Tea for Skin Cancer
What I love about natural skin care is that you don't risk getting nasty side effects from chemicals that don't work well with your skin. There are many skin care products for men that contain natural ingredients, for example grapefruit is commonly used for anti-aging skin care and so on. Now recent research also suggests that a cup of tea a day keeps skin cancer away.
In a study of nearly 2,200 adults, researchers found that tea drinkers had a lower risk of developing squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, the two most common forms of skin cancer.
Men and woman who had been loyal tea drinkers for years, drinking more than a cup a day, where 20-30 percent less likely to get skin cancer. And those who had been drinking tea for decades had of course an even more lesser chance to get cancer.
Of course these researches doesn't mean that we can just sit under the sun with no sun screen as long as we drink tea. Tea just gives us an extra layer of protection next to regular sun care. So drinking tea won't make you immune from nasty sun burns, but adding tea to your regular diet and always wearing proper sun care is a sure way to steer out of the way of skin cancer.
So to sum it all up drinking tea helps to reduce skin cancer but you always have to use sun screen when going out to the sun, especially men who are more prone to skin cancer.

Skin Cancer At A Glance
- There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (the nonmelanoma skin cancers), and melanoma.
- Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in humans.
- Ultraviolet light, which is in sunlight, is the main cause of skin cancer.
- The most common warning sign of skin cancer is a change in the appearance of the skin, such as a new growth or a sore that will not heal. Unexplained changes in the appearance of the skin lasting longer than two weeks should be evaluated by a doctor.
- Nonmelanoma skin cancer is generally curable. The cure rate for nonmelanoma skin cancer could be 100% if these lesions were brought to a doctor's attention before they had a chance to spread. Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer depends on the type and location of the skin cancer, the risk of scarring, as well as the age and health of the patient. Methods used include curettage and desiccation, surgical excision, cryosurgery, radiation, and Mohs micrographic surgery.
- Avoiding sun exposure in susceptible individuals is the best way to lower the risk for all types of skin cancer. Regular surveillance of susceptible individuals, both by self-examination and regular physical examination, is also a good idea for people at higher risk. People who have already had any form of skin cancer should have regular medical checkups.
