Certain Foods Are Capable Of Increasing Sun Resistance In Your Skin?

Certain foods are capable of increasing sun resistance in your skin?

Here at Janesce we call these ‘sunscreen foods’. Numerous studies have proven their photo-protective benefits. In one study it was found that people who ate oily fish at least once a week were 28% less likely to develop skin cancer.
Half a glass of wine daily reduced your risk by 27%. It’s thought the Omega 3 in oily fish and the antioxidants in wine help the skin cope with UV radiation.

But these aren’t the only nutrients in food that are protective.

Brazil nuts are a rich source of selenium. In 2009 a study showed that higher levels of selenium in the blood reduced the risk of skin cancer by half.

Green tea contains antioxidants that reduce skin inflammation and cell damage caused by sun exposure.
Carotenoids are another valuable group of nutrients that are found in abundance in orange and yellow fruits and vegetables and leafy greens. There are many studies that demonstrate the sun-protecting benefits of carotenoids. Betacarotene (a common carotenoid) improved the skin’s ability to protect itself from the sun.

Lycopene, a nutrient found in tomatoes, has been shown to greatly reduce the redness that results from sun exposure. In one study, people that consumed tomato paste daily showed an average of 40% less redness than the control group.

Astaxanthin, a red carotenoid found in plants and algae was found to help prevent skin cancer.  Studies over the last 20 years found it to be a very powerful antioxidant. It exhibits one of the strongest protective actions of all the carotenoids.
