Healthy Living for good Colorectal Health
A regular colonoscopy once in ten years after 50 is the single proven method of cancer prevention. There is no one supplement that can verifiably prevent colon cancer, but playing the odds could preserve your life. Consider:
- People who eats the least fruits and vegetables has a higher risk of cancer.
- Cigarette addicts have a 30% higher risk of colon cancer than nonsmokers.
- An active lifestyle reduces the risk of colon cancer by about 50%.
Lifestyle
Exercise speeds up the digestion process, minimizing the bowel’s exposure to toxins in our food waste. The Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Mumbai recommends exercise that last for at least 20 minutes, three to four times in a week.
Diet
As per the current knowledge the below vitamins and micronutrients may be cancer protective:
calcium: Current recommended calcium supplementation is about 1200 g/day, about three to four cups of milk.
folate: folate is found in leafy veggies like spinach, turnip greens, asparagus as well as bean, lentils, and sunflower seeds.
selenium: Try brazil nuts, cereals, kidney, tuna, crab, or lobster for dietary selenium. The selenium content in these foods vary based on soil nutrients and other factors.
Vitamin’s B12, B6, C, E: The damage to DNA by these vitamin deficiencies is similar to the damage caused by radiation poisoning.
pre & probiotics: Unrefined cereals often contain prebiotics, and look for probiotics in your yoghurt. Pre- and probiotics are more effective together than alone.
fiber: The average adult only eats about one third of the recommended daily fiber intake.
Smoking
Unlike heart and lung cancer, giving up smoking does not reverse or lower the risk of colon cancer, although the longer you smoke the higher the risk. Alcohol and tobacco consumed together is deadly and is linked to gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers.
Do not Self Diagnose
The correct diagnosis can be the difference between life and death. Please do not self diagnose or self medicate. A lot of patients either put off seeing a doctor or make a treatment decision based on insufficient information. Frequently and tragically this can lead to a fatal error.
