How Lifestyle and Gut Health Are Increasing Colon Cancer Risk (Doctor Explains)

In this episode, I speak with Dr. P. Senthilnathan, Gastrointestinal Surgeon, at GEM Hospital. We discuss why colon cancer is rising and the impact of lifestyle factors such as obesity, low fibre intake, red meat consumption, and chronic constipation. He emphasizes the importance of adequate dietary fibre for gut health and regular bowel habits, including the role of everyday high-fibre food choices such as Aashirvaad Multigrain Atta, and shares patient-education resources like https://happytummy.aashirvaad.com for better digestive health awareness. 00:00 - Intro 02:51 - Cancer Cases Are Rising - Why? 04:51 - Is Obesity Fueling Cancer? 06:51 - The Real Reason Fatty Liver Is So Common Now 10:06 - What a Fatty Liver Actually Looks Like 11:11 - Why Colon Cancer Is Increasing in Younger People 13:16 - Does Red Meat Really Increase Colon Cancer Risk? 16:21 - Constipation Isn’t “Normal” 25:41 - How Bowel Movement Really Works 33:01 - How Much Fiber Do You ACTUALLY Need? 36:11 - When Your Gut & Brain Don’t Sync 44:11 - Fecal Leakage: The Symptom No One Talks About 52:41 - Doctor’s Final Advice for a Healthier Gut ----- For shorter versions of our long podcasts, please checkout the following channels 1.
