What Causes Colon Cancer?
5 to 10% of colon cancers are caused by genetics, 35% by an unhealthy diet, whereas 30% are caused by smoking, and 20% by infections. The rest of colon cancer cases happen due to some of the following reasons:
Lack of fruits and veggies in the diet
Fresh fruits and veggies have potent antioxidants and magnesium which can lower the chance of colon cancer. Moreover, the phytochemicals which they contain can decrease tissue inflammation and eliminate cancerous substances. Therefore, consume more green leafy veggies, plums, and apples.
Lack of fiber
Fiber from food is known to better the digestion, so, adding 10 grams to your diet, lowers the risk of cancer by 10%! You can consume plums, flaxseed, and Chia seeds.
Low levels of vitamin D
In order to increase the levels of vitamin D, we need the sunlight; however, there are also supplements and also foods which naturally contain this vitamin.
