At this point, you surely know that wearing SPF as well as hats and other protective clothing can help protect you from UV damage from sunlight.
You
also probably know at this point that adding antioxidants to your
skin-care routine can help, too. But which of the below
time-related eating habits was recently reported to protect skin from UV
damage?
A. Eating an early-bird dinner
B. Having breakfast as soon as you wake up
C. Eating two big meals per day
B. Having breakfast as soon as you wake up
C. Eating two big meals per day
ANSWER: A. File this under: Huh? Eating primarily in the daytime really could protect your skin, according to a recent study in the journal Cell Reports.
Here's why: Your body clock gives you a 12-hour window to eat. Noshing
beyond that is "abnormal" and throws off the work of your body's
enzymes, which all have important jobs. One such enzyme, xeroderma
pigmentosum group A (XPA), repairs UV-damaged skin. And when you dine
late, the activity cycle of XPA shifts, limiting its ability to repair
and protect your skin the next day. So try eating your last big meal
before 7 p.m., resist snacking at night, and, of course, bring on the
SPF.
