excerpts:
"You can prevent sunburn and skin cancer with the following foods:
Foods Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Known as “essential” fats because the body doesn’t produce them and they must be obtained through the diet, omega-3 fats are lauded for doing everything from protecting the brain to preventing inflammation. In addition to these great benefits, omega-3s can actually reduce sunburn sensitivity and help to prevent sunburn, according to a study from the Oxford Journals’ Carcinogenesis."
"Fatty fish like salmon and sardines are good sources of omega-3 fats, as are walnuts and flax seeds. If getting enough of these foods is a concern, you can supplement with a high quality fish oil supplement."
Prevent Sunburn with Broccoli and Other Veggies from the Brassica Family...
"Vegetables that belong to the Brassica family, including broccoli, kale, cabbage, mustard greens and spinach, are all rich in the cancer fighting chemical called sulforaphane glucosinolate."

III. Fish: Top Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Seafood is a great source for DHA and EPA omega-3s, both essential for healthy hearts and brains. Look for seafood rich in omega-3s, such as:
Halibut
Herring
Mackerel
Oysters
Salmon
Sardines
Trout
Tuna (fresh)
IV. The "Lifeguard UV Protection Salad"(aka, The "Sunburner")
 |
| Here it is! |
Kale, spinach, mustard greens, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, walnuts plus some fresh wild salmon."
No salmon? Replace it with edamame (green soybeans) as a source of Omega-3 fatty acids, protein and fiber.
Or try "wild rice", which is also a good source of Omega-3 and fiber.
Kidney beans and black beans are also good sources of Omega-3.
V. DESSERT TOO?!...
You betcha!... Follow that rockin' salad up with some hunks or wedges of watermelon for dessert! Party on, Garth!
VI. A BEVERAGE WITH THAT TASTY SALAD?!...
Getting thirsty? Drink some iced green tea for its antioxidant qualities that include sunburn prevention.
