Episode 26: Colon cancer prevention tips
SHOW NOTES:
March is colon cancer awareness month so we dedicated this episode to tips you can implement to reduce your risk of colon or rectal cancers. Unfortunately colon and rectal cancers are on the rise in the younger population which has caused a decrease in the recommended screening age. I have seen people in their 20's get diagnosed so it is not a cancer that affects the older population anymore . It is important to know your risk and what you can do to reduce that risk. In this episode we will discuss the following risk factors you can change such as:
maintaining a healthy weight
what the best foods are to eat
how physical activity plays a role
reducing stress
reducing environmental chemicals
the role gut health plays
Tune in to learn so much more about all of the amazing things you can do day to day to stay healthy and reduce your risk of this type of cancer.
