Tomatoes
A powerful source of the antioxidant lycopene, tomatoes prevent premature aging and help to protect skin from the damaging effects of the sun. In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, participants with a diet rich in tomatoes suffered minimal sun damage after being exposed to UV rays, as compared to those who didn't include tomatoes in the diet. The body can process lycopene best after tomatoes are cooked or processed, so concentrate on including tomato sauces and soups in your diet.
