Doctor Vyalov called a mistake in the diet of men that attracts cancer

Gastroenterologist and hepatologist, candidate of medical sciences Sergei Vyalov said that the so-called “men's diet” can lead to serious health problems. We are talking about a small amount of fiber consumed with vegetables.

According to the doctor, if there is enough fiber in the diet, this fact reduces the risk of developing a malignant tumor and the likelihood of death from colon, lung and prostate cancer .

Proteins, fats, carbohydrates are almost completely absorbed at the beginning of the digestive process, so that only fiber from plants remains in the intestines. For the normal functioning of the intestines, fiber is needed, for example, the one that we get from vegetables.

– Not all men like vegetables, more often their image is associated with a brutal grill, barbecue or meat. In European countries, and in our country, too, men eat too few vegetables. In the end, everyone suffers. Vegetables are a normal condition for bowel function. Their absence leads to constipation, – the doctor said in his blog.

The required amount of vegetables depends on their fiber content – you need about 30 grams per day.

– On average, 100 grams of vegetables contain 7 to 10 percent fiber. This means that men need to eat 300-400 grams of vegetables a day,, Vyalov emphasized.

Intestinal oncology (colorectal cancer) occupies one of the main positions in terms of frequency of development among other types of malignant tumors.
Symptoms of bowel cancer:

• weakness, fatigue;
• sudden unreasonable weight loss;
• lack of appetite;
• aversion to meat food;
• diarrhea, constipation;
• impurities in the feces (blood, mucus, pus);
• aching or cramping pains in the abdomen.
