The most important measures to prevent colon cancer

When it comes to colon cancer prevention , most people still have little knowledge about this aspect of colon cancer. So, how can we inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer? Next, let's learn about it from the following article.

1. Regular check-ups are one of the preventive measures for colon cancer. People at high risk of colon cancer, such as men over 40 years old, patients with familial multiple intestinal polyps, patients with ulcerative colitis, patients with chronic schistosomiasis, and people with a family history of colorectal cancer, should have regular check-ups and be alert to the signs and early symptoms of colon cancer, such as changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody or black stools, and flatter and thinner stools.

2. Improvement of eating habits is also needed in the prevention of colon cancer. Rationally arrange daily diet, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates and crude fiber, appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains and whole grains in the staple food, and do not eat too fine or refined food. Change the habit of eating meat and high-protein foods as the staple food. Colon cancer patients need to eat less high-fat foods, especially to control the intake of animal fat. Therefore, a high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber diet produces more carcinogens, which act on the large intestine for a long time, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the incidence of colon cancer.

3. Actively prevent and treat intestinal diseases and take physical exercise. Prevent various polyps, chronic enteritis (including ulcerative colitis), schistosomiasis, chronic dysentery, etc. Intestinal polyps should be treated early. This can also prevent colon cancer.
