In honour of American actor, Chadwick Boseman, who died last week of colon cancer, we encourage you to implement these helpful tips to fight and prevent this disease, if they are not already a part of your dietary regimen. Colon cancer is reported to be the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.A. Taking precaution now against colon cancer is important and you can start by eating more whole foods containing fiber. These foods help to prevent colon polyps, which are abnormal growths in the colon that sometimes lead to colon cancer [The following is general information and is not medical advice. Please consult a medical professional before starting any treatment]:
Increase
Vegetables (dark green leafy and cruciferous): Kale, spinach, collard greens, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, arugula, brussels sprouts, cauliflower
Dried fruit
Seeds and nuts
Legumes (at least 3 times per week)
Whole grains: brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, oats, quinoa, barley, amaranth, flaxseed, buckwheat, spelt,
***Garlic (eating a clove per day can reportedly reduce your risk of colon cancer by 50%!)
Plant-based proteins, organic fish or poultry
Notable points: Green vegetables (leafy and otherwise) are high in anti-carcinogen compounds that inhibit the development of cancer and thereby help to decrease this risk. Whole grains contain psyllium which is a form of fiber and most commonly known as a laxative. It makes bowel movements easier and can promote regularity without increasing flatulence. It also has the ability to soften your stool provided you drink enough water.
Decrease
Red meat
Processed meats i.e. bacon, cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages, etc.
Refined sugar
Processed foods in general
Finally, we encourage you to read ingredients to be aware of what is in the foods you`re consuming. We hope this general information is helpful. Again, you should consult your doctor before using any of this information to treat a medical condition.
