Start your morning with green tea or match tea, iced or hot. The tea contains a natural chemical and antioxidants that fight free radicals and inflammations.According to a study drinking two cups a day could lower incidence of melanoma. However, as it contains caffeine it is dehydrating so limit your intake to three to four cups a day. Rooibos tea is a good alternative, as it is caffeine-free but still contains good antioxidants.Why do we need antioxidants? Briefly, as skin ages and exposure to UV radiation increases skin cells lose their ability to regenerate, which is partly due to low antioxidant activity of cells coupled with a rise in free radicals that cause damage to skin.

Oatmeal has a free radical fighting antioxidant called avenanthramides that you can't find in any other food. A bowl a day for breakfast is a good daily intake.

Eat a lot of vitamin C-rich berries and fruits such as strawberries, blackberries and kiwi during the summer months. The vitamin C and the phytonutrient act like a natural sunblock and helps to prevent you from burning.A 100-gram of strawberries and 1.5 kiwis cover your daily need of vitamin C. You can eat a lot of fruits each day, but I would suggest eating it with other foods that will limit the sugar uptake.

Tomatoes are one of the top sun damaged super foods. All types of tomatoes are full of antioxidants that help to protect your skin from UV-radiation. The vitamin C and the lycopene found in tomatoes helps to keep the skin hydrated and fight free radicals. Cooked tomatoes contain even more lycopene than fresh ones.Lycopene has other health benefits including improving the heart health and preventing diabetes. According to a study, if you eat four tablespoons of tomato paste in olive oil each day for three months it will protect you against sunburn.

Leafy greens are high in vitamin A and help to protect you from the UV radiation, limit dryness and irritation of your skin. Eat greens twice a day for the best results. I would suggest using spinach as a foundation to your salad as it is rich in beta-carotene.Try to avoid lettuce if it is iceberg lettuce, it is a huge environment villain. Spinach is good, so is maché, arugula that contain a lot of vitamins and minerals.

If you need a treat, dark chocolate is the one to eat during the summer as it contains antioxidants called flavonoids (just like green tea). It makes your skin smoother and protect from the sun's radiation. I suggest eating chocolate that has more than 70% cacao, and keep it to not more than one package a week.

Carrots are another sun fighting power food. The beta-carotene in carrots, which the body converts to vitamin A, has been linked to reduce reaction to sunburn. Try to eat a few carrots a day.Cut them in sticks and eat them with guacamole, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids and helps to reduce the risk of sunburn and develop an even skin tone. Dairy products like natural yogurt, also contains a lot of vitamin A. If carrots is not your favorite you can go with other vitamin A food such as liver and other organ meats, eel, root vegetables, fruit, tuna, egg, low fat dairy, mango, kale, apricot, spinach and nettles.

Buttermilk is a great tool against dehydration. It has salt, water, curd and spices all mixed to make a delicious drink. It also contains a lot of vitamins and reduces high blood pressure.

This vinegar is a good home ready for sunburns. Spray the white vinegar directly on the affected skin or use a compress. Alternatively, can be Aloe Vera gel but I don't recommend to substitute with apple cider vinegar.
