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

- 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.
