Bowel cancer kills almost 80 people a week
Bowel cancer is a malignant growth that develops in the lining of the large bowel. Most bowel cancers develop from tiny growths called ‘polyps’. Not all polyps become cancerous.
Over time some polyps can become cancerous. Cancer can narrow and block the bowel or cause bleeding. In more advanced cases, the cancer can spread beyond the bowel to other organs.
As most bowel cancer start as polyps, all polyps should be removed to reduce your risk of developing the disease. Almost all polyps can be removed without an operation during the procedure of colonoscopy
Once removed from the bowel, the polyp can no longer develop into cancer. Even if a polyp develops into cancer, in its early stages it can be cured by surgery.
Enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods –
•eat plenty of vegetables, legumes (dried beans, peas or lentils), fruits & cereals (breads, rice, pasta & noodles), preferably wholegrain.
•include lean meat, fish and poultry.
•include milks, yoghurts and cheeses. Reduced fat varieties should be chosen where possible.
•drink plenty of water.
Take care to -
•limit saturated fat and moderate total fat intake.
•limit your intake of red meat and processed meat.
•choose foods low in salt.
•limit your alcohol intake if you choose to drink.
•consume only moderate amounts of sugars and foods containing added sugars.
And -
•quit smoking

Report urges employers to take action on workplace stress
WORKPLACE stress is costing the economy billions of dollars a year and experts claim it is time for employers to create "interventions" to stem the damage.
Psychologists Mike Evans and Julian Tatton from Chandler Macleod Consulting have prepared a new white paper saying many employers view stress as "just part of the job" and wrongly believe spending any time or money on tackling the issue to be a waste...
Prolonged stress can cause or contribute to all manner of health issues including obesity, cancer and heart disease. At its most extreme, workplace stress can even cause sudden death via stroke, heart attack and suicide. Apparently the Japanese have a word for it – karoshi that literally translates as death from overwork.
