Other things we can do to prevent Bowel Cancer?
Besides cutting out the meat, there are other things we can do to ensure we don't have to suffer from this horrible form of cancer.
Eating a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables, especially when eaten raw, is the most essential thing we can do for our health. Those that are rich in fibre are especially good for the behind. The fruits and vegetables that are highest in fibre include:
* Avocados
* Peas
* Broccoli
* Brussels sprouts
* Cabbage
* Carrot
* Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans
* Eggplant
* Greens - collards, kale, turnip greens
* Mushrooms
* Pumpkin
* Peppers
* Rhubarb
* Spinach
* Sweet Potatoes
Regular exercise, healthy eating and a positive attitude are generally known to stave off all forms of cancer.
Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet
According to studies, vegetarians enjoy better health than people that eat meat. In addition to lower rates of cancer, they also have lower rates of coronary artery disease, gallstones, cancer, kidney stones, colon disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. A vegetarian is also less likely to be overweight than a non-vegetarian.
Switching to a vegetarian diet has actually been shown to help cure these diseases. In 1961, the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that ninety to ninety-seven percent of heart disease, the cause of more than half the deaths in the United States, could be prevented by a vegetarian diet.
The American Heart Association report states, "In well-documented population studies using standard methods of diet and coronary disease assessment... evidence suggests that a high-saturated-fat diet is an essential factor for a high incidence of coronary heart disease."
