Old Liu, who is 50 years old this year, recently diagnosed with cancer along with his wife, causing deep sorrow. The reason behind this was that the couple ran a fruit shop. Whenever fruits rotted due to prolonged sales or transportation, they would cut off the rotten parts and eat the unspoiled parts themselves because they couldn’t bear to discard them. Unfortunately, over time, this practice led to both of them developing cancer.
To the average person, the actions of Old Liu and his wife seemed reasonable because they were consuming the unspoiled portions of the fruits and displaying thriftiness. However, from a health perspective, this behavior posed a significant risk. In light of this, some doctors pointed out that in life, there are four aspects where we should not skimp too much to avoid endangering our health.
1. Do not skimp on rotten fruits
Some people might think that they can simply remove the rotted portion of the fruit and consume the rest that is intact. However, once fruits rot, they release certain toxic substances that can harm even the seemingly unaffected parts. Prolonged consumption of such rotten fruits can lead to various health issues, even malignant tumors.
2. Do not skimp on rotten nuts
For example, common peanuts, once they rot, can produce a carcinogenic substance called aflatoxin, which negatively affects the liver. Accumulation of this substance may lead to liver cancer.
3. Do not skimp on drinking water
Water is essential for the body, and inadequate attention to the quality of drinking water can lead to various health problems. For instance, hard water can cause kidney stones, and water contaminated with toxins can trigger diseases like parasitic infections. This emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the source of drinking water.
4. Do not skimp on home decoration
Many materials used in home decoration contain harmful substances, some of which can potentially cause cancer, such as wall paint and low-quality furniture. Care must be taken to choose quality materials during decoration; using substandard products for the sake of cost savings can lead to allergies or even tumors. Moreover, it is advisable to leave the house unoccupied for a period after decoration before moving in, which is a good safeguard for our health.
