Ultra-Violet (UV) Rays

As the environment's condition worsens around us all over the world, with the ozone layer being torn apart, we are experiencing more UV rays in our daily lives.

This is especially so in some countries such as Australia.

In Australia and especially in the state of Queensland, it is very advisable to put on hats/caps, sun-glasses, and sun-screen lotion or even long sleeve shirts/blouses and long skirts/pants etc when outdoors.

And as an added guard against these harmful effects on the skin and other parts of the body, one may like to consume veges/fruities with lotsa bright colours (eg red, green, yellow, orange and even white etc). These veges/fruities provide strong protection against many skin and other diseases that are mainly caused by pollution and UV rays.

Carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, water-melons, mangoes, strawberries, sweet potatoes, spinach, yam etc provide the necessary minerals like beta-carotene to fight against the nasty effects of pollution and UV rays that make ageing fast. Moreover with such intake of these foodie regularly, also are great for the eyes nourishment  as well.
