2. Include ‘resistant starches’ in your diet
Have you ever heard of resistant starches? They are basically carbohydrates that have the unique capacity to resist digestion in the small intestine. Resistant starches ferment in the large intestine. But why is this a good thing? Well, since they aren’t digested in the small intestine, they don’t raise glucose and promote healthy digestion.
White beans, green bananas, or rolled oats are just a few resistant starch examples that can reduce your risk of developing colon cancer. Doctors recommend pairing red meat with resistant starches as they can counteract the negative effects of red meat consumption.
