While not all colorectal cancers can be prevented, several measures can reduce the risk:
Regular Screening: Starting at age 50, or earlier if there are risk factors. Healthy Diet: High in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in red and processed meats. Regular Exercise: Helps maintain a healthy weight and reduces risk. Avoiding Tobacco and Limiting Alcohol: Both are known risk factors for many cancers. Managing Health Conditions: Keeping conditions like diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease under control.
