Skin Cancer Prevention: Reduce Exposure - Reduce sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. This is especially important from mid-spring through mid-fall. Use sunglasses that include a warranty stating they provide 100 percent UVA and UVB (broad-spectrum) protection. Reduce Stress - stress can come from both physical and emotional sources. Stress effects the hormone Cortisol produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol speeds healing, is anti-inflammatory and controls excess immune cell production. Stress also affects Adrenal gland function. Excercise Regularly - not only will excercise reduce stress but it also elevates mood and strengthens the immune system. A simple 20 minute walk a day can make a difference. Eat Healthy - many foods have been proven to help prevent cancer. It is advised to increase vegetable and fruit intake while reducing fatty foods. Take Supplements - a healthy body has all the vitamins and minerals necessary to fight disease. Studies have shown certain vitamins to be effective in fighting cancer including a breakthrough new study highlighting Vitamin D. Wear Sunscreen - moderate amounts of sunlight are necessary to get Vitamin D and can also help with mood however sunscreens should be used to minimize burning and excessive sun. Liberally apply sunscreen to exposed skin 30 minutes before venturing outdoors. |
