Nutrients to prevent skin cancer

According to Malaysia's officially published National Cancer Registry data, skin cancers account for 2.6% of cancer cases in the country. While this may seem like a small number, Malaysians must take this matter seriously. Skin cancer can be avoided with good care and nutrition, and Kuvings Malaysia is here to recommend certain nutrients that will help protect your skin.

Key Nutrients to Prevent Skin Cancer

Vitamin C 

• Benefits: Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure. It also stimulates collagen formation, which improves skin health and repair.

• Sources include oranges, strawberries, kiwi, bell peppers, and broccoli.

• Juice Recipe: Try a refreshing citrus combination with oranges, strawberries, and kiwi using your Kuvings slow juicer.

Vitamin E

• Benefits: Vitamin E works with Vitamin C to give protection from antioxidants. It contributes to the neutralisation of free radicals and the reduction of UV damage.

• Sources: Almonds, sunflower seeds, spinach, and avocados.
• Juice Recipe: Combine spinach and avocado with apple for a nutrient-rich green juice.

Beta-Carotene

• Benefits: Beta-carotene is converted into Vitamin A in the body, which is essential for skin health. It helps protect the skin from sun damage and promotes skin cell regeneration.
• Sources: Carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and mangoes.
• Juice Recipe: Mix your orange juice with carrots, mangoes, and a hint of ginger for an extra boost.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

• Benefits: Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and can protect the skin from sunburn and long-term UV damage.
• Sources: Flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish like salmon.
• Juice Recipe: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds to your favorite fruit juice for an omega-3 boost.
