Colon Health For Men



Listen up gents. There's something you need to know about your health and risk factors for

a common cancer. New evidence suggests that men are twice as likely to develop

colorectal cancer at an earlier age than women. And the kicker - it's

usually preventable.

What's more, evidence also suggests that inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract might

increase risk of this killer of men. Considering that Digestive Science Intensive 

Colon Cleanse
is specifically formulated to nurture the GI tract and reduce this
inflammation, there's no excuse to live with the elevated chance of this horrible way to

go.


About the Study



According to a new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical 

Association
, men between 45 and 49 frequently develop the advanced polyp, called an
adenoma, that can lead to colorectal cancer. That's a decade earlier than

women, and surprised many experts in the medical community.

The study, conducted by Austrian researchers between 2007 and 2010, consisted of 44,350

men and women with an average age of 60. Each participant underwent a

colonoscopy, in which a small camera is inserted up the rectum and into the

colon to check for cancerous and precancerous growths.

Unpleasant, yes. But the colonoscopy is considered the gold standard in detection of

colorectal cancer. In the Austrian study, just over 60% of participants had a clean slate,

with no abnormalities detected.

Yet 18.5% of men aged 50 to 54 had adenomas compared to 10.7% of women in the same age

bracket. Men were twice as likely to develop advanced adenomas at a younger age and, yes,

twice as likely to get diagnosed with colorectal cancer as women.

    

What is Colorectal Cancer?



Colorectal cancer is a cancer of the colonrectum

or vermiform appendix; it is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the

world.

Estimates suggest that 100,000 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed in 2011,

with roughly 50,000 deaths. While cases emerge globally, it is more common in developed

countries. Risk factors include:

  • polyps of the colon




  • family history of cancer




  • smoking




  • a diet high in red meat, low in fruits and vegetables




  • physical inactivity




  • low levels of selenium


  • Not surprisingly, many of these factors can also inflame the delicate lining of the

    gastrointestinal tract. With symptoms including constipation and diarrhea, gas and bloating,

    fatigue and poor nutrient absorption, it's not an extraordinary leap from this common ailment

    to increased risk of colorectal cancer. And as we've seen, that risk might appear earlier in

    men than once anticipated.

    Early screening can improve one's chances of survival. Studies show that, in the United

    Kingdom, 90% of patients survive beyond five years if it's treated in the first or second

    stage.

    Rates of survival plunge beyond the second stage, with a roughly 50% chance of five years

    or more at stage three, and less than seven per cent at stage four.


    How Intensive Colon Cleanse Might Help



    Digestive Science Intensive Colon Cleanse is strategically formulated for colon health and

    good digestive function. If you're at risk of colorectal cancer, as many Americans are,

    consider the following points:

    First, Intensive Colon Cleanse employs the latest in digestive research for ongoing health

    of your digestive system. With its three part natural therapy, of a ten-day gentle cleanse,

    probiotic support and an ongoing fiber and nutrient supplement, it's ideal to soothe

    inflammation of the GI tract so often suffered from the wear-and-tear of our hectic

    schedules.

    Second, unlike most colon cleanse systems, Intensive Colon Cleanse doesn't blast the colon

    with harsh laxatives. Rather, it's a gentle process, of beneficial vitamins and nutrients,

    including magnesium, selenium and the super-food chia. Evidence suggests that among other

    things, selenium deficiencies may increase risk of colorectal cancer.

    Finally, when you listen to your body, and watch your colon health, it's fair to say

    you're aware of colorectal cancer and you're more likely to pursue the recommended

    colonoscopy that's so important in detection of this common disease. And if the results of

    the Austrian study bear any weight, men should undergo a colonoscopy as early as 45, then

    once a decade after that.

    What does this all mean? Colon health matters, gentleman. Live well, get the colonoscopy

    and restart your body with Digestive Science Intensive Colon Cleanse. Do these things, for

    your health, your happiness and peace of mind.
