April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.
Eating a lot of red and processed meat increases your risk of bowel cancer.
If you eat more than 90g of red or processed meat a day, it’s recommended to reduce your intake to 70g or less a day.
You can do this by eating smaller portions of red and processed meat, eating these meats less often or swapping them for alternatives.
