Cosmetologist talked about sun protection with food
With the onset of summer, there is a risk of getting sunburn. About which foods are able to protect from the scorching sun, June 26, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Ekaterina Anchikova, cosmetologist, dermatovenerologist for the d'Alba brand.
"Regular consumption of tomatoes and tomato paste is associated with a reduced risk of sunburn. Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation," Anchikova explained.
The cosmetologist noted that for the desired effect, tomatoes should be eaten in combination with vegetable fats, such as olive oil.
According to the expert, the inclusion of pomegranate, watermelon and dark-leaved vegetables in the diet, such as spinach or broccoli, helps protect the skin from sunburn.
Anchikova stressed that two to three cups of green tea a day will bring benefits to our body in hot sunny weather. Tea helps reduce the risk of certain types of skin cancer and protects against photoaging.
"Green tea contains catechins, which have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and protect the DNA of skin cells from UV damage," the doctor said.
To restore the skin after exposure to sunlight, Anchikova recommended eating fatty fish, which contains omega-3. Salmon, mackerel and herring will do. It is also worth eating bright orange vegetables and fruits to give your skin a healthy hue.
Despite the benefits of many products, in addition to nutrition during the sunny period, it is necessary to apply SPF to the skin, which protects the skin from the sun.
Earlier, on June 25, dermatologist and cosmetologist Zarema Omarova spoke about the impact of stress on skin aging. Under the influence of cortisol, the main stress hormone, the hydrolipidic balance is disrupted, the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid is inhibited, which causes the skin to become dry and dull.
