With the temperature rising so high, we are facing several problems. Even just being outside for a few minutes end up in having Sunburn. The skin becomes all red, hot and tight. Many people just ignore or overlook the minor burns on the skin, but your skin can’t do the same. Therefore it is essential to take care of the skin. You might now be aware of it, but even the risk of skin cancer can be reduced if you use sun protection with the necessary SPF which is ideal for your skin.
But is that the only way to protect your skin against harmful rays of the sun? A lot can be improved if we correct our consumption habits and things. Yes, certain foods are effective in protecting your skin from harmful rays of the sun. So along with the sunscreen as your shield, prepare your body internally as well to guard itself against the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Following are the listed 3 vitamins you can have to improve the natural SPF of your skin:
1. Vitamin A
Apart from protecting your skin against sunburn, this is ideal in making your skin soft and even helpful in giving it a good color. There are chances that you might not know about the source of Vitamin A. It is actually found in animal products like eggs, cheese, tuna fish, butter, etc. Plant products like carrots, broccoli, and spinach constitute of carotene which is later transformed into Vitamin A by the body.
Vitamin A, as well as carotene, requires fat in order to aid their absorption by the body. In simple terms, they are fat soluble and hence you need to add a little quantity of fat as well. For instance, you can add a few drops of vegetable oil to cook them.
2. Vitamin C
Many of you might know it for strengthening the immune system of the body, but it is helpful in enhancing the body’s own sun protection too. It even features antioxidant effects. Lemon, grapefruits, sea buckthorn, oranges, strawberry, peppers, etc are some good sources of vitamin C that you can include in your diet in order to improve your natural SPF.
3. Vitamin E
Again vitamin E also strengthens your immune system like vitamin C. It even is an antioxidant. The vitamin is proven effective in protecting the skin against many free radicals formed in the skin through UV rays. These radicals are responsible for accelerating your skin aging process and even lead to harmful diseases. We do love basking under the sun but frequent sunbathing ends up in further skin damage but you can fight against it as well with regular consumption of vitamin E. Sunflower and avocado oil along with nuts like almonds, walnuts, etc and whole grain products are very rich sources of this valuable vitamin.
With their regular consumption, your body will definitely be guarded against harmful rays of the sun. These vitamins will definitely work well but at the same time don’t forget to rely on your high-quality sunscreen too.
