How Nutrition Can Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Dr. Jen Haley talks with Julie Gibson Clark about how a veggie-rich diet can help protect your skin from sun damage. Julie, a former competitive swimmer who rarely used sunscreen, shares how her diet may have helped her skin stay resilient.

Key Takeaways:

  • Plants as sunscreen – Phytonutrients that protect plants from UV rays might do the same for your skin.
  • Eat the rainbow – Different colored veggies provide unique protective compounds.
  • Fern extract boost – Polypodium leucotomos can naturally increase your skin's SPF to around 7.
  • Start small – A “greens latte” is an easy way to add more veggies to your day.
  • Balance over perfection – Healthy eating matters, but it’s important not to stress about being perfect.
