March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Do you take care of yourself & get screened?
Colorectal cancer is common & lethal, but your risk can be significantly reduced by what you do. More than 150,000 Americans were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2011. About 50,000 people died from the disease, making it the second-most common cause of cancer death. The number of people getting colorectal cancer & the number dying from it is decreasing, because of screening.
There are a number of factors that affect your risk, such as your age & your family history. The majority of colon cancers occur after the age of 50, & those with a first-degree relative with a colorectal cancer history have double the risk of developing the disease themselves. But there are other risks you have control over. A diet rich in vegetables, an active lifestyle & maintaining a healthy weight significantly reduces your risk, while a high-fat diet, obesity & a sedentary lifestyle increases your risk.
Omnitrition® has a multitude of weight loss products including Omni Weight Loss Drops® that is fast & easy!		So eat a sensible diet low in red meat & high in fresh vegetables. Be physically active. And be sure to get screened!
We know that screening for colorectal cancer is very effective in reducing cancer deaths. There are several ways to get screened, including x-rays & checking the stool for blood each year. A colonoscopy is an evaluation of the colon with a scope while sedated. It is the most recommended method by many national societies, because it not only can detect cancer & polyps that grow to become cancer, but can also remove the polyps.
Omnitrition®, also has nutritional supplements that help prevent cancer including:
