Core Tip

Core Tip: Consuming a smaller amount of fatty, fried food, salted and smoked foods with the intake of more fruits and vegetables, as well as foods rich in folic acid (beans, wheat germ, asparagus) and calcium changes the intestinal microbiome, reducing the inflammatory process at the level of the intestinal mucosa, and thus the occurrence of colorectal carcinoma. Undoubtedly, colonoscopy is important in the diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer.
