Cancer is the leading cause of death in humans.

The main problem that makes cancer so scary is that cancer diagnosed based on symptoms is usually in an advanced stage that has lost the chance of cure.

Therefore, prevention of cancer is far more important than treatment.

Colorectal cancer is the most preventable cancer.

Among them, a healthy diet is particularly important for the prevention of colon cancer.

Risk factors for colon cancer include:

The risk increases with age, being over 50; family history; colon polyps; inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease; smoking; unhealthy diet; obesity; lack of physical activity; and heavy drinking.

In addition to smoking and drinking, diet, weight, and exercise are the most easily modifiable colon cancer risk factors through lifestyle changes.

Inactivity is a recognized risk factor for colon cancer.

Colon cancer is one of 7 cancers linked to lack of exercise. Evidence shows that simply following general exercise recommendations of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week is enough to significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Obesity is the most important risk factor for colon cancer.

Research shows that obesity can increase the risk of colon cancer through multiple mechanisms, including increased blood insulin levels, insulin resistance, and more.
