Some fruits and vegetables contain a natural SPF factor.. Their consumption will help protect the skin from exposure to harmful sunlight, the researchers said..

Scientists say purple fruits and berries contain natural SPF. Black currant, blueberry, blackberry, as well as black grapes and figs, along with sunscreen, protect the skin from the harmful effects. There is an SPF factor in both orange and dark green vegetables - pepper, zucchini, cabbage and spinach. Due to the high level of antioxidants, these fruits and vegetables can convert free radicals in the body..

Experts concluded that the level of protection can be compared with sunscreen.

The more such fruits and vegetables are consumed, the higher the protection against UV radiation. They suppress the damaging effects of sunlight, neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation (redness).

According to nutritionists, this type of product has a protective effect against skin ultraviolet rays at any time of the day.. The protective effect extends to the entire skin, but it is very important not to forget about the use of sunscreen, experts said.
