Dr. Donnica:
There are several steps you can take to reduce your risk of colon cancer.  The most important is to have regular screening tests.  Other steps include:

  • Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water per day.
  • Eating 5 servings a day of fruits and vegetables.
  • Increase your dietary fiber.
  • Get regular aerobic exercise
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Limit alcohol intake
  • Studies have also shown that in women, birth control pill usage and hormone replacement therapy can reduce colon cancer risk.
