Prevention is always better than cure, and for colon health multiple nutrients have been studied, revealing that plant and fish nutrients play an especially important role.
Higher Vitamin D levels are associated with reduced colorectal cancer incidence. This is likely because vitamin D has immune-supportive functions. It may also reduce the chronic inflammation that can promote cancer development.
Folic acid is important in protecting DNA strands from damage, and has been shown to reduce colorectal cancer risk by 42% in people with inflammatory bowel disease, a group at high risk for this type of cancer.
Calcium appears to factor heavily in colon cancer prevention. In a large Korean study, people with the highest 25% of calcium intake had 84% reduction in colon cancer risk, compared with those with the lowest 25% intake
Fish oil, rich in omega-3, is a potent inhibitor of inflammation throughout the body, making it a natural fit for healthy cells.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a natural antioxidant. Studies have shown that people who had colon polyps removed & then took NAC supplements had 40% reduction in recurrence. To discuss your health concerns call Sunshine Coast Nutritionist and Kinesiologist Karen Emans on 0408748532
