Six tips from the Beating Bowel Cancer website:
1 Reduce red and processed meats as there is strong evidence of a link to bowel cancer
2 Eat lots of fibre although those with IBS should be careful
3 Exercise, as good core muscles keep the colon in place enabling a smooth and easy transit. Exercise also keeps the weight down
4 Reduce alcohol
5 Stop smoking as it increases the risk
6 After smoking, maintaining a healthy weight is the next best thing you can do for yourself
