揭秘世上唯一无癌国家吃什么?太实用了!强烈推荐!!
斐济是现今世界上唯一没有癌症的国家~常吃杏仁。在南太平洋,有一个由322个岛屿组成的国家︰斐济( Fiji)。
据资料介绍,斐济是现今世界上唯一一个没有癌症的国家,全国62万人中至今无一人患癌(最近估计约有85万人)。
原来,居民们在饮食上有一个特殊的习惯:就是人人都吃杏。斐济产杏,大大小小的岛屿上长满了杏树。
居民们将杏加工成杏肉乾、杏仁,做为日常食品食用。科学家研究发现,斐济人不患癌与吃杏息息相关。
另据资料介绍,在喜马拉雅山东南麓,有一个居住着五万馀人的少数民族地区,这裡普遍长寿,平均寿命在90岁与100岁之间,他们几乎与世间的病魔绝缘。他们居住的地方也是遍地杏树。
美国科学家考察后发现,该处的人能长命百岁,也与常食杏肉乾和杏仁有关。杏肉、杏仁均可食用。杏仁除可食用外,还是一味被人推崇的中药。
杏仁分苦、甜两种,苦杏仁能止咳平喘、润肠通便;甜杏仁偏重滋养,有补虚、润肠、散寒驱风、止泻润燥等功能,是医治哮喘、支气管炎、皮肤脱落、肠胃病之药。
《本草纲目》中指出︰杏仁甘、苦、温、冷利,有小毒,主治咳、逆上气喘促,润心肺,除肺热。其他药籍医典中也有记载。
现代医学研究证实:杏仁每100克含蛋白质35克左右,含脂肪50克左右,还含有丰富的铁、锌、钙、钾、磷、硒等矿物质和丰富的维生素A、维生素C、维生素E、维生素B17等。
美国科学家在喜马拉雅山东南麓长寿地区考察得出,该地区居民每日所食的含杏的食品中,所含的维生素B17和维生素E是西方人每日摄入量的20倍左右,而维生素B17具有抗癌作用,维生素E被人们称为抗氧化之王。
杏仁中的脂肪90%为不饱和脂肪酸,不饱和脂肪酸是一种对人体有益的脂肪酸,可降低人体内的胆固醇,促进血管健康,预防高血脂、高血压、动脉粥样硬化等疾病的发生。
杏仁中丰富的硒元素对人体来说更是一种珍贵的微量元素,硒能帮助人体清除各种自由基,保护细胞免受有害物质的攻击;硒还有将对人体有害的如汞、铅、镉等重金属物质排出体外的功能,使人体免受其害;硒还有抑制延缓细胞恶变的能力,并帮助细胞进行自我修复。人体若缺乏微量元素硒,极易导致癌症的发生。杏仁还是一种高能量食品,每100克杏仁中含有514大卡能量。

ACCORDING to the World Health Organisation, Fiji's cancer incidence is at a rate of 128.9 per 100,000.
This was revealed by President Ratu Eepli Nailatikau at the Fiji Cancer Society's Western branch's garden tea at South Sea Orchids in Nadi.
He said Fiji's cancer rate was among the highest in the Western Pacific after New Caledonia with a rate of 218.5 per 100,000 and Guam with a rate of 157.9 per 100,000.
Ratu Epeli said the Health Ministry was addressing the growing burden of cancer by improving community access to adequate primary and preventative cancer services including access to effective, efficient and quality clinical and rehabilitative cancer services.
However, with regard to the risk factors for cancer, he said statistics available from surveys reveal that the prevalence of smoking in Fiji was 37 per cent of which 42 per cent smoke daily.
"Obesity, which is associated with endometrial cancers, is rising rapidly," he said, adding the NCD steps survey indicated that 29 per cent of the population was overweight and a significant 18 per cent obese.
Ratu Epeli said the problem was being further compounded by the low intake of fruits and vegetables with about one third of the population eating less than one serving of vegetables per day and two thirds eating less than one serving.
