Ways to protect yourself from skin cancer.

The healthcare system in Germany recently added skin cancer to its list of nationally recognized diseases.

Each year in this country, nearly 300,000 more people, or over 3% of the population, become victims of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is an unpredictable disease.

In Vietnam, with its scorching sun, especially between 11 am and 1 pm, the rate of skin cancer is no lower than in Germany. Ultraviolet rays are not only harmful when the sky is clear. Even when it's cloudy and about to rain, ultraviolet rays still attack as usual because they reflect off clouds, water surfaces, sand, and asphalt roads...

How to protect your skin to avoid cancer.

Skin cancer is an unpredictable disease because it doesn't spread immediately; sometimes it takes decades after a single sunburn, especially in children. Therefore, all measures to protect the skin, from protective clothing to sunscreen, are absolutely essential to prevent skin cancer.

Early detection is key to preventing skin cancer.

Skin cancer is not difficult to treat if detected early. Don't be so afraid of the disease that you become afraid of sunlight. Lack of sunlight can cause just as much skin cancer as sun exposure. Furthermore, according to recent research in the United States and Australia, cancer doesn't spontaneously spread by simply befriending ultraviolet rays.

Conversely, even if you are exposed to sunlight every day, ultraviolet rays are mostly only harmful if the person is deficient in vitamin D. Therefore, a diet rich in vitamin D, such as milk or dairy products (provided the milk is of good quality and not treated with chemicals), is beneficial.

For those who work under the scorching sun, taking vitamin D supplements regularly is a preventative measure against skin cancer, following the principle of taking it internally before applying it topically.

Oncology experts have asserted that preventing skin cancer is not difficult if:

Never let your skin become dehydrated.

Provide your skin with antioxidants regularly, specifically provitamin A found in yellow-orange fruits and dark green vegetables. Many therapists are absolutely right to recommend eating fruit five times a day, any kind will do. You don't need to eat too much, no more than 50g each time.

Treat skin conditions, especially allergies, thoroughly to protect the skin's structure.
