F. Food and lifestyle changes
1. Quit smoking as it has been clearly linked with higher risk of cancer.
2. Take an aspirin or baby aspirin every day.
3. Because of potential side effects, you should consult your doctor first.
4. Take a safe dose of folic acid (for example, 1 mg) every day.
5. Engage in physical activity every day. 6. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables everyday.
7. Curcumin, a common spice derived from turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that inhibits genes involved in the growth and spread of cancer.
8. It also creates a gastrointestinal environment favourable to colon
health by reducing levels of natural secretions that contribute to colon cancer risk.
9. Garlic reduces carcinogenic potential of compounds such as nitrosamines and exerts anti-proliferative effects.
10. Aged garlic extract reduces the formation of pre-cancerous adenomas. 11. Key compounds in ginger limit the oxidative damage to cells caused by free radicals.
12. They also lower levels of cytokines that provoke an inflammatory response.
13. This dual action inhibits initiation of carcinogenesis and limits expansion of existing malignancies.
14. Red meat consumption should be avoided as it leads to a higher risk of colorectal cancer.
15. Green tea extract is known to have anti-cancer actions on growth, survival, angiogenesis and metastatic processes of cancer cells.
16. Heavy drinking increases your risk of colorectal cancer.
17. Exercise cuts the risk of colon cancer and polyps, and sedentary
living increases it.
18. Cardio work speeds up gut transit, the time taken for digested food to pass through the colon, and reduces the time carcinogens are around to mutate healthy cells.
G. Support Groups and Counseling
1. Many people feel anxious and depressed, some angry and resentful, while others feel helpless and defeated. 2. For most people with cancer, talking about their feelings and concerns with friends, family members and co-sufferers helps.
3. Support groups of people with cancer may be available through the medical center where you are receiving your treatment.
4. The Indian Cancer Society also has information about support groups all over India.
