5 Foods For Great Skin

There's no magic bullet you can take to Dorian Gray
yourself, but there are foods you can eat to help keep
your skin soft, smooth, and cancer-free:
Salmon is filled with omega-3 fatty acids, which protect
skin's collagen from damaging UV rays, studies show.
Hot chocolate. A recent study found that women who
drank cocoa every day were less prone to sunburn and
had smoother skin than women who didn't indulge.
Sweet potatoes. They're packed with vitamin A, which
may reduce your melanoma risk, according to a 2012
study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Leafy greens pack a UV-fighter called lutein, says
Elizabeth J. Johnson, Ph.D, of the Jean Mayer USDA
Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts
University.
Tomato sauce. One study found that people who consumed
the equivalent of 5 tablespoons of tomato paste a day
had 33 percent more protection against sunburn.
