Basal Cell
Carcinoma Prevention
If you want
to prevent basal cell carcinoma, it is important that you avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially if you are at
risk. Other preventive measures include:
- Perform
regular self-examination of your skin
- Increase
your vitamin D intake (respect the recommended dose by your nutritionist)
- Wear
protective clothingif you
go outside during sun-light. You can protect your skin by wearing hats, long-sleeved shirts, long skirts,
or pants
- apply
effective sunscreens with SPF (sun protection factor) – always look for sunscreens that block both UVA and
UVB light
- apply
sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply it frequently
· reduce bad
cholesterol in your diet: egg yolk, organ meats (brain, kidney, liver), nuts, almonds, lobster, shellfish, fish
eggs, etc.
· consume
polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega-6 (sunflower oil) omega 3 (flax seed oil, fish oil); they lower the bad
LDL cholesterol in your blood and prevent formation of a blood clot.
·
Eat
plenty of fruits (2 to 3 per day), vegetables (3 to 4 servings per day), polyphenols (moderate consumption of
wine and green tea) and phyto-oestrogens: soy, green tea, chickpeas, lentils, beans, grains, carrots, fennel,
onions, garlic, etc.
