  • A gastrointestinal doctor reveals the mistakes you should avoid if you want to lower your risk of colon cancer.

The article on MSN, written by a colorectal cancer doctor, outlines five practices the author would personally avoid to minimize the risk of colorectal cancer. Firstly, the doctor would never ignore symptoms like changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, or persistent abdominal discomfort, emphasizing the importance of early detection. Secondly, they would not skip regular screenings, particularly colonoscopies, which are crucial for catching precancerous polyps early. Thirdly, the doctor would avoid a diet high in red and processed meats, known to increase cancer risk, instead opting for a diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Fourth, they would never underestimate the importance of physical activity, as regular exercise can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Lastly, the doctor would not smoke or engage in excessive alcohol consumption, both of which are linked to higher cancer risks. The article stresses the significance of lifestyle choices and preventive measures in reducing the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer.
