Chinese medicine to prevent cancer, good lifestyle habits first “eat”

Cancer has been among the top 10 causes of death in Taiwan for 30 years, and it has been called the “Modern Black Death”. In order to “prevent cancer”, food, clothing, housing, and other health-related foods and products have been created in response. However, many experts and scholars are not convinced of the effectiveness of the products on the market that claim to be effective in eliminating cancer. Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee says that prevention is better than cure and if people can start with good lifestyle habits, it is believed that they can stay away from diseases and cancers and maintain a healthy body easily.

In terms of Chinese medicine theory, tumors are treated as two separate systems, with ” swelling” being yang and ” tumor” being yin. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, the director of Sheng-Pu Chinese Medicine Clinic, explained that yang tumors occur in the yang meridian of the human body and have symptoms such as inflammation, swelling and purulence, and in severe cases, they may even have chills and fever; on the other hand, yin tumors are mostly hard, less painful, inflammatory and purulent, and are more likely to turn into cancer and spread quickly, but they are slower to develop than yang tumors.

Chinese medicine believes that as long as the body’s nutrient chemistry works properly and does not present a ” Yin physique “, it is less likely to develop disease and cancer, and the body will be healthy and strong. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, who has more than 40 years of experience in treating cancer, pointed out that cancer is closely related to poor metabolism and detoxification functions in the body. In Chinese medicine, in addition to receiving the right medicine and step-by-step treatment from professional doctors, people also need to have good lifestyle habits to truly fight or prevent cancer.

In order to avoid “disease from the mouth”, in the development of good habits, must be the first emphasis on “eat”. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that because the existence of good bacteria and enzymes in the stomach and intestines is the foundation of health, if people often uneven nutrition (partial food), overeating, and even addicted to fried, sweet, cold food, etc., to promote the gastrointestinal fermentation environment is poor, the body can not fully normal operation of nutrient metabolism, toxins are easy to accumulate in the body, and hoard fat, resulting in obesity, and will also change into a ” Yin physique “, in the long run may Become the root cause of cancer.

In fact, people who have cold hands and feet all year round and are easily afraid of cold do not belong to the “Yin physique”. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee mentioned that people with yin physique generally do not have a high body temperature, but they are “afraid of heat” and their bodies are stuffy, and as soon as they start exercising, their bodies become extremely hot. According to outpatient experience, people with yin physique often accumulate too much fat, are obese, and have allergies. If you want to change your physique, you should have a balanced diet, avoid cold food, and develop good exercise and sleep habits.

Modern medical science has advanced, the treatment of cancer can choose “Chinese and Western”, to give full play to the respective strengths of Chinese medicine and Western medicine to treat, people should take care of their own health before the onset of disease or cancer. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded that the fight against or prevention of cancer can start from the body’s nutritional chemistry, so that the body’s immune system can function properly, in addition, the diet should be strictly controlled temperature, should not be too cold, so that disease and cancer can not easily find you.
