, perilla glycoside, eggplant glycoside and other alkaloids, among which solanine and cucurbitacin have been proved to have anti-cancer ability, and eggplant flower, eggplant pedicle, eggplant root and tomato juice are all good medicines. In ancient times, there were records of eggplant root treating tumors.

Eggplant is also rich in nutrition. Except vitamins A and C, other vitamins and minerals are almost the same as tomatoes, while protein and calcium are even three times higher than tomatoes.

2) Bitter gourd: Li Shizhen called it "first-class melon".

The people's treatment of bitter gourd is seriously polarized. Many people are "good" to it, and some people stay away from it. But what really gave it a "good status" was Li Shizhen, a great doctor of the Ming Dynasty. He called it "first-class melon", which is a rare anti-cancer melon.

Western medicine has proved that the anticancer effect of bitter gourd comes from a quinine-like protein. This protein is an active protein, which can activate immune cells and kill cancer cells or other abnormal cells through immune cells as "setters". Bitter gourd seeds contain a protease inhibitor, which can inhibit the secretion of protease by tumor cells, thus inhibiting the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells.

3) Kelp: It can prevent breast cancer and thyroid tumor.

Kelp is named "Kelp" in Chinese medicine, which can prevent breast cancer and thyroid tumor. Kelp is rich in iodine, which is well known to women and children in China, and can prevent "big neck" disease. In fact, kelp has many other "skills". The sodium alginate contained in it has strong binding ability with strontium and cadmium with carcinogenic effect, and it is excreted; Kelp can selectively kill or inhibit bacteria that can produce carcinogens in the intestine, and the fiber it contains can also promote the discharge of bile acids and cholesterol; Kelp extract has a direct inhibitory effect on a variety of cancer cells.

4) Sweet potato: an anti-cancer product that is gradually forgotten.

When I was a child, holding a delicious baked sweet potato to warm my hands to relieve my hunger has faded out of the memory of many young people. Now there are almost no traces of baked sweet potato stalls that used to walk around the streets. With the improvement of economic conditions, some surveys show that many urban residents in China no longer eat sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato: Alias sweet potato, sweet potato and sweet potato, it is considered as an excellent food for eliminating diseases, prolonging life, losing weight and protecting health. In fact, sweet potatoes also have powerful anti-cancer functions. Recently, scientists found a dehydroepiandrosterone in sweet potato, which can prevent the occurrence of intestinal cancer and breast cancer.

5) Pumpkin: It is called "God Melon"

In some countries, it is called "God Melon" because it can be used as food and vegetables. Americans eat pumpkins on Thanksgiving Day to show their gratitude. However, in China, it is rarely planted now.

Pumpkin can prevent obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol, and has a good effect on cancer prevention. The content of vitamin A in pumpkin is unimaginable. In addition, it is rich in vitamin C, calcium and cellulose, and also contains unknown components that inhibit the carcinogen tryptophan-P.

6) Wheat bran: the best dietary fiber to prevent cancer.

Alias bran, the seed coat taken off when wheat is ground, used as feed and inedible. Feeding animals with wheat bran has rosy skin and shiny hair, which is extremely healthy. Now people pay more and more attention to wheat bran. For the sake of health, many western institutions call on people to eat whole grains and whole grains. Whole wheat food is a kind of food made by grinding whole wheat into flour cubes and then separating wheat bran.

Wheat bran is the "warehouse" of wheat's main nutrients, and almost all minerals such as B vitamins, selenium and magnesium, cellulose are concentrated on it. Can be used for preventing and treating colorectal cancer, diabetes complicated with hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, constipation, hemorrhoid, etc. Therefore, many experts believe that wheat bran is the best anti-cancer food fiber.

7) Radish: the "health protector" in root vegetables.

Radish, also known as radish, has many varieties and is an expert in anti-cancer. The Dutch regard carrots as "national dishes", while Japan and the United States regard them as "health gods" in root dishes.
