Proactive colorectal health is essential for preventing colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer worldwide. Key strategies include:
Diet and Exercise: Adopt a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains while limiting red and processed meats. Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly.
Lifestyle Choices: Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking, as these factors can increase colorectal cancer risk.
Screening: Begin regular screenings at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or related genetic conditions.
Recognizing Symptoms: Be vigilant for signs such as visible blood in stool, anemia, fatigue, abdominal pain, unintentional weight loss, and changes in bowel habits.
