\"\"The number 3 best foods to get an internal SPF for your skin include all things that have\u00a0carotenes\u00a0in them. And like everything else in the world, if a little is good, a lot it not.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>That’s because if you eat too many carrots and your skin will turn orange\/yellow, like a jaundiced oompa loompa. This condition is called carotenemia, and happens because the carotenes you eat get deposited in your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It\u2019s reversible though, no worries. Just step away from that sweet potato pie for a couple of days and you\u2019re skin will go back to normal. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The good news is that those same carotenes found in all yellow\/orange veggies as well as kale and green leafys also absorb both natural and artificial UV radiation, which is the same function of the naturally occurring melanin in your skin. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Maybe you want to skip your veggies and dose up on carotenes with megavitamins. Think again loompa, because recent studies have found that high dose pills actually increase the risk of lung cancer among those who smoke. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Increase it. So don\u2019t think too hard. Seriously. Just eat food. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
While you\u2019re munching on your carrot, you might want to add something red to your plate as well. Tomato paste, sun dried tomatoes, and cooked tomatoes all have another species of carotene called lycopene. The equivalent of 2.5 tablespoons of tomato paste (16 mg lycopene) over 8 weeks produced measurable <\/span>protection from sunburn<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n


\n<\/span>So include orange and red foods like tomatoes, carrots, and squash every chance you get, to boost your skin\u2019s ability to prevent damaging sunburn.<\/span><\/p>\n
