Eat Right for
Cancer Prevention
Chances are your life has been touched by cancer —
whether you, a parent, friend or even a child has been
diagnosed. While cancer can leave us feeling helpless
there are measures you can take to help reduce your risk. Your diet is one of the
most important factors under your control.
Last year, it was estimated that over half a million Americans would lose their lives to
cancer, and more than 1.6 million men and women would be diagnosed with this
devastating illness. Lifestyle changes, including eating healthier and being more
active, could prevent hundreds of thousands of cancer cases each year in the U.S.
Eating well can help you lower your risk and beat cancer in a variety of ways. And, if
you have been diagnosed, eating well can positively support treatment and help you
live well after treatment.
Here are some general guidelines to help reduce your cancer risk through eating
right.
 Maintaining a healthy weight is key to reducing your risk of cancer and other
diseases. Being overweight or obese is likely to raise your risk for developing more
than 13 types of cancer. Obesity can negatively affect inflammation in the body,
the immune system, the way in which body cells grow and levels of certain
hormones.
 Eat fewer foods that are high in calories and fat and low in nutrients.
Foods with added sugars and fats can cause weight gain and leave little room for
more healthful, cancer-protective foods.
 Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables including beans, which are linked with a
lower risk of certain cancers. Fill half your plate each meal with a variety of
naturally nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables.
 Limit alcohol. Evidence suggests all types of alcoholic drinks may increase your
risk of a number of cancers, including mouth, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx),
esophagus, liver, breast, colon and rectum. It's unclear exactly how alcohol affects
cancer risk. It is considered more harmful when combined with smoking. If you
drink at all, limit alcoholic drinks to no more than one drink daily for women and
two for men.
For more tips on reducing your risk or managing diseases through nutrition, consult a
registered dietitian nutritionist in your area. Lori Yenser is the local registered
dietician nutritionist for La Plata County. Contact Greta at 970-382-6428 to get in
touch with her.
Medicare Preventative
Services
Colorectal cancer screenings
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers several types of colorectal cancer screening tests to help
find precancerous growths or find cancer early, when treatment is most effective.
Screening colonoscopy: Medicare covers this test once every 24 months if you're at high risk for
colorectal cancer. If you aren't at high risk for colorectal cancer, Medicare covers this test once every
120 months, or 48 months after a previous flexible sigmoidoscopy.
Who's eligible?
All people age 50 or older with Part B are covered. People of any age are eligible for a colonoscopy.
Your costs in Original Medicare
If a screening colonoscopy results in the biopsy or removal of a lesion or growth during the same visit,
the procedure is considered diagnostic and you may have to pay coinsurance and/or a copayment, but
the Part B deductible doesn't apply.
To find out how much your specific test, item, or service will cost, talk to your doctor or other health care
provider. The specific amount you’ll owe may depend on several things, like other insurance you may
have, how much your doctor charges, whether your doctor accepts assignment, the type of facility, and
the location where you get your test, item, or service.
Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare
covers. Or, they may recommend services that Medicare doesn’t cover. If this happens, you may have
to pay some or all of the costs. It’s important to ask questions so you understand why your doctor is
recommending certain services and whether Medicare will pay for them.
For more information about Medicare visit https://www.medicare.gov/ or contact your local State Health
Insurance Program counselors (SHIP), Greta Kirker at 970-382-6428 or, Sheila Casey at
970-382-6442 to schedule a Medicare Counseling appointment.
Help Fight Medicare Fraud
Medicare fraud wastes a lot of money each year and results in higher health care costs and taxes for everyone.
Examples of Medicare fraud include:
 A healthcare provider billing Medicare for services you never got
 A supplier billing Medicare for equipment you never got
 Someone using your Medicare card to get medical care, supplies, or equipment
 A company using false information to mislead you into joining a Medicare plan
You’re the first line of defense against Medicare fraud. You can help by guarding your Medicare number --treat it like a credit card.
