Foods that Protect from the Sun

Protecting your skin and hair from the damages of the sun is a #1 priority, especially in the summer! We're all about using physical barriers to protect yourself: sun block, cover ups, large hats, and more! But protecting yourself from the inside is just as important. Keeping your body healthy, happy, and nourished is half the battle when it comes to warding off exterior factors. Here are some foods to focus on that will help your body protect itself from the damaging rays of the sun. 
Fish - rich in Omega 3's
Red & Orange Fruits and Veggies (tomato, red/orange peppers) - high in lycopene
Dark Chocolate- thank you flavanoids! 
Cruciferous veggies (Broccoli, cauliflower, kale)- packed full of essential antioxidants 
Greens (Spinach, bok choy, collard, swiss chard, herbs)- antioxidants and polyphenols 

Hot Tea (Green & Black teas)- powerful polyphenols
