Jog a mile, sip a coffee to keep cancer at bay!

New Delhi: What is the connection between caffeine and jogging?

Well there is a new study that says that the combination of the two may just keep skin cancer away.

So doctors recommend that you start your day with a jog and a cup of coffee and you could protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

The new study by the Rutgers University conducted on mice suggests that the combination of caffeine and exercise appears to kill some of the pre-cancerous cells damaged by the sun's ultraviolet-B(UVB) radiation.
