Don’t fear the sun. Fear conventional sunscreens full of chemicals and toxins. There are many alternatives to conventional sunscreen. You can do this through proper nutrition, eliminating concerning seed oils, and addressing nutrient deficiencies. Antioxidants= edible sunscreen! When antioxidants stop free radicals in their tracks, they also prevent DNA damage, thereby decreasing mutations and reducing the risk of burning. Two powerful antioxidants are carotenoids and polyphenols. They accumulate in the skin and absorb sunlight of various wavelengths. The best way to protect against burning is from the inside out. Here are my top 5 picks:

Green Tea

Carrots

Wild Salmon

Blueberries

Watermelon
