REDUCING COLORECTAL CANCER RISK. Colorectal cancer is the sec- ond leading cause of cancer-re- lated death in the United States. To reduce your risk, take the following steps: *Get screened- Colonoscopy can identify and remove pre- cancerous polyps before they turn cancerous. Early screening greatly improves the outcome. Most people begin screening at age 50, but talk with your doc- tor. *Minimize meats- Animal fat and compounds found in red meat, charred or processed meats are associated with in- creased risk. *Eat plant-based foods CHAIR FITNESS FREE at Healthy U, Tues/Thurs from 1 - 1:45 p.m. 535 E. River St., Cave Junction Call 541- 592-4888 or visit www. healthyucenter.org. Sponsored by I.V. Wellness Resources - whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants and fiber, both of which may reduce cancer risk. *Limit alcohol and don’t smoke - limit alcohol to no more than two drinks a day for men under 65, and one drink a day for women and anyone over 65 years. *Maintain a healthy weight- Obesity, particularly around the midsection, is related to increased risk of polyp develop- ment and higher risk of dying of colorectal cancer. *Exercise for at least 30 minutes most days- Studies have shown a 50 percent reduction in incidence of colorectal cancer in those who are physically active.
