新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)表明某些食物可以幫助肌膚免受陽光紫外線的侵害。但是,一盤沙拉并不能代替防曬霜,這些健康食物可以加強身體內(nèi)在機能,保護皮膚不受侵害并延緩細(xì)胞衰老。
Citrus Fruits 柑橘類水果
Citrus fruits have the potent ingredient limonene, associated with a whopping 34 percent lower risk of skin cancer in one University of Arizona study of 470 women and men.
柑橘類水果含有豐富的檸檬烯。亞利桑那大學(xué)對470位女性和男性進行的研究表明,檸檬烯可以將患皮膚癌的風(fēng)險降低34%
Green tea 綠茶
This delicately flavored tea is full of antioxidants called EGCGs. Among their health-promoting capabilities: EGCGs stopped genetic damage in human skin cells exposed to UV light in one University of Wisconsin study.
綠茶所含有的抗氧化劑叫做茶多酚。威斯康星大學(xué)的研究表明茶多酚可以使暴露在紫外線下的肌膚免受基因損害。
Carrots 胡蘿卜
Carrots—or any other red, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetables—are packed with carotenoids, and studies show they reduce sunburn intensity.
胡蘿卜或者任何紅色,黃色及橙色水果和蔬菜都富含類胡蘿卜素,研究表明這些果蔬可以降低日曬強度。
Red Peppers 紅椒
Like carrots, red peppers are also especially helpful in reducing sunburn intensity.
和紅蘿卜一樣,紅椒在降低日曬強度方面有顯著效果。
Spinach 菠菜
Leafy greens, like dark green lettuce, spinach, kale, and Swiss chard, are top sources of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which halted cell growth prompted by UV light in animal studies.綠葉蔬菜,如綠色萵苣,菠菜,甘藍(lán)菜和唐萵苣均含有非常豐富的抗氧化劑葉黃素和玉米黃素,這些抗氧化劑可以阻止紫外線引起的細(xì)胞生長。
Salmon 三文魚
This fish is a great source of oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids. In a small British study, fish oils guarded against sunburn and DNA changes that can lead to cancer.
三文魚的魚油富含豐富的脂肪酸。研究表明魚油可以預(yù)防易引發(fā)癌癥的曬黑曬傷和DNA改變。
Walnuts 核桃
Like salmon, walnuts are high in essential fatty acids that could guard against sunburn.
和三文魚一樣,核桃也富含有豐富的人體必需脂肪酸,而這類脂肪酸可以抵御曬傷曬黑。
