Did you know, that the food you eat and nutrients you consume play a role in how susceptible you are to roasting in the sunshine?
Healthy from the inside out
Ensuring you regularly consume an adequate range of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods has a myriad of benefits – especially for boosting your natural immunity to sun damage.
There are a wide array of foods containing important nutrients that offer sun protection, and most of them are readily available during Summer… Clever Mother Nature!
Our recipe ingredients were picked with their skin protective properties and complementary flavours in mind. It's a perfect Summertime lunch or dinner.
