52 Powerful Colon Cancer Salad Recipes: Fight Back Without Using Drugs or Medicine
By Joe Correa CSN
Colon cancer is defined as the abnormal growth and behavior of cells inside the final part of the digestive tract, the large intestine. In most cases, cancer starts as small, benign clumps of cells known as adenomatous polyps. These polyps usually don't produce any symptoms which is why colon cancer can hardly be discovered and treated on time. This is the reason why doctors usually recommend regular screening tests which help identify and remove polyps before they turn into cancer.
When left untreated, harmless adenomatous polyps transform into cancer which, just like all other types of cancers, can be a life-threatening condition. It is very important to identify colon cancer symptoms and prevent the disease from progressing.
These symptoms include:
- Significant and unexplained changes in your usual bowel habits such as stool consistency, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms usually last for over four weeks.
- Rectal bleeding and blood in the stool are serious symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored.
- Unexplained abdominal pain, gas and/or cramps.
- Unexplained weakness, weight loss and/or fatigue.
These symptoms are not common in the early stages of the disease which is why a regular medical check up is crucial.
There are also certain risk factors that may contribute to developing colon cancer. These factors include older age, inflammatory intestinal conditions, family history of colon cancer, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, obesity, smoking, and alcohol.
Scientists agree that there is a strong connection between low-fiber, high-fat diet and colon cancer.
