The harm of smoking is well known, and it can be said to be the first killer of health. In fact, even if you don’t smoke, some unhealthy habits in your life will cause no less harm than smoking. Life times summarized “six bad habits comparable to smoking” by synthesizing the articles of Rodale life network in the United States.
1 sit all day
Sitting in the office or in the car for a long time will bring a variety of health diseases, and even regular exercise can not offset the harm of sitting for a long time.
A new study by Alberta health service and cancer care center found that nearly 160000 cases of breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer occurred every year were related to lack of exercise, but only 2 / 3 of them were caused by smoking.
Experts suggest that we should develop the habit of getting up and walking regularly at work and exercise more at home.
2 do not turn on the range hood when using the gas stove
A new study published in the US journal Environmental Health outlook found that poor ventilation when using gas stoves will lead to serious indoor carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde exceeding the standard. These three pollutants are very common in second-hand smoke.
Experts said that as long as the gas stove is used, the range hood should be turned on, regardless of frying and cooking, which can reduce pollution by 60% ~ 90%.
3 eating too much meat
Animal protein contains growth hormone IGF-1, which can promote the growth of tumor cells. A new study by the University of Southern California published in the American Journal cell metabolism found that people who consume a large amount of animal protein in middle age will have a cancer mortality rate four times higher than their peers in the future, but it will not hurt people over 65 years old.
Experts suggest that some animal proteins should be replaced by vegetable proteins such as beans. Middle aged people should supplement protein according to their body weight every day and 0.8g every 2 pounds (0.9kg).
4 high temperature fried food
A number of studies have shown that too high a temperature of edible oil will produce acrolein and a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This kind of carcinogen also exists in cigarettes, which is easy to cause respiratory inflammation.
Experts suggest using more olive oil and avoiding too high oil temperature when cooking.
