  2. It's summer time! Let's enjoy eating delicious grilled food and have fun in soaking up some rays at the beach. Here are some tips to decrease cancer risks while enjoying Summer: Cancer is not a hindrance for a Fun and Exciting Summer!

  3. 1. Keep the Grill Clean. The blackened areas on grilled food like fish and meat contain a chemical called Carcinogenic. This can lead to cancer. To lower the intake of carcinogen: • Try choosing leaner meats and trimming the fat well before grilling, because when fat and juice drip from meat, flames flare up and create more smoke, which leads to carcinogen formation • When grilling, flip frequently • Use acid based marinades like lemon rather than sugary marinades • Cook with less heat. • You can also replace grilled meats with vegetables. • Avoid processed meats. They might taste good, but contain cancer-causing substances. • Always be reminded to maintain healthy weight and exercise regularly.

  4. 2. Exposure to the sun’s rays is fun but too much is harmful and may lead to skin cancer. Here are some tips to prevent skin cancer: • Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 and above when going out. Check the labels for expiration date. • Check your entire body for changes in your skin on a monthly basis. • Stay in the shade especially between 10 AM and 2 PM. • Wear clothes that can cover your arms and legs. • Use a hat and sunglasses. • Avoid indoor tanning. It may cause premature skin aging, like wrinkles and age spots. This summer enjoy the sun and lessen cancer risk.
