Skin Care, Anti-Aging and Health Tips and Advice
Limiting Sun Damage
May 2005
MONTHLY SKIN CARE TIP
Eating Fish
It has been found that the healthy fats in fish (omega-3s) reduce the damage skin cells undergo when exposed to UV light. A serving of fish consists of four grams of omega-3s or seven ounces of salmon.
Drink Tea
Both green and black teas may help you fend off skin cancer. It's found that people drinking black tea had a 40% lower risk of developing squamous-cell skin cancer than those who don't drink black tea. Certain compounds in green tea suggest that it may act as an anti-inflammatory or antioxidant, which help skin cells fend off cancerous changes. Even wiping green-tea extract onto your skin may improve its immunity.
Aspirin
This drug reduces inflammation and, if taken when you're in the throes of a sunburn, might help save your skin.
Eat Papaya and Tomatoes
Both contain vitamin C and E, and studies have shown that these antioxidants can inhibit ultraviolet-induced skin damage. If they are not an option for you, bell peppers, strawberries, and citrus fruits are also high in vitamin C while cooked spinach, pumpkin, and broccoli are high in vitamin E.
