Age is one of the biggest factors. While young people can also get colon cancer, people over fifty are at the highest risk. Those who have a family history of cancer, as well as women who have had breast cancer, uterine cancer, or ovary cancer are at high risk. Your diet can put you at risk. If your diet is high in fat and calories, and low in fiber, you are at high risk for colon cancer. Although low-dose aspirin may help reduce your risk of other conditions, such as heart disease, it does not lower the rate of colon cancer.

Owen, Ph.D., D.Sc., author of “Why Calcium?”, when coral calcium is added to water it raises and balances the body s pH levels. Consumption of this alkalinized water also balances the body s acid/alkaline levels, thus bringing about many health benefits. Coral calcium promotes healthy oxygen levels, and helps to process and remove toxic wastes that may build up in the body.

HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). This is known as the good cholesterol as it has a protective effect on the body, carrying harmful fatty deposits away from the arteries and back to the liver. LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). This is known as the bad cholesterol as it transports the fatty deposits to the tissues encouraging a build-up on the artery walls. The LDL cholesterol is very sticky. This build up causes a condition called atherosclerosis which leads to the narrowing of the arteries, restricting blood flow and so increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke. Cholesterol is a liquid manufactured from the fatty foods that we eat, carried in the blood by special molecules called lipoproteins.
