 As summer approaches, remember that those rays are out to get you! Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, and one person out of every five will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime. The rays of summer are also the largest contributing factors to aging and wrinkling skin. Skin will eventually age all over the body, but much more so and faster where there has been the most sun exposure. Here are some simple guidelines on how you can avoid a brush with Melanoma, and keep your skin healthy and looking young. Make sure you and your children lather up with a good sunscreen! No matter what outdoor activity you are involved in, make sure you are protected. Reapply often. The earlier and more often young children are exposed to the sun, the greater their chances of developing some form of skin cancer. Make sure they understand the dangers of the sun! Make sure to wear protective clothing! Wear protective clothing as much as possible at all times. Long-sleeved shirts, pants, and hats will increase your protection. MAKE SURE TO EAT A PROTECTIVE DIET! Sound strange? It shouldn’t! According to the National Cancer Institute, one-third of all cancer deaths are linked to diet. A cancer-fighting diet consists of eating less fat, more fiber and more fruits and vegetables. Make sure to eat plenty of antioxidants. These include foods that include the vitamins A, C, and E, as well as beta-carotene. Research has found that there is a link between a soy-rich diet and cancer prevention. Soy is low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and contains many important cancer prevention nutrients. Soy foods are rich in compounds called phytochemicals, which have been linked to fighting cancer. One family of phytochemicals is called isoflavones and is found in large quantities only in soybeans and in soy foods. Stay in the shade! Remember that even though you are in the shade you can still be affected by the sun’s rays. It wouldn’t hurt to keep the sunscreen on as a constant precaution. A tan is not what it appears. Your skin turns brown as a reaction to the sun’s rays. Your body isn’t asking for a tan, and there are plenty of other ways to make yourself feel beautiful. So stay away from tanning salons, because whether you are inside or outside there is no such thing as a safe tan! Following these simple guidelines this summer will help prevent aging skin, dryness, roughness, sagginess, skin growths, wrinkles, and even skin cancer.
