THAT YOU TAN Tan foods: foods that stimulate tan and recipes to bring them to the table I'd like a tomato and carrot salad, a slice of watermelon, a cherry and apricot salad. And, then ... I would like black leather. Yes, because, in summer, the ambition is to 'gild' every inch of skin, to exhibit a complexion of envy . Well, if that's your goal, take a seat at the table. Because the perfect tan starts from there. There are, in fact, foods that promote tanning . And summer is full of them. These are foods with a high content of beta-carotene , precursor of vitamin A , which favors the production of melanin (an essential element for a flawless tan). Ingredients to be integrated in the diet in an important way at least one month before exposure (so as to stimulate the production of melanin in time and gradually tan). But what are these prodigious foods? At the top of the ranking of suntan foods, orange fruit and vegetables : carrots, radicchio, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, melon, peaches, cherries, strawberries, watermelon and apricots are the super foods of the summer. But these warm-colored ingredients are not alone on the table of the season. Green leafy vegetables are also rich in beta-carotene , such as spinach and romaine lettuce, turnip greens and chard, parsley and rocket. Vegetables that are friends of tanning and allies of health, which lend themselves to endless light and tasty preparations. Preparations to be preferred raw, so as to allow the body to assimilate all the nutrients present in precious foods, without losing them due to cooking. And, in summer, 'light and tasty preparations' means: salads . Of vegetables, fruit, but also fruit and vegetables together. Then, of course, pasta , rice and cereal salads . A few examples?
