Description

  • Colon cancer often develops silently without early symptoms, making prevention through diet and lifestyle one of the most effective ways to protect yourself
  • Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts lowers your risk of colon cancer by about 17%
  • The strongest protection is reached with just 40 to 60 grams a day — about half a cup of cooked broccoli — making prevention simple and realistic
  • Compounds in cruciferous vegetables detoxify harmful chemicals, trigger cancer cell death, strengthen your colon lining, and support healthy gut microbes
  • Combining a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables with lifestyle steps such as reducing vegetable oils and environmental toxins, eating the right carbs, and exercising builds a strong daily shield against colon cancer
