According to the CDC, eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, increasing physical activity, avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol consumption may all reduce cancer risk, but the most effective way to reduce your risk of developing colorectal cancer is to get screened regularly, beginning at age 45. That's because almost all colorectal cancers begin as precancerous polyps inside the colon or rectum. Regular screenings can find those precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
Be sure to talk to your primary care provider about what screenings are appropriate for you. For more information about colorectal cancer, please visit: http://mh.care/mXxu50IiZZ0
