Rectum? Dang near killed ‘em!
Be it any disease, the best thing to do is don’t be fat.
Eat “Paleo”, lift weights/sprint/do Yoga, and get good sleep.
I also strongly recommend meditation.
Adult weight loss is “defined as greater than or equal to 1.1 pounds per 5 years.”
I track my weight closely and can swing that much in a week!
My Excel spreadsheet started January 3, 2002 — wow, 20 years of weight data. I hadn’t looked at the start date in ages. I was 180 back then and 187 today, so not heading in the right long-term direction (but I am down 10 pounds from last July). I’ve averaged 187 over those 20 years so I’m right at my average today.
My goal is to get back to 170...and to stop yo-yo-ing.
It’s very important to distinguish between Colon Polyps vs. Diverticulitis. 1% of colon polyps may turn into cancer.
The risk of having colorectal cancer after an episode of acute diverticulitis is 44-fold higher than that of an age- and gender-adjusted reference population. Despite lower among patients with uncomplicated episode, the risk of colorectal cancer remains 40-fold higher in that subpopulation than that in the reference population.
