Family members suffer from colorectal cancer due to poor diet

Colorectal cancer is the fastest-growing cancer in my country, and the number of young and middle-aged patients has increased significantly. Among the various risk factors of colorectal cancer, diet has the most direct impact. Therefore, couples and family members may suffer from colorectal cancer at the same time because they have the same eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles, which subtly damage the health of both parties.

Data show that a diet high in fat, animal protein, refined carbohydrates, and fiber can induce colorectal cancer. In addition, eating smoked, grilled, and fried foods, drinking strong alcohol frequently, and long-term lack of exercise, constipation, overweight, and obesity can increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It can be said with certainty that colorectal cancer is caused by eating.

In addition, whole grains such as corn, millet, barley, wheat bran and wheat flour contain more fiber; vegetables such as carrots, green beans, peas and potatoes are also high-energy foods containing cellulose. This is why sweet potatoes are called the champion of anti-cancer foods. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat more potatoes, fish and bean products, especially whole grains such as wheat and bran-preserved flour, which are high in fiber, which are beneficial to prevent colon cancer.
