"Work in Progress" Newsletter Diet and Exercise People can lower their risk of developing colorectal cancer by managing the risk factors that they can control, such as diet and physical activity. It is important to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods and to limit intake of high-fat foods. Physical activity is another area that people can control. The American Cancer Society recommends at least 30, preferably 45 to 60 minutes of physical activity on 5 or more days of the week. If you are overweight, you can ask your doctor about a weight loss plan that will work for you. For more information about diet and physical activity, refer to the American Cancer Society document, American Cancer Society Guidelines for Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention.
