Most health authorities agree that consuming a high-fiber diet helps keep the colon free from disease.
The reason for that is obvious -- like a broom, fiber cleans the intestines while helping to prevent constipation.
Well, in addition to fiber, I bet you didn't know that having a little olive oil each day may also help keep your colon healthy by lowering your risk of colon cancer.
Olive oil contains a high concentration of squalene, which, according to studies, gives olive oil its cancer-fighting powers.
So keep your colon healthy and happyl by adding a tablespoon of olive oil to your salad everyday.
