Colon cancer or colorectal is the second major cause of cancer death. The disease is slightly more common in men than women and the risk of colon cancer increases with age. Water and salt from the solid waste after digestion from small intestine get extracted inside the colon, before it moves into the rectum for elimination from the body.<br /> <h2>What Is Colon Cancer?</h2>The uncontrolled growth of cells lining the large intestine is known as colon cancer. In most cases the colon cancer begins as small non cancerous or benign tumors known as adenomatous polyps. Over the course of time some of these polyps may grow into malignant tumors. It is better to have regular screening tests to identify polyps before they turn into colon cancer. The polyps can be removed by colonoscopy. The cancerous cells may travel through the blood and lymph and may spread to other healthy parts. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are not the same, but they often occur together and are known as colorectal cancer.<br /> <h2>Causes Of Colon Cancer</h2>No specific causes are identified for colon cancer. When the cells uncontrollably grow and do not die, it results in cancer. There are certain factors which increase the risk of colon cancer. They include<br /> <ul><li><strong>Genetics -</strong>20 % of colon cancers are caused by inherited mutations in the genes</li><li><strong>Polyps- </strong>Adenomas and inflammatory polyps may become cancerous</li><li><strong>Habits And Diet-</strong> Sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcohol consumption, low fiber diets, fat and calorie rich diets , red meat etc increases the chance of colon cancer</li><li><strong>Certain Medical Factors- </strong>Health conditions such as diabetes, ulcerative colitis, acromegaly, Crohn’s disease and radiation treatment for other cancers increases the risk of colon cancer.</li></ul><h2>Symptoms Of Colon Cancer</h2>In the earliest stages of colon cancer the person may not experience any symptom. When the cancer reaches the advanced stage the following symptoms are seen<br /> <ul><li>Diarrhea or constipation</li><li>Changes in stool consistency</li><li>Stomach pain</li><li>Weight loss</li><li>Blood in stool or rectal bleeding</li><li>Continual urges to defecate</li><li>Anemia</li><li>Irritable bowel syndrome</li></ul>When cancer metastasizes or spreads to other parts, additional symptoms will be present in the newly affected area. The liver is the most common place for metastasis.<br /><h3>Colon Cancer Symptoms In Men</h3>There are not much variation in the symptoms seen in men and women affected by colorectal cancer, the common symptoms in men includes<br />• Change in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea<br />• Narrowing of stools that lasts more than a few days<br />• Rectal bleeding, blood in the stool or dark stools<br />• Unintended weight loss<br />• Weakness and fatigue<br /> <h3>Colon Cancer Symptoms In Women</h3>Some of the common symptoms of colon cancer in women are<br />• Changes in bowel movement including constipation or diarrhea<br />• Feeling of not able to empty the bowel completely<br />• Rectal cramping or rectal bleeding<br />• Blood in stool or thin stools<br />• Abdominal discomfort and bloating<br />• Unexplained fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss<br />• Pelvic pain<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><h2>Signs Of Colon Cancer</h2>There are several non-specific signs of colon cancer. The signs may vary according to the position of the tumor in large intestine. A cancer on the right side of the colon cause iron deficiency anemia as loss of blood occurs over a long period of time. The signs of cancer on the right side of colon are<br />• Fatigue and weakness<br />• Shortness of breath<br />The tumor in the left part of the colon is likely to cause partial or complete bowel obstruction. The most common signs include<br /> • Diarrhea or constipation<br />• Red or dark blood in stool<br />• Abdominal pain<br />• Stomach cramps and bloating<br />• Weight loss<br /> <h2>Metastatic Colon Cancer</h2>Sometimes the cancer cells from one area of the body can spread to other parts of the body this is known as secondary spread or metastasis. The cells of the colon cancer can travel through the lymphatic system or bold stream and can spread to the liver, bones or any other organ. The exact cause of metastatic colon cancer is not known.<br /> <span class="pibfi_pinterest"> <img alt="Colon Cancer stage" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1717" height="297" src="http://www.myhealthtips.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Colon-Cancer-stage.jpg" width="571" /> <span class="xc_pin" style="display: block; left: 555.5px;"> </span> </span><br /> <h2>Colon Cancer Stages</h2>To diagnose colon cancer the physician may conduct colonoscopy or barium enema X-ray. The polyps detected by colonoscopy, they are removed and sent for biopsy to detect cancer cells. After diagnosis the stage of the cancer is identified. The colon cancer stages are identified using the method called the TNM system. T indicates the size and extent of the primary tumor or degree of invasion of cancer cells into the intestinal wall, N indicates the degree to which the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and M indicates whether the cancer has metastasized to other organs of the body.<br /> <h2>Colon Cancer Surgery</h2>Your doctor may suggest colon cancer surgery to slow the spread of cancer, to remove bowel block or to remove secondary invasion. The surgery to remove part or entire colon is known as colectomy. During this surgery the surgeon will remove part of colon having cancer cells and the areas adjoining it. The nearby lymph nodes are also removed as a precaution to avoid secondary cancer. Doctors use endoscopy to remove small localized cancers. Larger polyps are often removed by laparoscopic surgery. In advanced or untreatable cases palliative surgery is employed to relieve the symptoms such as pain, bleeding etc.<br /> <h2>Colon Cancer Treatment</h2>The treatment of colon cancer depends on the type of cancer, the size of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, the age of the person, the health status of the patient etc. There is no single treatment which is effective for colon cancer. The commonly used treatments are<br /> <ul><li><strong>Chemotherapy-</strong> This uses chemicals which destroy the cancer cells. It is highly effective for metastasized cancer. There are side effects such as hair loss, nausea, fatigue, and vomiting for this treatment.</li><li><strong>Radiation Therapy –</strong> This use high energy gamma rays to destroy cancer cells. These are effective in shrinking tumors. Side effects of radiation therapy include mild skin changes like sunburn or suntan, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. Patients tend to lose their appetites experience weight loss, but most of these side effects subside a few weeks after completing treatment.</li><li><strong>Surgery-</strong> If the colon cancer is causing symptoms it is better to operate, to remove the affected colon part. Your doctor will be able to suggest the best treatment option for you after considering various factors.</li></ul>Regular screening is the best method to detect and prevent colon cancer. Keeping healthy weight, consumption of fiber containing fruits and vegetables, reducing fat and red meat intake and exercising also helps to prevent colon cancer.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874230280735625618.post-91737461683697426802015-02-11T06:16:00.000-08:002015-03-23T21:36:58.368-07:0015 Best Vitamins For Women<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ61m46dgNdCFCTTHX1EoRhMw_5JvNluWk8DCiuyKDu_i_Q3vSK6K9eBkpHxtnm1K1CC0zeSR79WRkV1M6Rob0EGtnZHXrzLz51uS_CYhyphenhyphen_9e_hLqsXKMW7ZiAzUrczsIY6CVNbx3BVB4/s1600/Best-Vitamins-For-Women.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ61m46dgNdCFCTTHX1EoRhMw_5JvNluWk8DCiuyKDu_i_Q3vSK6K9eBkpHxtnm1K1CC0zeSR79WRkV1M6Rob0EGtnZHXrzLz51uS_CYhyphenhyphen_9e_hLqsXKMW7ZiAzUrczsIY6CVNbx3BVB4/s1600/Best-Vitamins-For-Women.jpg" height="206" width="320" /></a></div><br />Nowadays women are more health conscious than what they were some decades back.

Metabolism is the rate of burning of sugar and release of energy. The rate at which the energy provided by the food in our system is used up is determined by our metabolic rate. If the metabolic rate is sluggish it leads to accumulation of fats and sugars in the system which in turn leads to weight gain. If you have a high metabolic rate, you will be able to burn off calories faster and be able to ward off the extra weight. Metabolic rate is influenced by different factors such as genetics, weight and age. Even though these factors are out of our control, there are many ways we can influence our metabolism levels. The right choices will lead to the metabolism rate firing up or fizzling down. If you are targeting weight loss, there are certain mistakes which you might be making resulting in slowing down of the metabolism rate.<br /> <h2>Eating Too Late</h2>This is a mistake that many people make. Most people do not have time to have breakfast when they rushing off to work or to drop the kids off to school. However, it has been seen that skipping breakfast can be worse for your health. It makes the metabolism rate slow down for the day. As the body is not provided adequate amount of food, the brain signals to the body to conserve energy. Accordingly the fats are stored up instead of getting burnt off. It is imperative that one eats within an hour of waking up. That sparks off the metabolic process called thermogenesis. This turns the food that is eaten into energy. That also makes it ideal to opt for high protein and even calorie laden food items during breakfast rather having it for lunch or dinner. If you feel like having a donut after having an omelet of egg whites, you might as well pack it in with an early breakfast so that you will burn it off during the day.<br /> <h2>Not Exercising</h2>Research has shown that one keeps burning calories even after 24 hours after workout, especially when one does resistance training form of exercises. Research also has proven that exercising in the morning leads to more calories being brunt than exercising at any other time of the day. Thus, if you wish to get an effective exercise without going at it for hours, plan a short and quick workout early in the morning. You could get up and go for a run or a walk as suits your physical activity need and preference. When you do high intensity cardio interval training you challenge the fat burning genes more. As a result, the post workout calorie burn is much more. Doing <strong>cardio vascular exercises early in the morning on an empty stomach will prove most effective in reducing fat and weight</strong>.<br /><h2>Not Doing Resistance Training</h2>Most people think that resistance training is not for them. They feel that cardio vascular exercises are enough to keep them fit. While that is true in most regard, if you wish to develop lean muscles and want to keep the fat burning process going even after you have stopped exercising. It would be wiser to start doing strength training. Strength training involves working with weights but one can even do other forms of resistance training such as high intensity interval training. That leads to similar effects as weight lifting exercises. These kinds of exercises work on the muscle groups and lead to wear and tear. As the muscles start to recover and rebuild themselves, they burn the fat cells in order to get energy. During the time when you rest, the muscles are repairing themselves and burning calories at the same time. Thus, a metabolism boosting workout even for ten minutes included in one’s morning exercise routine will keep the calories burning through the day.<br /> These are some of the great ways one can boost their metabolism. If you are not doing these activities, you are missing out on stepping up your metabolic rate.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div>Is weight gain weighing you down? Does it not seem to help no matter what measures you take? You need to understand the natural processes within your body with respect to fat burning. The kind of food that helps to burn fat, increase the metabolic rate more need to be known in order to affect weight loss. Again, eating the right food at the right time as well as doing the right amount of physical activity will keep the metabolism active. Even if you are born with a sluggish metabolism, you could do many things to step it up and make it work to your advantage in order to help you lose the fat and keep off the extra weight.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874230280735625618.post-58492724544789409442015-02-10T19:57:00.000-08:002015-03-23T21:36:58.430-07:00Way To Reducing Lung Cancer Risk For Smokers<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohHTgvEs7t4_4wNsUDz55GGprf8fuZcjEZ5Z8vffQHVZy0p1mJyhcraGcHFowxFhk5Mq-iQQqzUzmVRorTQZgYVjOipTiHT6lomuzZC7HcObzhZQbH9NXtCAV7bcslZIHvquWDxy8D4c/s1600/620x316xLung-Cancer-Risk-For-Smokers-620x316.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Ay_fGlA4frGw15qutmS4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohHTgvEs7t4_4wNsUDz55GGprf8fuZcjEZ5Z8vffQHVZy0p1mJyhcraGcHFowxFhk5Mq-iQQqzUzmVRorTQZgYVjOipTiHT6lomuzZC7HcObzhZQbH9NXtCAV7bcslZIHvquWDxy8D4c/s1600/620x316xLung-Cancer-Risk-For-Smokers-620x316.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Ay_fGlA4frGw15qutmS4.jpg" height="163" width="320" /></a></div><br />If you have the bad habit of smoking, the principal way that one can help themselves is to give up on smoking.
