ESPCertain foods help your body fight oxidative stress caused by UV exposure which helps lower your risk for skin damage and some cancers. Here’s what to eat to keep your skin looking healthy:
• Tomatoes, carrots, spinach, berries—these are packed with antioxidants like lycopene and beta-carotene.
• Avocado, nuts, and olive oil support skin elasticity and reduce inflammation.
• Water helps maintain skin barrier function—don’t skip it in the El Paso heat.
• Think omega-3s
Salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts help calm inflammation.
• Limit processed + sugary foods
These can increase inflammation and oxidative stress.
• For an easy, portable, and skin-protective treat, swap your afternoon snack for berries + almonds.
