The Colorectal Cancer Prevention and Your Diet

By Michael Byrd

Colorectal cancer prevention and diet has several similarities.

Your colon and rectum are responsible for lots of factors regarding nutrient absorption, water management and elimination of waste.

A scientist is not needed to tell you that a garbage in equals to a garbage out. Let's see what these experts have to say.

In the studies of colorectal cancer prevention and diet, it has discovered that red and processed meats were its major contributor. Unfortunately, many doctors in France were not convinced with its "existing evidence" and decided to do a more comprehensive study.

There were 478,040 men and women in a span of nearly five years that they followed before they have concluded that red and processed meat were a positive cause for colon cancer, adding that eating fish would reduce a person's risk. [Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 15;97:906-16]

There were many researches involving omega 3 oil, that explains intake of fish can reduce the risk for colorectal cancer.

Doctors associated with the New York University Women's Health Study watched 14,727 women for 7 years. They found out that "a progressive decline in risk of colorectal cancer with increasing the intake of fish and shellfish."

Aside from that, they found that women who are inversely proportionate to the amount of calcium they consume also take a similar decline in its risk. This would mean that, a woman who takes most calcium will get the lowest risk.

As for this concern, they were not certain about the red meat connection as of those doctors in France were. In fact, the doctors in NYU said that the association of red meat to colorectal cancer still, "remains unclear." [Nutrition & Cancer, Vol.28:276-81]

Also, a study out of Harvard suggests that it's not the read meat and fats which causes the problem but our "western" lifestyle itself.

It was mentioned that obesity, being physically inactive, a person who has a diet how in vegetables and fruits while high in red meat and processed goods contributes most in giving you high levels of insulin in the blood!

They have hypothesized that the elevated blood insulin "promotes colon carcinogenesis" this is because, insulin is a "growth factor" that causes cellular division of the epithelial cells in our colon. [Cancer Causes & Control, Vol. 6, No. 2:164-79]

Curious what do we have to do to the colorectal cancer prevention and diet? It's pretty easy.

Stick in eating whole foods, with lots of green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, fiber rich foods, continuous use of unprocessed oils, intake of lean meat like fish and chicken, low fat dairy and lots of pure water.

The studies suggests that it is very important to cut way back on alcohol, start practicing stress management and be sure to exercise on a regular basis.

With these guidelines, you not only reduce the risk for colorectal cancer, but you reduce the risk of other cancer, heart diseases and diabetes too. In addition, you will also improve you vim, vigor and vitality. - 17268
