Some Eating Habits That Cause Stomach Cancer

***image source*** **Gastric cancer is not as popular as cervical cancer or breast cancer. But this type of cancer is no less deadly. And what's worse, the symptoms are often considered as an ordinary ulcer disease.** **In addition to smoking and drinking alcohol, gastric cancer can also be triggered by patterns or ways of eating. The following eating habits should be avoided or restricted because of the risk of gastric cancer as reported by [nakita.grid.id (28/02/18)](https://nakita.grid.id).** 1. **Eat Hot Food** ***image source*** **Who would have thought hot food could actually increase the risk of gastric cancer. Even though eating meatballs or boiled noodles is most delicious when eaten hot. It turns out that this habit should be avoided because the mucous membranes in the human digestive tract are fragile and can only process food at a temperature of 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit or about 10-15 degrees Celsius. Hot eating habits can burn mucous membranes and increase the risk of gastric cancer by 4.22 times.** 2. **Eat sour fruit on an empty stomach** ***image source*** **Ever eat sour fruit when your stomach is empty. Gastric acid concentration when hungry is high. If at that time added to the consumption of acidic fruit, it will settle in the stomach. When this sediment has enlarged, the air pressure caused makes the stomach hurt. And if it lasts longer it will increase the risk of stomach cancer.** 3. **Rice mixed with soup or soup** ***image source*** **Sounds ridiculous, how can mixed rice increase the risk of stomach cancer. So when rice is mixed with gravy, people usually eat rice without chewing it first because the texture of rice is soft due to blending with the gravy. This is the danger because it causes the workload of the stomach to become heavy. The rice must be smoothed through the mouth, but the smoothing process is handed over to the stomach. If this is often done it can increase stomach cancer.** **Those are some foods that must be avoided or limited to minimizing the risk of developing gastric cancer. May be useful.**
