A team of researchers at Rutgers University, New Jersey have found a new cure to fighting skin cancer by the unique combination of exercise and caffeine.The study, which has been conducted successfully on mice, suggests that the combination of coffee and exercise can increase destruction of precancerous cells that had been damaged by the sun’s ultraviolet-B radiation.
Scientists are now hoping that the new study would be successful on human beings but added that people should continue to use sunscreen.
The results, which appeared in Tuesday’s issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, revealed that exposing the mice to ultraviolet-B light causes some skin cells to become precancerous.
In a process called apoptosis, the cells with damaged DNA are programmed to self-destruct. However, not all the cells can do so thus they can become cancerous.
Though the scientists are still not very clear as to why the combination of caffeine and exercise can reduce cancer cell but they believe that mice drinking caffeine were more active, leading them to do more exercise.
Both caffeine and exercise helped eliminate damaged skin cells and the combination worked better together than individually.
However, researchers also added that there is a need for this concept of systemic caffeine to be addressed further.
You made some good points there. I looked online for the issue and discovered many people will go along with with your website.
