Then with the daily changes, people's quality of life is getting higher and higher, and their living standards are also greatly improved. Some people pay more and more attention to health care awareness. After all, good health is the happiest thing in life.
According to the survey, the population of physical examination is increasing year by year, because everyone believes that prevention is greater than treatment. However, in many people's physical examination reports, it is always found that some nodules in the body grow faster, and nodules are usually divided into many types. Many people also think that nodules have an unknown relationship with white radish. What's going on here?
What is a nodule? What are the types of nodules?
Nodules are round, oval or irregular induration left by inflammatory or non-inflammatory injuries, which can occur in many parts of the body. Common nodules are breast nodules, lung nodules, liver nodules and skin nodules.
Among them, breast nodules are related to breast hyperplasia, strong stimulation of estrogen and progesterone secretion and other factors. Most nodules are benign, but if they continue to grow, they may become malignant. A few nodules may subside on their own, but most of them may continue to grow and need surgical treatment.
Clinically, there are single nodules and multiple nodules. The so-called "nodule-prone constitution" should not be left unchecked after the occurrence of nodules, otherwise it will endanger health.
Can nodule patients eat white radish?
White radish can promote digestion. When the human body lacks enough exercise, coupled with the dry weather, the human body is hot and dry, and it is easy to have indigestion and even constipation.
Eating white radish in winter can help digestion, promote metabolism and prevent constipation. White radish can improve human immunity. Vitamins and trace elements contained in white radish can improve human body's resistance and prevent colds and infectious diseases in winter when human body's resistance is poor.
White radish also has anti-cancer effect. Cancer patients can eat white radish properly, which can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells to some extent.
Eating more radishes is good for lung nodules. Radish is a cool food, which has the effects of clearing away lung heat, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. Radish can be eaten through some cooking techniques.
Generally, radish can be directly shredded, added with appropriate condiments to make a cold salad and eaten directly. In addition, radish can also be cut into pieces to cook soup for drinking. In addition, the effect of clearing away lung heat can also be achieved by dicing radish and putting it into japonica rice to make porridge for drinking.
In addition, white radish does not contain phytoestrogens, which will not cause changes in estrogen levels in the body and will not aggravate breast nodules. So generally speaking, patients with breast nodules can eat white radish in moderation.
Moreover, white radish contains more nutrients such as water, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Proper consumption can supplement the corresponding nutrition and energy for patients.
In a word, white radish is a nutritious food, so white radish is the natural enemy of thigh fat, which is incomparable to any fruit or vegetable.
Gastroenterologist: I don't want the nodule to become cancerous, so I should eat three things less.
Spicy food
Patients with nodules should be careful not to eat spicy food, which is very bad for patients, such as some raw onions, ginger, garlic, peppers and so on.
Mainly eat more digestible food at ordinary times, don't eat greasy food, such as beef and mutton, which is not good for patients. Some fried and barbecue foods are usually eaten as little as possible, which is not very good for patients.
Foods with high iodine content
Patients with nodules should not eat food with high iodine content. Eating such food will not only aggravate the illness, but also bring great influence to the body. Sea cucumber, shrimp, scallop, laver, shrimp skin and kelp are all foods with high iodine content, so these foods must be avoided in life.
Iodine is a trace element and a raw material for synthesizing thyroid hormone. Too much or too little intake will affect the morphology and function of thyroid. Clinically, it is found that the iodine intake of human body has a "U"-shaped relationship with the incidence of thyroid nodules, and the iodine intake at the bottom of the U-shaped is the best, and the thyroid nodule rate is the lowest at this time.
If iodine intake is too much or too little, the prevalence of thyroid nodules may increase. Medically, it is recommended that adults take iodine 120 micrograms per day, pregnant women take iodine 230 micrograms per day, and lactating women take iodine 240 micrograms per day.
Foods with high estrogen content
Generally speaking, foods such as soybean milk, tofu or honey contain a lot of estrogen, and excessive intake of such foods by women will lead to excessive estrogen secretion in the body.
This will cause endocrine disorders and promote the proliferation of breast nodules. Therefore, for women with breast nodules, for the sake of breast health, foods containing estrogen must be eaten as little as possible.
In addition, patients with nodules should eat less braised pork, fat intestines, squid and other foods, otherwise it is easy to promote the growth of nodules and is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
