Nutrition food you consume daily can protect you from the risks of the disease. Magnesium is contained in food green vegetables, nuts, and seeds are known to protect against the risk of colon and pancreatic cancer.

The researchers conducted a case study of more than 1,500 people were divided into two groups, cases and controls. Case group was asked to increase the intake of magnesium in the diet every day to as much as 100 mg.


The results showed that the risk of colon cancer decreased by 19 percent. However, the decline was only successful on people with an average body mass index (BMI) 25.


The second part of the study analyzed the combined data from several previous similar studies with the new study. This suggests that the protective effect of 100 mg of supplemental magnesium per day reduces the risk of colorectal cancer by 12 percent.


The data also indicate that magnesium intake and reduced risk of cancer has a linear relationship, which means the greater intake of magnesium may protect the colon from cancer. So that a person can protect themselves and prevent colorectal cancer by increasing the intake of magnesium.


In addition to these studies, scientists from Cohort EPIC also conducted a study of 142,203 men and 334,999 women to determine the association of magnesium with pancreatic cancer. The study was conducted by examining the dietary records of study participants every day for 11 years.


The result is known that any increase in magnesium intake of 100 mg per day in the diet, may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 21 percent for those with an average BMI of 25, as quoted from NaturalNews, Friday (11/23/2012).


To prevent and treat cancer, one requires the cooperation of more than 300 enzyme systems found in every tissue of the human body. The presence of magnesium in the body has an important role in DNA, proliferation, repair cell differentiation, and angiogenesis.


People who are older, heavy drinkers, and those with hyperglycemia, gluten sensitivity, and Crohn's disease are usually more prone to magnesium deficiency.


Magnesium deficiency is also associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, and now, with an increased risk of cancer. Taking a magnesium supplement is a convenient way to increase intake of magnesium, but it is advised to have a diet rich in magnesium.
