Why is China's 'Cancer Rate' Twice That of Japan? Experts Point to Two Things Japanese People Almost Don't Touch
Today, China's tourism industry has developed extremely rapidly, and traveling abroad has become commonplace. Regardless of gender and age, tourism is seen as a leisure activity. When it comes to traveling abroad, for Chinese tourists, Japan is particularly beloved, mainly because it is close to China, leading to relatively small cultural differences. Therefore, many Chinese people are very eager to travel to Japan. In fact, this is not just my country's tourists, many tourists from around the world are also willing to travel to Japan.
Japan is an anime kingdom and an island nation with beautiful harbors. It is rich in seafood, and many tourists are willing to come here to taste seafood. Tourists say that Japan is a longevity town, not only that, but local people also rarely get sick. It is reported that China's average cancer incidence rate is twice that of Japan, which is noteworthy because it does not have a large population base. So what is the difference in the link, and what is the difference in cancer incidence?
Experts point out that these two things, Japanese people almost don't touch. So what are these two things? When talking about the first thing, it is closely related to the fact that hundreds of millions of Chinese people are closely related - some people can't even get through a day without smoking. This thing is cigarettes. Although everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, including the warnings on cigarette packaging, many people still smoke. In fact, smoking is a factor affecting the incidence of cancer. People who smoke frequently are prone to lung cancer or oral cancer.
Japan takes strict control over cigarettes. The country sets cigarette taxes very high, so the price of cigarettes is several times higher than in China, which reduces consumers' purchasing desire. The second thing is Japanese people's eating habits. Everyone knows that Japan is an island nation surrounded by four seas, and seafood is very abundant. However, Japanese people do not eat big fish and big meat every time. This is because Japanese people are very demanding about their own diet. Even the richest people also regard health as very important.
In Japan, few people order takeout. Japanese people regard takeout as junk food. Even in hungry environments, they will not order takeout. Japanese people also rarely drink high-alcohol wines, generally only drink low-alcohol wines such as sake. Besides, Japanese bottled wine is generally expensive, which reduces people's purchasing desire. These two things, namely, are what we Chinese lack. In fact, it's not difficult to acquire them, just through self-discipline.
