  Exercise: Regular exercise can help maintain a healthy body and weight, which lowers the risk of colon cancer. Aim for 150 minutes of activity weekly, or 20 to 30 minutes daily.

The article from CNET discusses colon cancer, detailing its signs, risk factors, and ways to reduce the likelihood of developing it. It highlights that colon cancer, which often begins as small, non-cancerous polyps in the large intestine, can be symptomless in its early stages, making regular screening crucial. Symptoms when they do appear might include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss. Risk factors include age (over 50), family history, personal history of polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and lifestyle choices like a diet high in red or processed meats, low in fiber, smoking, heavy alcohol use, and lack of physical activity. To reduce the risk, the article suggests maintaining a healthy weight, adopting a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, limiting red and processed meats, exercising regularly, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and undergoing regular screenings like colonoscopies, especially if one has risk factors. The article emphasizes the importance of early detection through screening, which can significantly increase the chances of successful treatment.
