Food Can Fight Sun's UV Rays

Reading this blog you must think I spend my life in the kitchen eating. And every day I seek out health reasons to eat. That's actually not true as I'd much rather exercise than eat... however I just find it amazing that food can prevent so many ailments.

To protect against ultraviolet radiation ( UV) that can lead to skin cancer consume antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E. They ca protect your skin. Carotenoids are helpful as well and you can find them in fruits and vegetables. The polyphenols in green tea is a good source of protection as is omega-three found in fish. And don't forget Vitamins A And E.
