Don’t eat citrus fruit before a day in the sun! Because citrus contains compounds that make skin more vulnerable to UV light. A study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology followed 100-thousand people for 25 years. And skin cancer risk was highest in those who ate oranges and grapefruit daily, and lowest in those who ate it twice a week. But skin photosensitivity drops over time. So if you wait 4 hours after eating citrus to get some sun, you’ll cut your risk for skin cancer.

You don’t have to EAT a grapefruit to get a quick energy boost. Just inhaling the scent of grapefruit increases energy levels and alertness. It turns out, the chemical that gives the fruit its aroma – called limonene – stimulates our sympathetic nervous system. And that gets our body revved up. And bonus points: The scent also decreases hunger and appetite. So try taking a whiff of grapefruit essential oil when you need a boost.

If you’re feeling down in the dumps, eat more citrus fruit! According to the journal Biological Psychiatry, citrus is the perfect mood-booster – because it’s full of vitamin C……Which helps regulate the brain chemicals that affect our mood, including dopamine and adrenaline. And eating at least one piece of citrus fruit daily will lift your mood within days.

They all contain major antioxidants. And the more different types of fruits and vegetables you eat – the better. Because people who get a variety of produce – and therefore a variety of antioxidants – have greater health benefits. So try eating more of these 3…

Grapefruit: The antioxidants in grapefruit, the ones that make it bitter, may help treat diabetes! They break down the fatty acids in your liver the same way diabetes drugs do.

Cranberries: They have antimicrobial properties – which means they protect you from infections. They also reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries – and help prevent the growth of some cancer cells.

Finally, have more garlic. It lowers blood pressure and prevents certain cancers. It also lowers bad cholesterol – reducing your risk of heart disease.
