Seven types of foods that patients with colorectal cancer should avoid.

  Seven types of foods that patients with colorectal cancer should avoid. According to the 2007 Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) 298(7):754).  "Conclusions: Higher intake of a Western dietary pattern may be associated with a higher risk of recurrence and mortality among patients with stage III colon cancer treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Further studies are needed to delineate which components of such a diet show the strongest association." The early treatment rate of colorectal cancer is very high. If it does not recur within 5 years, it means that the cancer has a chance to be cured. Therefore, patients with colorectal cancer should pay more attention to their daily diet to avoid deterioration of the disease. Seven types of foods to avoid: 1. High-sugar foods: Desserts and sugary drinks will increase the risk of intestinal inflammation. It is recommended to drink more boiled water instead of sugary drinks and eat less desserts. 2. Fried food: H...

New study: Antihypertensive drugs will not increase the risk of COVID-19 infection

A new study provides reliable evidence for global hypertension patients. Some experts worry that treatment of hypertension drugs may increase the risk of COVID-19, but it will not happen in fact.

The research team of the New York University School of Medicine analyzed 12,594 people who were screened for COVID-19; 5,894 (46.8%) of them tested positive, and of the 4,357 patients with a history of hypertension, 2,573 ( 59.1%) were positive. However, after excluding age and other factors, the analysis of patients' medication showed that there is no substantial correlation between a single drug and the positive rate and the probability of severe illness.

Under normal circumstances, when the blood pressure drops, the human body will trigger a series of mechanisms to increase blood pressure through RAAS, including angiotensin I which is converted into angiotensin II by ACE, which further raises blood pressure.

Harmony Reynolds, deputy director of the New York University School of Medicine's Center for Cardiovascular Research, who led the study, said the study pointed out that taking blood pressure lowering drugs does not increase the risk of COVID-19 infection.

Can a healthy person have a stroke? Pay attention to these three eating habits.

  Can a healthy person have a stroke?  Pay attention to these three eating habits. But anyone, even people who are relatively young and healthy, could potentially have a stroke. In the past, stroke was considered a disease that only middle-aged and elderly people need to worry about. According to a report published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (Stroke) in February 2020, 10-15% of stroke patients are between 18-50 years old. Many young stroke patients have a family history of genetic disease, but poor eating habits may also bring about a stroke crisis. See the following three major dangerous causes of stroke. 1.Low carb diet In order to reduce the intake of carbohydrates, some people eat less vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes, but eat too much high-protein, high-fat foods, leading to an increase in blood lipids and cholesterol and increasing the risk of stroke. The "Journal of the American College of Cardiology" study also pointed out that taking ...

Why do you get diabetes? If you have the following habits, be careful.

 Why do you get diabetes? If you have the following habits, be careful. Diabetes comes from heredity or lifestyle. What is "diabetes"? After ordinary people eat, glucose is produced during the digestion and decomposition of food. When the pancreas feels the stimulation of glucose, it will secrete "insulin" to let glucose enter the cells and convert it into energy, so that our body has enough energy. However, if the body lacks insulin, or the cells cannot use insulin and produce (Insulin Resistance; IR), the sugar in the blood cannot enter the cells, causing the body to lack nutrition and damage blood vessels at the same time, and "diabetes" is formed. Therefore, the key reason for diabetes is whether the body has "secreted enough" insulin and whether it can "correctly use" insulin. Please refer to the following items to evaluate your own situation. 1. There are diabetic patients in the family. 2. gestational diabetes mellitus. 3. Fatty ...

What is pregnancy-induced hypertension?

Pregnancy-induced hypertension  Hypertension in pregnancy is an unpredictable and high-risk disease during pregnancy. If the blood pressure exceeds the standard, it must be controlled to ensure the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman. Therefore, a better understanding of pregnancy-induced hypertension is helpful for future judgment and treatment. Pregnancy-induced hypertension means that a pregnant woman does not have a history of hypertension, but after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it can be defined as Pregnancy-induced hypertension if the symptoms of hypertension are found on examination. If the pregnant woman has a related medical history, the symptoms of hypertension during pregnancy are not pregnancy-induced hypertension. If you have symptoms of hypertension before 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is possible that the pregnant woman is a hypertensive patient, but has not been previously diagnosed. After 20 weeks of pregnancy, there will be an item to measure blood pressure in the ob...
