5 minutes in the toilet every day to prevent colon cancer

Recently, the French Minister of Health launched a campaign called "5 minutes in the toilet every day to save yourself from colon cancer".

Don't say you don't have time .

Every year, more than 3,700 new cases of colon cancer are discovered in France. This is the cancer that has the third largest number of deaths, after prostate cancer and breast cancer in this country.

It is worth noting that the experts have confirmed that if the disease is detected early, the proportion of patients who live for 5 years more will be 94%. In contrast, the chances of prolonging the life of patients who are slow to the hospital are very low (less than 5%).

However, the problem here is that the symptoms of this disease in the early stages are difficult to detect. They are similar to other digestive problems such as diarrhea or constipation, combined with abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, but often difficult to detect.

To prevent this particularly dangerous disease, all of us, regardless of age, spend 5 minutes a day in the toilet to address the body's needs. Regular daily defecation is extremely necessary to protect the general intestinal health and colon in particular. Having a good digestive system, we can have good health. Don't say that there's no time, just 5 minutes a day is enough to prevent colon cancer for a lifetime.

If you are worried about your gastrointestinal tract, see your doctor to have a colon cancer test. In particular, people aged 50 and older need to go to the hospital to do a test every 2 years.
