Middle-aged and elderly women should drink less coffee

With International Working Women's Day approaching, women's health has become the focus of attention. In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year. Experts point out that paying attention to diet and strengthening self-examination will help to prevent breast cancer.

Chen Debo, deputy director of breast surgery at Quanzhou first Hospital, said that every year, there are about 1 million new cases of breast tumors among women in the world, and 500000 people die of breast tumors. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 1000 new cases of breast tumors in Quanzhou every year. Accelerated pace of life, high pressure at work, late marriage and late childbearing, heavy mental burden, poor sleep, disorder of daily life, endocrine disorders and so on are all high risk factors to induce breast tumor in urban professional women.

Studies have found that women who don't get enough vitamin An are 20% more likely to develop breast cancer, he said. If women can often eat foods containing vitamin A, such as carrots, potatoes, lentils, pumpkins, tomatoes, garlic, asparagus, celery, spinach, egg yolk, sheep liver, apricot, lemon, wheat germ, vegetable oil and so on, it can effectively prevent breast cancer. Experts believe that if women can take enough vitamin An every day, they will be less likely to develop breast cancer after half a year.

Dr. Chen pointed out that coffee, cocoa, chocolate, this kind of food contains a lot of xanthine, xanthine can promote benign breast hyperplasia, and benign breast hyperplasia is associated with breast cancer. If women, especially premenopausal women, eat too much of this kind of food, the risk of breast cancer will be greatly increased. Therefore, women, especially middle-aged women, should drink less coffee and eat less chocolate.

In addition, he suggested that female friends should know more about breast diseases, master breast self-examination methods, develop the habit of regular breast self-examination, and actively participate in breast cancer screening. In addition to regular monthly breast self-examination, it is better for women aged 40 and 49 to have a professional breast examination once a year; women over the age of 50 should have a breast self-examination regularly every month and clinical breast examination and mammography once a year; women aged 20 and 40 should have a breast self-examination within one week after their monthly period. Every 2 years, a clinical examination or mammography is performed by a professional physician.
