Last 39: Reducing the risk of colorectal cancer by eating
Limit red meats such as beef, lamb, eat more fiber, limiting alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking is the way cancer prevention Colon most effective.
Cancer really has become a burden to society. In Vietnam, colorectal cancer is one type of cancer is very common and is the direct cause-related deaths from the disease.
Prevention of cancer is the best way, rather than trying to find identify how to treat the disease once it occurs. Was preventing research scientists and attention from so long, in order to identify and prevent the risk factors.
At present, with many achievements in science, oncology experts identified the causes and risk factors. Has over 40% of cancer patients can be prevented by vaccines like hepatitis shots B to prevent liver cancer, and HPV (Human Papiloma Virus) in the prevention of cervical cancer ...
And many kinds No cancer vaccines, we can still be prevented, such as through eating habits that prevent colorectal cancer. Most cancers have a long development process, the pathogenesis is dependent susceptibility and exposure to risk factors throughout the life of each person. Excluding factors genetic risk on a small number of patients with colorectal cancer, the majority of colorectal cancers are caused by lifestyle habits and diet.
The risk factors related colorectal cancer that people can prevent are:
red meats such as beef, lamb: Many studies show that consuming meat will increase the risk of cancer. Consume about 160 g / day or diet with meat five times a week will do risk more than tripled. In the form of fried, baked, semi-processed meats like bacon, ham, sausage ... protein itself will increase the carcinogenic factors; fat of red meat also be converted by bacteria inside the intestine into carcinogens, resulting in increased production of epithelial cells in the intestine abnormalities leading to diseases.
Eat more meat, fat, protein, less fiber can lead to obesity and risk factors for colorectal cancer. Dietary fiber content will increase folic acid consumption, which leads to the exclusion from the intestinal lumen reduces time soon because stagnant feces. In addition, fiber reduces the pH inside the colon and increases production of short chain fatty acids and trace elements help fight the phenomenon of oxide.
The alcoholic drinks to use them with the amount of 15 g / day will increase the risk of cancer.
Cigarettes are known as "killer" of heart disease or lung cancer, which has recently been recognized as risk factors are important causes of colorectal cancer especially when combined with alcohol.
Obesity also increases the risk of colorectal cancer for both men and women, but men are especially visible. Men have a higher body mass index will have twice the risk, while in obese women than 1.5 times the risk. Physical activity, movement or exercise will reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, on the basis of preventing obesity and reducing stagnant time inside the colon.
Above are factors can control, but besides that there are also factors causing higher risk that we can not control, such as age. More than half of cancers occur in older people. One point to note is that life expectancy is increasing, so we always face the risk factors for colorectal cancer. The identification of risk factors is very important so that preventive measures more actively.
