Goji Berries provide Natural Sunscreen

Sunscreen lotions block the sun’s UV rays, but your skin needs exposure to these rays to make vitamin D. This is a huge problem because vitamin D is a critical nutrient for your body. It’s a powerful antioxidant and mood booster that your skin cells make with the help of sunlight.

Not only do sunscreens block your body’s ability to produce vitamin D, their ingredients are toxic and have never been safety tested or safety approved by the FDA. A study in the April 2004 Journal of Chromatography found that the … After a month, the SOD group could withstand eight times the amount of exposure to UV rays without developing sunburn — an 800% increase in protection…

Unlike chemical sunscreens, SOD won’t stop the sun from helping your body make essential vitamin D while you’re out walking or gardening or spending time with your family outdoors. You get all the sun’s benefits and none of the risks.

The good news is there are ways to easily boost your SOD levels. The best food source comes from goji berries, also called wolfberries. These amazing goji berries have the ability to boost the production of SOD to more youthful levels. Studies found that treatment with wolfberry increased SOD activity in red blood cells while decreasing levels of harmful compounds in the skin.

You can now find goji berries in some specialty stores or online. But make sure you get them from a reputable source. Goji berries are grown in several different areas around the world, but the berries that you purchase will probably be from China where it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.

You can also find SOD in capsule form in health food stores. I recommend 500 mg a day.
