Disclosure of a diet that reduces the risk of bowel cancer by 20% • Al Marsad Journal

Exclusive translation: A study found that men who ate a diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, beans and lentils can reduce their risk of bowel cancer by more than 20%.

Scientists have revealed that men have a higher risk of developing the disease overall, according to reports published by the British Daily Mail.

“We speculate that the antioxidants found in vegetables and whole grains may help reduce the risk of bowel cancer by suppressing chronic inflammation that can lead to cancer,” said lead researcher Jaehye Kim, of Kyung Hee University, South Korea.

The paper pointed out that the men in the study were 60 years old, while the women were 59 years old.

And Kim said: “Cancer of the colon and rectum (bowel) is the third most common type of cancer worldwide, and the lifetime risk of developing it is one in 23 for men and one in 25 for women, but the study didn’t show its findings on women as clearly as men.

And he explained why eating more amounts of healthy plant foods is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in men and not in women, saying: Because men tend to be more susceptible to this disease.
