Preventing Colon Problems

A colorectal cancer screening is recommended at age 50 and beyond unless you have a risk factor. So many people put them off because they are afraid of the discomfort. Doctors say though with sedation the procedure is painless. The benefits to having the screening is that with early detection, colon cancer is curable in up to around 90 percent of the cancers.

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and/or rectum) is the third most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths among Americans. The American Cancer Society reports that colon cancer rates among African Americans are about 15% higher and deaths about 40% higher than among whites. Yet there is no explanation for this statistic. There is some common ground between the lifestyles of  black Americans and colon cancers risk factors being overweight, low level of physical activity, having a diet high in fat and red meat and low in fruits and vegetable. Risk also increases if you smoke, have a family history of colorectal cancer, have  digestive disorders such as IBS,ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease.

Here are some commonly prescribed prevention strategies:

Eat less fat and less red meat especially processed meat. Eat more fruits and vegetable.

Eat more fish and chicken.

Take vitamins – include a safe dose of folic acid (1 mg per day) and also B complex vitamins

Quit smoking
