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.
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]
