NATIONAL (NBC) – Most of us know the best way to protect yourself against skin cancer is to cover up and wear sunscreen. But you may be able to drink your way to safer skin.

To protect yourself from sun damage and skin cancer, dermatologist Doctor Bryan Chen says there’s steps you should take. “The use of sunscreens to cover up the best that you can from the sun, the use of hats during the day, and try to avoid the sun during the hours of 10 in the morning to two in the afternoon when the sun intensity is the greatest outdoors – that in combination with drinking tea – I think would be useful.”

Drinking just one cup of tea a day will lower your risk of getting the two most common types of skin cancer – squamous and basal cell carcinoma. That’s according to a report from the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

Through the process of oxidation, oxygen starts the process of burning glucose and fat to provide heat and energy in the body. Although this is an inevitable and naturally occurring process which gives our bodies the energy we need; the process of oxidation creates some by-products that have negative effects to our body.

During the process of oxidation, highly reactive by-products called free radicals are produced. These free radicals act on other molecules, turning them into free radicals like themselves, thus disrupting their normal functioning. This could eventually lead to massive cell destruction, tissue damage, and even cause degenerative diseases, like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis among others.

GRANDMOTHER did know best. Scientists have established that tea left to brew in a pot is better for your health. The traditional way of making a cuppa releases more cancer-fighting chemicals than simply dunking a tea bag in a mug of boiling water.

Researchers at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen found that the concentration of antioxidants, which soak up damaging free radicals linked to cancer and heart disease, reaches its peak after five minutes’ brewing in a pot. Read the rest of this entry »

LONDON: Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers. The work in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition dispels the common belief that tea dehydrates.

Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers, UK nutritionists found. Experts believe flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promote health.

These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage. Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption.

(HealthDay News) – Green tea may help protect against bladder inflammation, a new study says.

“We discovered that catechins found in green tea protected both normal and cancerous bladder cells from inflammation when we exposed the cells to hydrogen peroxide,” Dr. Michael B.

“Although further studies are needed, the results indicate herbal supplements from green tea could be a treatment option for various bladder conditions that are caused by injury or inflammation,” he said.
