Danger of Junk Food

HealthDaysNews new site has recently been reported this year in the United States (U.S.) only 57 000 people died in force colon cancer. The majority (98 percent) of its victims are those who are older than 40 years. Indonesia has not been detected in patients with certainty. However, hospital Cipto (RSCM) said Jakarta annually receive 50 new patients with colon cancer.

In such a high risk of colon cancer is lurking at the point in the U.S. in March has been designated as the month vigilance against colon cancer. It is popularly attributed to the large number of people in the us who consume fast food actually very low in fiber. For those who already have symptoms of colon cancer, are required to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and iron. "But the most important thing is discipline," said Dr. David A. Johnson, head of the gastrieoterologi of the Eastern Virginia School of Medicine.

That is potentially subject to colon cancer? Of course, they are usually eating fatty foods such as presented in the fast-food restaurants. Fatty foods such as hamburgers, fried chicken, French fries, and so would simply slow the transit time of food. Carcinogens in the diet had to be settled in along the intestinal wall to trigger the growth of cancer there.

Research on the relationship between fiber consumption with prevention of colon cancer is continuously performed in many countries. The latest discoveries in 2003 in Europe, noted that increased consumption of fiber in the European Community up to 30 grams a day earlier only 15 grams per day can reduce the risk, proved to be the formation of bowel cancer can to 40 percent.

Early Detection
The best part is, at the age between 30-40 years began to see a doctor. This is useful for early detection of growth of colon cancer. The symptoms of cancer is almost similar to diarrhea, namely the presence of blood in the stool. Later symptoms include pale, sick in general, malnutrition, weak, thin, fluid in the abdominal cavity, liver enlargement, and enlargement of the spleen channel.

If she has found signs that the doctor would take action in the form of tests of colonoscopy, sigmoidoskopi or blood. Colonoscopy is a procedure for inserting a tube length of the camera into the colon through the anus. From here you can clearly see which parts are already living with cancer. Although sigmoidoskopi is a similar procedure is almost limited to monitor parts of the intestine is called sigmoid.

Instead of having to follow the procedure "horrible" as above, would not we should become familiar with a healthy diet? Really easy, the key word is fibrous foods. Fibrous foods many merits. Fiber is part of the plant can be absorbed completely, adding the mass of feces. This will trigger the movement of fecal matter in the colon, resulting in regular bowel movements.

With a lot of fibrous foods, then schedule the stool will be more organized. Regular bowel movements will shorten the duration of stool in the intestine to minimize the absorption of harmful substances through the intestinal wall. This will reduce the risk of bowel cancer are at a later date. The fiber can be obtained from rice, vegetables, brown rice, wheat, peanuts, popcorn, and certainly from vegetables and fruits. Of course, all foods, it is much cheaper than the price of food in fast food restaurants.
