Preventing Colon Cancer

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon (large intestine) and rectum) is currently the 2nd most common cancer among men and women. It usually starts as a polyp, which is a small growth in the walls of the colon. Most polyps are benign, but as they grow, can become malignant and develop into colon cancer.

Lack of Symptoms

Colon cancer can be deadly because it exhibits no outward symptoms in the early stages. By the time there are symptoms, the cancer has probably spread to other parts of the body. Detecting colon cancer at the early stage increases the chances of treating it.

Some Telltale Signs
  • Blood in the stools. Diarrhea or constipation for no obvious reason, lasting longer than 6 weeks
  • A feeling of not having emptied the bowel properly after a bowel motion
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Pain in the abdomen (frequent gas pains, bloating, fullness, cramps)
  • Constant tiredness
  • Vomiting
Risk Factors
  • Age - 50 years and above.
  • Family history - your risk is higher if your parents / siblings have colon cancer or polyps.
  • Unhealthy diet - high in fat and calories and low in fibre.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle - smoking, alcohol intake, sedentary lifestyle, overweight.
  • Personal history of cancer - women who had cancer of the ovary, uterus or breast are more like to develop colon cancer.

How to Reduce the Risk
  • Ensure regular check-ups if above 50 years old. Check-ups may include a physical examination, a faecal occult blood test, a colonoscopy, chest X-rays and lab tests.
  • Maintain a healthy diet. A balanced, nutritious diet will keep you healthy and cope with the cancer and side effects of treatment.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking.
Colon cancer is a preventable disease. Act now to prevent colon cancer.

    Does Thinking Younger Help?

    When I was a little girl, each morning I awoke thinking “I cannot wait until I get to my 20's for that American dream”. Marriage, children, big house, and possibly a really beautiful, big dog in the back of my car. Well, I did the marriage thing in my 20's, but didn’t get around to the children thing until I was in my late 30's.

    Thanks

    Very good article, Ping, well researched and to the point. I would add that colonoscopy is an absolutely essential part of turning 50 if you have had no family history of colorectal cancer. Earlier if you have.

    On healthy diet, a high proportion of plant-based food especially fibre is important for a healthy colon. Alternative health experts recommends colon cleansing. Regular consumption of aleo vera supports healthy gut.

Bits & Bites #205 - Health: Painkillers, Gastric and Drugs Side Effects

Image
P lease email  askfuiping@gmail.com  if you want to buy Shuang Hor products for your health. Marks One of the side effects of  Painkillers  (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen) is causing gastric and stomach  ulcers . These drugs cause ulcers by interfering with the stomach's ability to protect itself from stomach acids. Our stomach naturally produces an enzyme called COX-1 which helps prevent ulcers by enhancing blood flow to the stomach and increasing the production of protective mucous. Painkillers block the COX-1 enzyme from being produced. Thus taking painkillers over the long term can cause ulcers, as the stomach is more vulnerable to attacks by stomach acid. How can you counter that? Mix 2 sachets  Jia Hor Soya Protein  into 300 ml warm water. Shake and drink at the same time as eating the painkiller medication. Do not consume painkillers with cold water. ------------------------------------ People whose  digestive  system is weak s...
