Daily Diet Changes May considerably Lower Colon Cancer risk, Says NHS Surgeon
London, UK – Simple adjustments to daily food intake – incorporating beans, berries, avocados, and black coffee - can substantially reduce the risk of developing colon cancer, according to an NHS surgeon’s recent insights.Dr. Rajan, speaking on social media, highlighted the protective benefits of these readily available foods, emphasizing the power of gut health and fibre in cancer prevention.
The surgeon explained that prebiotics, found in certain foods, nourish gut bacteria and produce protective metabolites in the colon, linking to a lower risk of the disease. Increasing daily fibre intake is also crucial; research suggests it significantly decreases colon cancer risk, with just 10 extra grams a day – equivalent to half an avocado and a cup of mixed berries – possibly lowering risk by 10%. many individuals currently fall short of thier recommended daily fibre target, making conscious dietary changes particularly impactful.
Dr.Rajan specifically recommends starting the day with beans, especially for those who frequently consume processed red meats. He further noted that both caffeinated and decaf black coffee are rich in polyphenols and prebiotic fibres, offering a protective affect against DNA damage in colon cells. Studies indicate high coffee intake is associated with a 15 to 21% lower risk of colon cancer compared to non-drinkers.
These findings underscore the importance of proactive dietary choices in maintaining colon health and potentially preventing a disease that affects thousands annually.
