To prevent skin cancer it takes Educating and Doing!

Cancer prevention foods help against all types of cancer.

There are some Good Books available to help you do just that.

As we are all reminded quite often, it is a good idea to not overdo it in the sun and use a safe, chemical free sunscreen as needed. Let the sun be your friend and not the trigger for skin cancer.

The reality is that approximately 40 to 50 percent of light skinned people will develop some skin cancer by the time they reach 65.

We also have a larger number of teenagers and college students being diagnosed with melanoma as a result of unsafe tanning beds and overexposure to ultraviolet rays.

Through awareness, a healthy skin cancer prevention diet and education you can help prevent skin cancer.

You can prevent skin cancer from ever occurring in the first place or you can prevent it from recurring, simply by choosing the right foods to prevent cancer.

I was 47 years old when I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma …too late to actually prevent it, but not too late to keep it from recurring.

I began following a Cancer Prevention Diet of whole organic foods to strengthen my body. I did undergo all the Conventional Treatments and my Healthy Eating Habits gave me the fortitude to make it through them.

My point is that you shouldn't feel like it's too late to prevent skin cancer, even when you already have it and it has progressed to a Later Stage.

My Cancer had progressed to a stage 3. I had tumors on both sides of my neck and it had spread inward to my throat and was also considered oral cancer.

Exactly what did I do beyond the conventional treatments?

I also started making my own fresh ...organic ...Vegetable Juices.

My diet and juicing all consisted of high quality whole foods and this pulled me through all the treatments, as the conventional treatments were disabling me more than the cancer itself.

The cancer has long gone but the effects of conventional medicine remain with me for life. So I am strongly opinionated and convinced that to prevent skin cancer YOU Must Take Control of your own health, the sooner the better!

Consider Eating a Superfoods Diet to aid in the prevention of cancer.

Here’s a few of the most helpful products I personally have used through the years to prevent skin cancer and guard against all disease. Supplements can not be effective if you're not eating a healthy diet. They are only intended to supply what is lacking in food.

• Cell Food - I suffered repeated pneumonia as a result of conventional treatments causing lung damage. Cellfood increases my breathing capacity and for me it works immediately. I soon notice the difference when I run out.

• E3Live – This product contains a lot of chlorophyll which supplies oxygen. In general I just feel better and know that I am continuing to fight the long lasting ill effects of my treatments and keep my health as strong as I can.

• Dr. Mercola Multivitamin Plus - Whole Food + Vital Minerals – Instead of taking a ton of different types of vitamins I take these. I feel assured I’m getting a good variety of quality vitamins and minerals. Since I should not spend much time in the sun, this product assures that I do not become vitamin D deficient.

• Vita-Mix – I started using a Vita-Mix about 19 years ago, during my recovery, as a way to make my own fresh juices including “greens” which can be hard to get very much juice from. Actually my whole family enjoys making fruit smoothies, sauces, soups and I even use it to grind whole grains. I can make a very nutritious, drinkable meal in a matter of minutes. You can’t go wrong with this machine and the service the Vita-Mix company has always provided.

A great benefit of eating healthy and guarding against disease is that you are actually Anti Aging. What I mean to say is that you can maintain good health, prevent skin cancer and remain quite active as the years pass by. Anti Aging is what living healthy is all about. There are health products that focus specifically on Anti Aging.

I feel very strong about using Anti Aging Supplement Products and choosing a healthy lifestyle to keep my skin cancer from ever returning.

Avoiding overexposure to ultraviolet rays helps to prevent skin cancer

Consider your Family History. If you have family members …siblings …parents …grandparents who had skin cancer, you are at a higher risk.

Are you light skinned? Do you have blue eyes? …or red hair and freckles? If so, this also puts you at a higher risk.

Have you had blistering sunburn any time in your life including early childhood?

Have you had skin cancer before? Have you had any radiation treatment or lots of X-Rays?

Do you already have moles on your body?

Do you use Sun Tanning Beds? …or do you consistently go about in the sun with minimum clothing?

All of the above puts you at a higher risk. If you don’t want your skin to age before it’s time and you want to prevent skin cancer, then you must consider these risks.

If you are at a lower risk, then there’s no problem going out in the midday sun and exposing your skin, but be sure to limit it to maybe 5 to 15 minutes.

If you see your skin turn a slight shade of pink, STOP, that’s enough. The benefits have stopped and the sun damage begins.

Beyond that use sunscreen, protective clothing and have a sun shelter with you at the beach.

Educate yourself and be thoughtful about skin cancer prevention

A Caution about tanning beds

Most commercial tanning beds are unsafe because of the use of electronic magnetic ballasts. They mostly all use full spectrum bulbs that do not produce ultraviolet radiation, which is the only health benefit you could receive from a tanning bed. No UV rays ...equals ...no vitamin D benefit.

So with most commercial tanning beds you don’t get the Vitamin D and the electronic magnetic ballasts cause your skin harm.

Sunscreen

We hear a lot about sunscreen so I don’t want to leave that out. Most definitely use a sunscreen if you’re going to be spending an excessive amount of time in the sun. Be sure you choose a Safe Sunscreen
