Amid rising rates of bowel cancer cases in people under the age of 50, researchers have asked people to increase fiber intake and improve their eating habits.
“We found that a diet rich in healthy fats and vegetables and limiting sugar and alcohol intake reduced the risk of bowel and other cancers,” study senior author Johannes Melaku, from the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute (FHMRI), said in a media release. The risk can be reduced.”
Further, “Unhealthy dietary patterns, including high intakes of red and processed meat, fast food, refined grains, alcohol, and sugary beverages, present a worrying association with increased risk of GI cancer.”
According to the World Health Organization, digestive cancers, including cancers of the bowel, colon, stomach and pancreas, account for 26 percent of the global burden of cancer incidence and 35 percent of all cancer-related deaths.
New research finds that high-fiber foods promote healthy gut bacteria, which may reduce inflammation. It found that people with a healthy diet had better outcomes when they developed GI cancer than those with an unhealthy diet.
Melaku said the findings suggest that making healthy eating choices can be a good step towards protecting long-term health.
