Do you add lemon zest to you diet? How do you do this and in any particular?
The dietary factor best able to boost DNA repair was citrus fruit. Within 2 hours of consuming citrus, your DNA become significantly more resistant to damage, which may help explain why citrus consumption is associated with lower risk of breast cancer. Some of the citrus compounds thought responsible - which concentrate in the breast and enhance DNA repair - are found in the peel though. This may be why people who eat at least some citrus peel appear to have lower skin cancer rates than those who don't.
Stick with whole fruit, because supplements don’t seem to boost DNA repair, and citrus juice doesn’t appear to help, either. Green light forms of food always seem to be the best, and you can eat in an even less processed way by slipping some of the rind into your diet through zesting.
