"You are what you eat." When it comes to sun protection, this age-old adage may hold some clout—but don't start gobbling up the SPF 60. Loading up on certain antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables could help to prevent sun damage from the inside out. Make nutrition, sunscreen, and sun-safe habits all a part of your safe sun arsenal.
Most Canadians are finally—and happily—soaking up some warm summer sun. While we’re aware of the importance of protecting our skin from sun damage during the hot summer months, did you know that what you eat could also be important in protecting you from the negative effects of sun exposure?
