Bowel cancer is a lump created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells that start in the bowel. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. About five in 100 people will develop bowel cancer in the UK. Of these five people, at least four will be over the age of 60.

There is evidence that taking the following steps to improve your diet can help to reduce your risk of getting bowel cancer:

·         Eat five or more portions of fruit and vegetables every day

·         Eat foods high in fibre such as wholegrain bread, cereals and wholemeal pasta

·         Cut down on the amount of processed meat and red meat you eat

·         Maintain a healthy weight
