March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month!
If everyone aged 50 years old or older were screened regularly, as many as 60% of deaths from colon cancer could be avoided (according to the CDC). You have the power to stop colon cancer before it starts.

How can I prevent Colon Cancer?
If you are 50 or older, you need to think about colon cancer. More than 90% of cases occur in people aged 50 or older, according to the CDC. Screenings and healthy habits save lives.
