What lifestyles are closely related to the occurrence of colon cancer

High calorie intake, especially intake of foods rich in red meat, increases the risk of colon cancer. Other foods, such as white meat like chicken and fish, help prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer. Dietary fiber includes cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, lignin, etc., which have the ability to absorb water, increase stool volume, dilute the concentration of residues in the intestine, and shorten the time for stool to pass through the large intestine, thereby reducing the chance of contact between carcinogens and the large intestinal mucosa, thereby reducing the exposure of carcinogens to the colon mucosa and having a protective effect. A high-fat diet is also believed to be closely related to the occurrence of colon cancer. Too little exercise and smoking are also related to the occurrence of colon cancer. Exercise promotes intestinal peristalsis, thereby reducing the exposure of the mucosa to carcinogens. Smoking significantly promotes adenoma.

Red meat: refers to meat that is red before cooking. Specifically, meat from mammals such as pork, beef, lamb, venison, and rabbit are all red meat.

White meat: Meat from non-mammals such as birds (chicken, duck, goose, turkey, etc.), fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans (shrimp, crabs, etc.) or bivalves (oysters, clams, etc.) are all white meat.
