Description

Bowel cancer (also called colon or colorectal cancer) ranks as one of Australia’s most common cancers, especially for people aged over 50. This is one form of cancer where diet and lifestyle choices play a big part in changing a person’s risk of developing it. That actually makes it a good news story because lifestyle factors are changeable. In this podcast, I’ll outline the key lifestyle habits to consider looking at that could lower your risk of bowel cancer. Links referred to in the podcast WCRF information on diet, nutrition and physical activity and bowel cancer risk https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/colorectal-cancer WCRF update report on lifestyle factors and bowel cancer risk  https://www.wcrf.org/sites/default/files/CUP%20Colorectal%20Report_2017_Digital.pdf Meta-analysis of central adiposity and all-cause mortality https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3324Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
