Diet can have a protective effect on the intestines. Dr. Joseph Salhab has identified six readily available foods that may help lower the risk of developing cancer.

Dr. Salhab emphasized that while maintaining a healthy diet is crucial, it should not replace medical check-ups. If you experience any alarming symptoms—such as changes in stool, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss—it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly.

The physician also noted that colon cancer is increasingly affecting younger individuals, particularly those under 50. The reasons for this trend remain unclear, but experts speculate that factors such as environmental influences, food additives, and microplastics could be contributing factors.
