In summer, ultraviolet rays can seriously hurt our skin to cause various skin problems. Therefore, it is necessary for us to resist the harm caused by the ultraviolet rays. Except for high-quality skin care products, six kinds of common food can effectively help us resist ultraviolet rays and protect our skin. 

1.yellow food
Yellow food like carrot and mango usually contains abundant carotene and other beneficial nutrients. The adequate intake of yellow food can help us resist oxidation and enhance the immunity to ultraviolet rays. However, the intake amount must be controlled strictly. For example, if people eat too many carrots, the excessive carotene can be accumulated inside the human body to produce toxins and affect the skin.

2.soy bean products
Soy bean contains a kind of vegetarian female estrogen called “isoflavone”. Isoflavone can defer the aging and resist oxidation for our skin. In our daily life, we can choose soy bean milk and bean curd.

3.fresh fruit
Vitamin C plays an important role in protecting our skin. Various kinds of fruit like strawberry and orange contain a large amount of vitamin C. The adequate supplementation of vitamin C can enhance the immunity of our skin to alleviate the harm of ultraviolet rays in summer.

4.nut
Generally speaking, plant oil contains abundant vitamin E which can resist oxidation and eliminate the free radicals inside the human body. Nut usually contains rich plant oil and vitamin E. The absorption of vitamin E can repair the skin which has been hurt by strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

5.green tea
According to the research in America, the intake of green tea can effectively alleviate the loose skin and decrease the content of hyperoxide. The tea polyphenol contained in green tea can effectively resist oxidation. The research has proved that the anti-oxidation ability of tea polyphenol is much stronger than that of vitamin E. However, we can not drink too much green tea. The content of caffeine contained in green tea is high. The excessive intake of caffeine can hurt our stomach and intestines. Generally speaking, we can drink two cups of green tea every day.

6.hot cocoa
Chocolate contains abundant anti-oxidants like flavonoid. Therefore, the moderate intake of chocolate can protect the human skin. Among all the chocolate products, cocoa contains most abundant anti-oxidants. Therefore, we can drink one cup of hot cocoa each day to struggle with ultraviolet rays.
