Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Safe Sun Practices

The sun can have detrimental effects if you are exposed to too much of it over an extended period. Excessive UV radiation can lead to the creation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, as well as free radicals. It's important to find a safe balance to derive benefits from the sun without causing excessive stress on the body.

2. Diet

One natural way to protect your skin is through diet. Consuming a diet rich in antioxidants and polyphenols can help mitigate oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals. Include brightly colored fruits and vegetables, olive oil, and avocado in your diet.

3. Natural Sun Practices

If you plan to spend an extended period outdoors, consider wearing sunscreen. Opt for non-nano particle zinc oxide sun lotion, or you can make your own sunscreen. Alternatively, wearing a sun shirt provides additional protection.
