If you’re concerned about colon cancer, you’ve got another good reason to keep your blood sugar in check.
A recent study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention found a significant relationship between c-peptide, an indicator of insulin secretion, and the risk of colorectal adenoma, the main precursor to colorectal cancer.
The good news is that you can help reduce c-peptide in your system. Just make sure you choose low-glycemic-index foods like wild fish, organic meats, season-fresh veggies, and antioxidant-rich beans that are full of cancer-fighting nutrients and naturally keep blood sugar levels stable.
[Ed. Note: Keeping your insulin in check won't just help prevent colon cancer. It can stave off diabetes, weight gain, and a host of other health problems. Stay healthy and live longer simply by making a few changes to your diet and exercise routine. Learn how to start feeling better today right here.
And now you can make healthful dessert choices. Nutrition expert Kelley Herring has developed a sinfully delicious chocolate cake that you can make at home... and it's really good for you. Learn more here.]
