Carrots!

Summer is coming and as every eve, lots of woman and men in the world want to be tanned.
The natural skin color can be darkened as a result of tanning due to exposure to sunlight.

The melanin is a pigment present in the skin that is primarily the responsible of its colour.
It protects us from the Sun absorbing UV-radiation and transforms the energy into harmless heat. 

Carotene is an orange photosynthetic pigment, important for photosynthesis. The Carotenes are responsible of the colour or the carrot, so they are named after it.

The carrot has β-Carotene and D-Vitamine. And increases the production of melanin.
It also helps clean the teeth and stimulates the secretion of saliva, that helps contribute to a good digestion.

That's the reason why I strongly recommend it if you want to be tanned, instead of the eternal and dangerous sunbaths.
