Reducing Colon Cancer Risks Through Diet

A significant strategy for lowering the chances of colon cancer is by improving dietary habits, emphasizing the importance of fiber intake. Consuming at least 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily can help sweep intestines clean and provide vital nutrients to gut microbiomes. Fruits and vegetables are highlighted for their anti-inflammatory properties, as they contain antioxidants and polyphenols which also support gut health. Care should also be taken to avoid processed meats and fried foods, which have been shown to be carcinogenic and inflammatory.
