　　It’s hard to quit smoking. Nine foods can help you prevent tumors

　　Tobacco contains carbon monoxide, nicotine and other alkaloids, amines, nitriles, alcohols, phenols, alkanes, aldehydes, nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic compounds, hydroxyl compounds, heavy metal elements, organic pesticides, etc., which are very harmful to people. Therefore, for smokers, eating more of the following 9 types of foods can prevent lung cancer.

　　1. Foods rich in vitamin C.

　　Smoking can consume a large amount of vitamins and reduce their activity, especially vitamin C in the body. Therefore, eating more fruits and vegetables with high vitamin C content can have a certain supplementary effect; such as tangerines, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, tomatoes, cherries, hawthorns, guava, peppers, strawberries, kale, cauliflower, kiwi, etc.

　　2. Foods rich in vitamin B2.

　　Such as animal liver, egg yolk, milk, milk, lean meat, spinach, fruits, eel, carrots, mushrooms, etc.

　　3.Tea.

　　Some compounds contained in cigarettes can cause thickening of the arterial intima, significant reduction in gastric acid secretion, and increased blood sugar. The unique catechins in tea can effectively prevent the deposition of bile on blood vessel walls, increase gastrointestinal motility, and reduce blood and urine glucose. Therefore, smokers should often drink tea, especially green tea, to reduce the toxic effects of smoke. At the same time, tea can be a diuretic and detoxifying agent. It can also make some toxic substances in smoke be excreted with the urine and reduce their residence time in the body.

　　4. Foods rich in selenium.

　　Such as animal liver, seaweed and shrimp, etc. Because smoking can easily lead to low levels of selenium in human blood, and selenium is an indispensable trace element for cancer prevention and anti-cancer.

　　5. Bile-lowering foods.

　　Smoking can increase the amount of bile and fat deposits in blood vessels, reduce the blood supply to the brain, easily cause brain atrophy, and accelerate brain aging. Therefore, smokers should eat less fat and meat containing saturated fatty acids in their diet, and increase some foods that can reduce or inhibit bile synthesis, such as milk, fish, soy products, fruits, vegetables, etc.

　　6. Nuts and whole grains.

　　A survey report by the National Cancer Institute pointed out that foods containing vitamin E such as nuts (apricots, walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc.) and whole grains can reduce the incidence of lung cancer in smokers by about 20%.

　　7. Milk and carrots.

　　Smokers who regularly consume milk and carrots have significantly lower incidence rates of gastric cancer and lung cancer than smokers who do not regularly consume these foods.

　　8. Foods containing beta-carotene.

　　Alkaline foods rich in β-carotene can effectively inhibit smokers' craving for cigarettes, and have a certain effect on reducing the amount of smoking and quitting smoking. Foods rich in beta-carotene include carrots, spinach, pea sprouts, alfalfa, peppers, etc.

　　9. Alkaline food.

　　When a person's body fluids are alkaline, it can reduce the smoker's absorption of nicotine. Eat more fruits, vegetables, soybeans and other alkaline foods to reduce the absorption rate of nicotine. At the same time, these alkaline foods can also stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, increase gastrointestinal motility, and avoid the occurrence of indigestion, bloating and other symptoms that are more common among smokers.

　　Smoking is harmful to health. We also warn all smokers to stay away from tobacco for their own health and to maintain healthy lungs.
