The Influence of Exercise, Red Meat and Alcohol on Colorectal Cancer


Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmacy - July 11, 2009

  • Recent research suggests you can reduce your risk of colorectal cancer ( colon cancer and rectal cancer ) by increasing exercise and decreasing red meat and alcohol. 

 
Colorectal cancer risk is decreased by exercise, and increased with red meat and alcohol. A high intake of red and processed meats, smoking and diabetes each were associated with a 20 percent increase in the risk of colorectal cancer. People who exercised the most had a 20 percent decreased risk of colorectal cancer compared to those that don’t exercise.

People who averaged a drink a day or more had a 60 percent higher risk of colorectal cancer.

Processed meats include sandwich and canned meats. Processed meats often contain nitrites and nitrates which are known risk factors for colon cancer. If you choose to consume these meats read the ingredient labels and try to find preservative free (nitrate and nitrite free) meats. It’s healthier to use whole meats cooked at home and sliced for your sandwich.

The fats in red meat stimulate the production of inflammation chemicals in your body. The inflammation chemicals stimulate the growth of most cancers. Red meat sources include beef and swine. Healthier choices of red meat include free range sources.

Beer and distilled drinks appear to increase the risk of colon cancer to a greater extent than other alcoholic drinks.[1]  Beer causes a higher rate of colorectal cancer than wine. Consuming more than 30 gm of alcohol each day appears to increase the risk of colorectal cancer.[2]
