Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in our country, but the most shocking thing is that it is highly preventable. Dr. Roberto García invites us to stop looking at statistics from a distance and start taking real actions. Early detection is the first step, but nutrition and taking care of our “second brain” — the gut — are the foundations of a strong defense.
The Importance of Early Detection: Beyond Screening
Although detection techniques have advanced, in Panama we still have a long way to go in terms of preventive awareness. It is not only about going to the doctor when there is pain, but also about establishing surveillance protocols according to new international standards.
At what age should I start my checkups?
The guidelines have changed recently. What used to be recommended at age 50, today, depending on your risk factors, can start at age 40. It is essential to insist on these habits to drastically reduce the incidence of advanced diagnoses.
Nutrition and Colon Cancer: What the Scientific Evidence Reveals
There’s a lot of information out there about diets and supplements, but what does the science really say? Dr. Garcia delves into the direct relationship between what we eat and the health of our colon.
Gut Microbiota and Pro-inflammatory Foods
The gut microbiota is the ecosystem of bacteria that live in our digestive system. An imbalance here can trigger inflammatory processes that favor the appearance of tumors.
