What do you eat to make your skin white

First: canned light tuna (tuna with low mercury): this kitchen staple is rich in selenium, an antioxidant that protects skin cells from the sun, which can lead to skin cancer. According to a study of more than 500 adults by Australian scholars in 2009, people with the highest selenium content in their blood are 57% less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and 64% less likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma than people with the lowest selenium content. Other selenium rich foods include Turkey and fortified instant grains. The average person needs only 55 micrograms of selenium a day, which is about the equivalent of less than 3 ounces of canned light tuna.

Second: dark chocolate: a new study shows that if women drink two tablespoons of cocoa powder rich in flavonoids every day for 12 weeks, their skin will become significantly smoother, there will be more moisture on their skin, and their blood circulation will be more smooth. Eating one ounce of flavonoid rich dark chocolate a day can also achieve the same beauty effect. 　　

Third: black tea and orange peel: a study conducted by Dartmouth Medical School in 2007 showed that people who drink tea for a long time are half as likely to develop skin cancer, especially those who drink two or three cups of tea a day. This may be because tea contains polyphenols, which can resist ultraviolet radiation. Adding orange peel to tea can combine to increase their anti-cancer effect. Theaflavins in black tea and d-limonene in orange peel reduce the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by 88%, according to a study by the school of public health, University of Arizona.
