Vitamins Help Prevent Colon Cancer

You may want to think twice about skipping that multivitamin. A new report shows that vitamins C, B-6 and folate have a protective effect against the development and/or worsening of risk factors that lead to colorectal tumors in smokers. Likewise, beta-carotene has a similar effect on nonsmokers.

In general, good quality nutrition, combined with informed dietary supplementation, is known to reduce risk factors of disease development, especially for most cancers. A healthy regimen lowers the incidence of digestive maladies that a habitual diet of refined, processed, calorie-rich, and nutrient-deficient food causes.

To counterbalance this, you should try to find supplemental products to bolster the health and functional competence of the GI tract-a tactic crucial for restoring optimum immune and metabolic function.
