5 Foods that keep you summer sexy

1. Strawberries: Block sunburn

They have ellagic acid, a compound that protects against UV radiation. This acid works by reducing the release of molecules linked to inflammation. Plus, the acid preserves skin-smoothing collagen.

Load up now on dark greens for their lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that can filter out damaging blue-light rays.

3. Tart Cherry Jucie: Gives you staying power

It’s outdoor-sports time, but postexercise soreness can cramp your summer-partying style. Runners who drank it pre-race had 67% less pain afterward than nonsippers.

4. Green Tea: Shrinks your stomach

Meet your bikini body secret weapon. The brew’s antioxidants may help block fat absorption.

5. Garlic: kicks ticks

People who popped garlic pills got fewer tick bites than placebo takers. Garlic may change the way you taste, turning off the bloodsuckers.
