| Sumario: | Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the main causes of death in many countries, although it is accepted that it can be prevented with timely control and the adoption of a healthy lifestyle. Objective: To analyze scientific information regarding the role of eating habits, physical activity and stress in the prevention of colorectal cancer. Method: Review of scientific articles, written in English and Spanish, published in pubmed, Redalyc, Scielo and BVsalud, up to August 2018 about eating habits, physical activity and stress control in relation to colorectal cancer prevention. Results: There is information about components with the ability to inhibit the onset, spread and metastasis of colorectal cancer in food such as certain vegetables, fruit, honey and dairy products; and there are also reports indicating that some kinds of meat and red meat in particular can provide substances associated with the appearance and development of this type of cancer whereas all publications about physical activity and stress control state that the reduction of sedentary life and stress help the prevention or colorectal cancer presentation and mortality. Conclusions: In scientific literature, the promotion of healthy eating habits, physical activity and stress control is identified as preventive measures contributing to the reduction of colorectal cancer The lack of explanations, with enough evidence on these protection or risk factors, expresses the need for scientific contributions to improve the prevention of colorectal cancer. |
