Eat carrots and citrus fruits
Vegetables and fruits help protect the liver thanks to their rich vitamins, minerals and fiber. Among them, green leafy vegetables, carrots, potatoes and citrus fruits bring the most obvious effects. It is recommended to eat at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits per day, equivalent to about 400-800 grams. Maintaining this habit can help reduce the risk of liver cancer by about 20%.
Supplement dairy products
If you limit alcohol and maintain the habit of using milk and yogurt every day, the risk of liver cancer can be significantly reduced, even up to nearly 80%.
Do not eat moldy foods
Molded foods may contain aflatoxin - a very dangerous liver cancer agent. Foods such as soybeans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sugarcane... need to be discarded immediately when mold is detected. Peanut oil should not be left for too long; if it smells bad, absolutely do not use it.
Limit pickled vegetables
Pickled dishes such as pickled mustard greens, pickled vegetables, or pickled fish, although easy to eat, contain a lot of nitrosamine - a substance associated with the risk of liver cancer. Therefore, you should minimize or only eat in small amounts to protect liver health.
