[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]According to statistics from the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, colorectal cancer has ranked first in the top ten cancers for 15 consecutive years.In this regard, nutritionist Yang Sihan posted on Facebook“The Delicious Life of Nutritionist Yang Sihan”The article pointed out that colorectal cancer is closely related to dietary habits, such as supplementing enough dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and Mediterranean diet, can prevent colorectal cancer. Processed red meat and high-fat diet are risk factors for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal Cancer Prevention Diet
●Dietary fiber:Dietary fiber from vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by increasing the volume of defecation, reducing contact with intestinal toxic substances, producing short-chain fatty acids through fermentation, and providing energy sources for intestinal probiotics. The Ministry of Health and Welfare recommends that Chinese people consume 25-30 grams of dietary fiber per day.
●Antioxidants, phytochemicals:Some studies have pointed out that antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, have the ability to scavenge free radicals, which can help reduce intestinal nitroso compounds and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
●Vitamin D, calcium, selenium:The mechanism of vitamin D is the same as that of calcium, which can reduce the proliferation of cancer cells, but whether vitamin D supplementation can reduce the incidence of cancer is still lack of research. Selenium is anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and reduces intestinal oxides.
●Omega-3 fatty acids:EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have found that giving high-dose omega-3 fatty acid supplements to patients with colorectal cancer can reduce mortality.
●Mediterranean diet:A diet rich in olive oil, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and white meat can reduce the risk of cancer (including colorectal cancer).
colorectal cancer risk factors
●Irreversible age:Fecal occult blood screening can be regularly strengthened every 2 years after the age of 50.
●Life habits:Smoking, drinking, etc. Smoking harmful substances not only affect the lungs, but also affect the intestinal tract as the body circulates.
●Red meat processed products and high-fat diet:Red meat is not the main cause of colorectal cancer, it can be taken in moderation and combined with antioxidants such as fiber. Maintaining a balanced diet is the primary anti-cancer diet.
