Japan has the highest rate of stomach cancer among developed countries?

Stomach cancer has always been common in Japan.

It is one of the top causes of morbidity and mortality in both men and women

Early symptoms such as chronic discomfort, heartburn, and loss of appetite appear
However, many patients neglect these symptoms because they occur even without cancer, such as "somewhat upset stomach," "loss of appetite," "easy fatigue," and "weight loss.
It is difficult to recognize the early symptoms, and many people live their lives feeling somewhat uncomfortable as it is.

Weight loss is considered one of the characteristic symptoms of cancers of the digestive system (this characteristic seems to be a feature of cancers that have progressed to some degree).

Since sugar is essential as a nutrient, the presence of advanced cancer in the body raises blood sugar levels relative to the body to secure nutrients for oneself

In addition, fat stored in the body is converted into sugar to provide nutrients. Add to this the effect of a decreased appetite, and you will lose more and more weight!

In other words, weight loss means that the cancer has already begun to progress

Even if the symptoms are common, such as loss of appetite and lethargy, it is safer to visit a clinic if the condition persists for one to two weeks.

(On the other hand, many non-cancer symptoms will spontaneously resolve within a week, so it is important to keep this in mind.)

Stomach cancer prevention has been shown to be effective by quitting smoking, avoiding too much salt and high-sodium foods, and eradicating Helicobacter pylori.
Stomach cancer prevention can be easily accomplished by managing your diet on a daily basis.
There is no need to pay a lot of money. It is believed that stomach cancer can be prevented to some extent with a proper diet and a week of exercise.
