Protection from the sun inside out!!


Protecting the skin from the inside out is not that difficult. What you need to do is eating a lot of orange and yellow foods, which contains the most beta-carotene, which will not only protect the skin but also the eyes from the damage of the sun (I still recommend to wear sunglasses and sun cream if you are in the sun in the hottest of times such as from 11am till 3pm or and for a long periods of times). The foods that you should include in your diet in greater quantity for your protection are the following: carrots (juices or slightly cooked you absorb the beta-carotenes better), squash, pumpkins, cantaloupe melons, apricots, mangoes, yams, sweet potatoes, spinach and green peppers. To protect your eyes a bit more, blueberries and berries in general increase the range of antioxidants and therefore protect them more from the damage of the sun. In general colourful fruits and vegetables will be full of antioxidant and vitamins and you might also eat less of the sweet foods that do not contain any or little nutrients, therefore loosing weight as well, without much effort.…. Enjoy your spring and summer with the most nutritious food and you will see and feel the difference as well as getting a safer tan……
