You’d never guess it, but you can protect your body from damaging UV rays from the inside out! Foods you eat can actually help your body protect itself from sun damage either before or after it occurs! And not surprisingly, these foods are often in season in Summer. Now, these foods do not replace sunscreen, but they can supplement your skin’s health as you enjoy soaking in the sun this summer and refill on vitamin D!

1.) Tomatoes
There are two major nutrients from tomatoes that aid in sun protection: Lycopene and Lutein. Lycopene actually absorbs UVA and UVB (UVA means UV Aging, and UVB means UV Burning) rays as they reach the skin. Lycopene and Lutein are also antioxidants, so they reduce the damage the sun causes to your skin as the damage occurs.

2.) Watermelon
Watermelon is actually another fantastic source of Lycopene, but it’s also incredibly hydrating! Hydration is important, not just in the summer time when you’re sweating and need to replace fluids and electrolytes, but because dehydrated skin increases signs of aging. Watermelon also helps resupply your skin with Vitamin A (retinol) and Vitamin C so it has an antioxidant effect plus it helps reverse the damage you’ve already received from previous sun exposure!

3.) Green Tea
Green tea is high in a specific polyphenol (polyphenol-epigallocatechin gallate) that can protect human cells from sun on the DNA level. The antioxidants in green tea are also amazing for reducing damage and inflammation from the sun’s rays.

4.) Coffee
Here’s to my coffee lovers like myself! While research is based on 4 cups a day with little to no sweeteners in those cups, you can attribute those cups with a 20% reduced chance of developing skin cancer! The caffeine in coffee helps with UV-induced apoptosis, i.e. cell death, specifically precancerous cells. In layman’s terms, caffeine can kill cancer cells. That’s some pretty amazing news!

5.) Berries
Berries are one of my favorite refreshing treats in the summertime, and they like me too! They like us enough to actually help our bodies reduce the inflammatory response we have to sun exposure, and slow the break down of collagen from sun damage! Certain red berries can actually contain those same Lycopene and carotenoids that you find in tomatoes that actually absorb UV rays for your skin so you reduce your chances of harming your cells.

It never ceases to amaze me how so much of the fruits and vegetables in season are precisely the compounds we need to survive the season as a species! Even though you should still wear sunscreen while consuming these foods and beverages, you can always benefit your skin by choosing specific foods to address your seasonal needs.
