The inclusion of fish in a vegetarian diet against colon cancer
Why study focused on colorectal cancer? It is the third most common diagnosis, and the third leading cause of death from cancer in 2014, according to statistics from the American Cancer Society.
The disease is particularly dangerous because it is usually asymptomatic at early stages, which makes it more difficult to detect when it is well treatable. Only 59% of those in need receive treatment that is necessary.
The study, whose results were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was attended by almost 78,000 people. This study added to evidence of the benefits of a diet based on natural health. We emphasize - plant-based. But not completely vegetarian. In another study, analysis of data from 39 separate studies showed that the plants are the basis diet leads to an average decrease in blood pressure, similar exertion 30-60- minute per day.
However, another study last year found that the average weight loss for vegetarians is almost 3.5 kg. Good or bad? For people who are engaged in losing weight is probably good. But for cancer patients is not very. We should not forget that a person's weight is determined by the weight of the bones, muscles and stored fat. Bone density decreases with age (weight lost bone), which leads to their breakage with consequent problems that are added to the general problem of oncology diseases (in our case).
Also, a decrease in muscle mass leads to loss of capacity cancer patient. Hard to have not only to the patient but also to others who have more than assist.
In this regard, in the case of cancer need a certain midst. That is a complete abuse the transition to vegetarianism is not necessary.
While the figures show the health benefits of reducing the consumption of red meat, a recent study emphasizes the differences between a fully vegetarian diet and plant-based diet with the inclusion of fish. The sample was found to fall in the risk of contracting cancer of the colon and rectum by 27%, if you switch to a fully vegetarian diet to diet to include fish. The authors of the study suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may be the key to such a low risk of developing the disease in the transition to a diet with fish.
A nutritionist Lisa Drayer agrees. "In addition to other dietary factors that fish can provide additional protection at high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. This is consistent with previous studies, which found that omega-3 acids have activity against cancer, and that they may be useful in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. "
