Don’t be afraid! To prevent

Keep a close eye on these two types of "catering suppliers"

01
Red meat “processing plant”

Sausages, bacon, and luncheon meat have long been stamped as “Class 1 carcinogens” by the World Health Organization. The nitrosamines they contain are like handing razor blades to cancer cells. If you eat more than 500 grams (equivalent to 5 grilled sausages) a week, your intestines will start to show red lights!

02
High-fat and high-sugar “takeaway group”

Fried chicken with milk tea may seem delicious, but it is actually not good for the health of intestinal flora. Long-term “feeding” will also damage the intestinal mucosa.

Barbecue or other cooking methods may also contain the carcinogen benzopyrene.

To maintain a healthy intestine

The following two points should be kept in mind

1. Steam more, fry less

Use steaming, boiling and blanching more often, and avoid frying, grilling and smoking.

1. Eat more vegetables and take in dietary fiber

A whole-grain diet and more vegetables, especially the “cleaning team” consisting of radish, cabbage and broccoli , and 30 grams of fiber intake per day are equivalent to a “spring cleaning” for the intestines.
