Most of us try to stay away from the harmful UV rays by using sunscreens and covering our exposed body parts. Even then we cannot fully avoid the damage done by the harmful rays. We use natural therapy and other beauty products to reverse the effect caused by the sun. They help us do so to some extent and the rest damage can be fixed in our own kitchens.
The food we eat can actually help to protect our skin from sun damage. A few health tips can take us a long and healthy way. Antioxidants have been medically proved to be our best bet against it. They contain nutrients that help repair and rejuvenate the skin damaged due to sun rays. Antioxidant rich foods make our skin look younger and healthier.
Cherries have Melatonin that protects the skin against Ultra Violet rays. It also helps in repairing sun burned skin. Green tea is another antioxidant rich EGCG which fights inflammation in skin. It even prevents wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. Pomegranate seeds reduce the ability of UVB radiation that causes cancer promoting damage cells in skin. They offer anti inflammatory benefits to our skin. Fish is another good source to protect your skin against sun damage. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids which are good for our skin and health.
We are what we eat. Our food habits can help us to stay healthy and save us from harmful effects of Ultra Violet rays.
