Oncologist Anton Ivanov said in a conversation with a journalist that limited consumption of red meat improves the body's defense against cancer.
Oncologist Ivanov noted that the desire to observe healthy eating rules are very effective in preventing malignant tumors. In particular, to prevent cancer, you should consume high-calorie foods as little as possible, which quickly leads to excess weight. According to the oncologist, excess fat deposition disrupts metabolism, which is fraught with disruptions that disrupt the normal functioning of cells and lead to their mutations.
In addition, among the basic nutritional rules for cancer prevention, oncologist Ivanov named limiting beef and pork, and other red meat. The doctor warned that its active use can activate inflammation processes that affect the occurrence of cancer (for example, colorectal cancer).
“Red meat, such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, horse meat and goat, contains a lot of healthy protein, B vitamins, and heme iron. An excess of the latter can contribute to an increase in the production of free oxygen radicals, that is, molecules that can damage the cells and genetic material of the body,” the expert warned in a commentary to Gazeta.Ru.
Anton Ivanov added that for the prevention of cancer it is also important to reduce the amount alcohol and salt, and never consume foods spoiled by mold.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, it is useful to eat boiled potatoes.
