Dr. Suneel Kamath, an oncologist specializing in early-onset colorectal cancers, has revealed that certain breakfast foods can help reduce the risk of colon cancer, particularly in young people. Research shows that incorporating calcium and fiber-rich foods, such as yogurt, oats, and whole grains, into your breakfast can offer protective benefits. Dr. Kamath recommends meals like overnight oats with yogurt, milk, and berries, as they provide essential nutrients that support gut health and potentially reduce the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer. Studies have shown that regular yogurt consumption can lower the risk of Bifidobacterium-positive colorectal tumors by 20%, highlighting the importance of calcium and fiber in cancer prevention.
Healthy Fact of the Day: A consistent bedtime routine can improve the quality of your sleep. Activities like reading, light stretching, or practicing relaxation techniques before bed signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Establishing a calming pre-sleep ritual helps regulate your sleep cycle, leading to more restorative and restful sleep each night.
