Colon cancer A deadly disease caused by unhealthy lifestyle

Colon cancer: A deadly disease caused by unhealthy lifestyle 

      Colon cancer is a serious disease ranked as the third most common cancer in men and the fifth in women. Its primary causes often stem from our daily lifestyle, particularly dietary habits. While "there is no greater joy than eating" may be a familiar saying, certain foods we love and consume frequently can contribute to the risk of developing colon cancer.

• Genetic predisposition or abnormal genes, especially if there is a family history of cancer
  
•  Smoking and consuming alcoholic beverages
  
•  Eating high-fat foods
  
•  Low fiber intake or excessive consumption of red meat
  
• Consuming processed foods like sausages and ham
  
•  History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease and obesity
  
•  Prolonged sitting without movement

•  Blood in stool or stools mixed with blood
•  Alternating constipation and diarrhea
•  Feeling a lump in the abdomen; consult a doctor immediately
•  Inability to pass stool or gas, which could indicate a tumor blocking the intestine. This is an emergency that may lead to a ruptured intestine and fatal complications. Immediate hospital care is essential.

      Eating is one of life's pleasures, but maintaining your health is equally important. Make a habit of choosing nutritious foods and avoiding those that could harm your body to prevent severe diseases like colon cancer. Good health starts with the choices on your plate. Take the first step to care for yourself today for a longer, healthier life.
