* Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption which are carcinogenic.
* Studies suggest avoiding high-calorie foods, red and processed meat also reduce the risk of CRC.
* Perform regular exercise with moderate intensity (for at least 30 minutes).
* Maintain healthy body weight to minimise the chances of CRC.
