健康飲食多運動 遠離大腸癌

大林慈濟醫院肝膽腸胃科主任謝毓錫今天表示,台灣大腸癌罹患率增加,與民眾飲食相關,體重過重也是危險因子之一。建議多吃蔬果,多運動及檢查,是預防大腸癌不二法門。


謝毓錫指出,據國民健康局今年4月間公布的男女十大癌症發生率,大腸癌排名第2,而大腸癌與民眾飲食習慣及體重有直接關係。

謝毓錫表示,多數大腸癌都是由大腸瘜肉演變而來,部分研究顯示,肥胖民眾發生大腸瘜肉機率較高,而健康飲食加上多運動,不但有助於減少大腸癌的形成,更是減重良方。

謝毓錫說,預防大腸癌最簡單方法,就是從飲食做起,尤其近年來國人飲食逐漸西化,食用過多肉類、油炸、燒烤食物,而蔬菜、水果的食用量則減少,罹患大腸癌的機會也跟隨增加。

他指出,多吃蔬菜、水果,這類富含纖維質的食物可以幫助排便順暢,大腸黏膜就比較不會受到刺激,減少大腸癌的形成。另外,少吃肉類、油炸食物,加上規律運動,也有助於減少大腸癌發生。

他表示,大腸癌症狀包括解血便、大便習慣改變、腹痛、貧血或體重減輕,但每一種症狀都可能有不同病因,例如血便,最常見原因是痔瘡,而不是大腸癌,一般人常會把它當成痔瘡,未進一步檢查,因而延誤治療時機。

他說,民眾若有血便,需進一步做大腸鏡檢查,可以減少70%以上的大腸癌發生率。

What to Eat to Beat Knee Pain

Simple diet changes can help chase away knee pain. Learn which foods can help and hurt knee health.

By Jan Sheehan
Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH

Looking for a natural way to relieve knee pain?
You may want to tweak your diet. A growing body of research suggests that small dietary changes can add up to big benefits for knee health.

"A number of foods have powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that may be as effective as some prescription medicines for arthritis and other types of knee pain," says Beth Reardon, RD, MS, an integrative nutritionist and medicinal foods expert at Duke Integrative Medicine Center in Durham , N.C.

Read on to learn how mealtime may be affecting the health of your knees.

Diet and Knee Pain: Go Fish

The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are natural anti-inflammatories. Calming joint inflammation can often help ease knee soreness, according to Steven Stuchin, MD, director of orthopedic surgery at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City . In randomized clinical studies, omega-3 fatty acids were found to ease pain and reduce the duration of morning stiffness in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The best sources of omega-3s are salmon, tuna, sardines,herring, cod, and mackerel, as well as fish oil supplements. Another benefit of adding fish to your diet: "Fish is safer than anti-inflammatory medication, which may have side effects," says Reardon.

Diet and Knee Pain: Drink Orange Juice

Orange juice is a top-notch source of vitamin C, a nutrient that may guard against knee osteoarthritis. A 10-year Australian study of almost 300 middle-aged adults found that those getting high amounts of vitamin C were less likely to suffer the kind of bone degeneration associated with knee osteoarthritis. "Drinking a glass of orange juice provides about 25 percent more vitamin C than eating an orange," says Reardon. Other good sources of vitamin C to prevent knee pain are green peppers, grapefruit, and strawberries.

Diet and Knee Pain: Eat Spinach and Onions Follow Popeye's lead and add spinach to your regime.

Australian researchers found that getting high amounts of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin (found in green veggies like spinach) can help relieve knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Several studies have found an additional benefit of lutein and zeaxanthin, as they can help prevent vision-related diseases. Don't forget to add some onions to your spinach salad as well. Adding onions to salads, sandwiches, stews, and casseroles may help put the brakes on knee pain. Onions are a rich source of quercetin, a flavonoid with strong anti-inflammatory properties, says Reardon. In studies of arthritic mice, quercetin resulted in significant decreases
in arthritis symptoms. Apples, red grapes, and tea are also good sources of quercetin.

Diet and Knee Pain: Order Indian Food

A helping of curry could do wonders for your knee pain. That's because turmeric, a spice used in curry and other Indian dishes, contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory. "Curcumin works similarly to COX-2 inhibitors drugs that reduce the COX-2 enzyme that causes the pain and swelling of arthritis," says Reardon.
A 2006 Canadian study of the effects of both curcumin and quercetin found that curcumin reduced the nflammation of arthritis in animals. Quercetin (the flavonoid in onions) worked too, but not to the extent of the curcumin.

Diet and Knee Pain: Use Ginger Generously

The herb ginger traditionally has been used to relieve upset stomach, but researchers recently discovered that
it also reduces knee pain by decreasing inflammation. In a study of 261 patients with moderate to severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis, ginger extract significantly reduced knee pain during standing and walking. Cooking with this spice can increase the flavor of meals while decreasing knee pain.

Diet and Knee Pain: Avoid Refined Carbohydrates

Some research suggests that diets high in refined carbohydrates can increase inflammation, says Reardon.
She recommends steering clear of white bread, pasta, and baked goods taking these foods out of your diet can have an added bonus of helping you drop excess pounds. Because changing your diet is a relatively easy step, it makes sense to try some or all of the foods listed above. You may find some relief from knee pain and get some added health benefits to boot.

化學毒素不僅損害健康、破壞肌膚,更透過母親侵害下一代。專業醫美診所院長蔣博智醫師建議:「在後塑化劑時代,飲食習慣最好回歸自然簡單,選擇一些有排毒作用的食物,順便達到養顏美容,減低熱量攝取,反而一舉數得!」

塑化劑事件爆發讓政府和消費者了解現代人早已被毒素環伺,持續毒素累積會漸漸影響人的代謝平衡和內臟功能、內分泌系統和免疫系統,進而導致精神不集中、憂鬱煩躁、心血管病變、癌症,連帶影響皮膚搔癢、痘痘肌、皮膚粗糙和皮膚暗沉等肌膚問題,同時影響健康和外貌。

蔣博智表示,除了運動外,食物排毒是上上之策,也推薦12種最佳的排毒食物,像是糙米、綠豆、紅豆、地瓜、蘆筍屬於養護腸胃食品,有助於腸胃蠕動,促進排便利尿,有助排毒。芹菜的豐富纖維則可以過濾體內廢物,刺激身體排毒;胡蘿蔔的果膠可以與汞結合,是有效的排汞食物,更能改善消化系統,抵抗導致老化的自由基。

蔣博智指出,蘋果的果膠則可避免食物在腸道內腐化;洋蔥含有豐富的硫,能有效與蛋白質結合,對肝臟特別有益;蜂蜜自古就是排毒養顏聖品,排毒的同時還能防治心血管疾病和神經衰弱;山藥有助整頓消化系統,減少皮下脂肪沉積,生食的排毒效果最好;牛奶和豆製品的豐富鈣質是有用的「毒素」搬移工。
