Eat Less Red Meat :-

Studies show that eating red meat “frequently” increases the incidence of colon cancer. Eating red meat daily, and especially more than one serving per day, increases risk.

Plant based diets show the lowest risk (1). Increased risk is associated with increased inflammation associated with chemicals released by digestion of red meat. These chemicals increase damage to and inhibit the repair of DNA (genetic material) in the cells lining your intestines. (2) Damage to DNA is a primary cause of all cancers.

Eat A Rainbow of Plant Antioxidants :-

The deep, bright colors of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices contribute a wide variety of antioxidants to the diet.

Examples of antioxidant rich, deeply pigmented foods are blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, carrots, apricots, canteloupe, kale, broccoli, spinach, avocado, tomato, apples, red cabbage, red and purple grapes, pink grapefruit, tumeric, saffron, oregano, sage, and rosemary.

Ginger :-

Ginger can reduce the symptoms of colon cancer to a greater extent and thus reduces the risk of colon cancer naturally. Green has powerful antioxidants called catechin polyphenols. Regular consumption of green tea can kill initial stage colon tumors developed in your body.

Fibrous Foods :-

It is very important for you to consume a considerable measure of raw vegetables and fruits that are rich in fiber content so as to battle against the issues that are brought about in the body by colon cancer. 

An increase in the consumption of raw fibrous vegetables will help in restoring your well-being by uprooting the illness of the colon.

Flax Seed :-

The yellow and brown colored flax seeds are rich in proteins. The flax seeds are rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients lignin, fibers, and alpha linolenic acid. These compounds restrain the growth of colon cancer and breast effectively. Flaxseed contains lignans, which cover up intestinal bacteria and converts them into phytoestrogens.

Regular consumption of flax seed cleanses the colon and removes the unwanted wastes and toxins accumulated in the colon. Flaxseeds also prevent the formation and development of colon polyps’ and maintain the overall health of the colon, thus it prevents colon cancer.

Turmeric :-

Turmeric, a curry spice used in Indian traditional medicine, is a potent natural cure for colon cancer. Turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin, is found to be beneficial in fighting cancer cells of the skin, breast and colon.

Curcumin could get rid of colon cancer by blocking the activity of the hormone neurotensin, which is involved in the development of colon cancer. To make your own natural cure for colon cancer, boil one teaspoon of freshly ground turmeric powder in a cup of water, and strain. Drink the extract three times a day for six months.

Maintain a Healthy Weight :-

Except for smoking, nothing else raises the overall risk of cancer more than being overweight. At least 11 different cancers have been linked to weight gain and obesity, including colon cancer. An ideal goal is to weigh around what you did when you were 18 years old. Realistically, if you’ve put on weight, the first goal is to stop gaining weight, which has health benefits by itself. Then, for a bigger health boost, slowly work to lose some pounds.

Be Physically Active :-

It’s hard to beat regular activity. It lowers the risk of many serious diseases, including colon cancer, and provides a good mental boost. Any amount of physical activity is better than none, but it’s good to aim for around 30 minutes or more of moderate activity each day. Choose things you enjoy, like brisk walking, cycling, dancing or gardening.

Get Enough Calcium and Vitamin D :-

There is good evidence that getting enough calcium and vitamin D can help protect against colon cancer. Shoot for 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams per day of calcium and about 1,000 international units (IU) per day of vitamin D. Some groups recommend testing for vitamin D deficiency, especially in those with increased risk of low levels, such as those living in northern parts of the country as well as elderly people, very overweight people and people with darker skin.

Don’t Smoke :-

It hardly needs saying anymore, but not smoking is the single best thing you can do for your health. On top of raising the risk of serious diseases like heart disease, stroke and emphysema, smoking is a major cause of at least 14 different cancers, including colon cancer. If you do smoke, quitting has real benefits, which start shortly after your last cigarette. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit smokefree.gov for help. Talking to a doctor can double your chance of success.
