Keeping your Colon healthy

September 29th 2008 08:24

According to a large 22-year study, men who eat fish and shrimp five times a week have a 40 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer. Just get it broiled, not fried, and go light on the butter.

What’s Fish Got That Colons Love?
Researchers aren’t sure why frequently eating fish has such a protective effect on colon health. The omega-3 fatty acids and the vitamin D in fish might get the credit. Or it could simply be that fans of fish eat less red meat -- something known to raise colon cancer risk. Regardless, grab that mahimahi burger instead of the beef patty. Which fish is tops in omega-3s but lowest in mercury? Read this to find out.

Get Hooked
Eating finny food protects not only your colon but lots of other important body parts, too.

iI this true for men only, or do we girls also benefit from greater seafood-eating?

Apparently this study was only conducted with men, Wynona, so cannot, with certainty be applied to women, but oily fish twice weekly is the recommendation for everyone for their health, and not just for the colon.

Furthremore, you also might want to drink at least a bottle of Vitagen everyday to keep the colon staying in the fitness condition and don't even forget to go for a colonoscopy once a year!

I've not heard of that Wilson, and standards and treatments vary from country to country.

Lots of fibre is a recommendation.
