00:00It's very nice to be tanned, but is it enough to just expose yourself to the sun?
00:04No!
00:04Welcome to the Jean-Michel Cohen channel, the channel where we only talk about nutrition,
00:08where we don't take you for potatoes, and where we explain to you how to tan for this summer.
00:13Masterclass, personalized menu, individualized dietary follow-up,
00:18visit the website docteur.jeanmichelcohen.fr
00:22Tanning is very nice, first of all because it gives us a healthy look,
00:26and then sometimes it even softens, so we all want to be tanned.
00:30A little reminder, what is the skin for?
00:32The skin is a barrier, it is used for protection against everything,
00:35against shocks, against cuts, against sun rays,
00:40and at the same time the skin is used to secrete hormones,
00:42I remind you that it is because you receive sun that you manage to make vitamin D,
00:47which is so important for the bones and for immunity.
00:50What is tanning for?
00:52Well, it's not just about being beautiful, tanning is a protection.
00:56It is simply the skin that will send melanin to the surface,
01:00and this melanin will create a layer, and this layer will protect itself
01:05against B ultraviolets, which are toxic ultraviolets.
01:10But at the same time, you have to be careful because tanning,
01:13if you force yourself on tanning, the real problem is that you will accentuate
01:17the aging of the skin.
01:18What is the use of being tanned if it is to be shocked?
01:21We have some examples of what we see from time to time on the beach,
01:24people who are super tanned but who have a wrinkled skin, etc.,
01:28which is made under the influence of the sun.
01:30My question is, how to get a nice tan?
01:33So there are people who will tell you, well, I'm going to use cosmetic creams.
01:38So why do we use cosmetic creams?
01:40In fact, it is to tan gradually,
01:43because it is because you tan gradually
01:46that in fact you will have a good tan,
01:48and you will have a good protection for the skin,
01:51and you will avoid aging and at the same time a color, as you will choose.
01:55Cosmetic creams are essentially used to nourish the skin,
01:59because you have to have a good skin condition,
02:01and secondly, to protect yourself from B ultraviolets.
02:04But are there other ways than cosmetic creams
02:07that force you to tan, etc.?
02:09Yes, there is a way, by preparing the skin before to have a nice tan,
02:14or by using small food products that I know and that I will give you,
02:18that will allow you to have a nice tan.
02:21Food supplements, it may not be so bad.
02:25I swear that at the end I will give you the food supplements
02:27that will come out in a book that will arrive at the end of September,
02:30and which, in my opinion, were the nicest for this type of problem.
02:35So food for tanning is vitamin A.
02:39Why vitamin A?
02:41Simply because it is beta-carotene.
02:43And what is the color of the carrots?
02:45The color of the carrots is orange.
02:47And you know, we always make fun of little children who are given a lot of carrots,
02:52we say that they have pink buttocks.
02:53Well yes, beta-carotene allows you to color.
02:56So consuming vitamin A or foods that contain vitamin A
03:01is a way to improve tanning.
03:03In number 1, last year I told you that melon was a good product.
03:08Melon has an orange color,
03:10and it is really a way to recognize where there is vitamin A.
03:14The plus, in any case, is the color.
03:17And when you have a carrot-type color,
03:20then you know that it contains vitamin A.
03:22So I told you melon, and I can continue by telling you about potiron,
03:26or potimarron, or butternut squash.
03:29In fact, everything that will have this orange color.
03:32Or I could even talk about apricot.
03:34And something that is extremely fashionable at the moment is sweet potato.
03:37First of all, because more and more people prefer to eat sweet potato chips.
03:41By the way, I point out to you that it is a great product,
03:43because it is richer in fiber,
03:45and has almost the same caloric value as normal potatoes,
03:49except that it has a nice little taste.
03:51And even if there is a little more sugar, there is more fiber.
03:53But then there are other products in which we can find vitamin A,
03:57such as spinach, cress.
03:59But I prefer the first ones, because it is more easily identifiable.
04:02And honestly, guys, melon, apricot, potimarron,
04:06in fact, in short, everything that will have an orange color,
04:08is a must eat at this time of year.
04:11Second product, foods rich in tyrosine.
04:15Why tyrosine?
04:17Well, simply because tyrosine is a precursor of melanin.
04:21So if it's a precursor of melanin,
04:23if I give tyrosine, it's an amino acid, tyrosine,
04:26well, it will allow me to increase my production of melanin.
04:29So we find it in about all foods that contain proteins.
04:33But there are a few that I prefer to others.
04:35I like bananas, avocados.
04:37Seeds are rare for me.
04:39We will find it in seafood.
04:41It's the right time, recognize.
04:43And we will find it in some algae,
04:45including in spirulina, which is not really an algae,
04:48but which is a microorganism.
04:50There are people who love to eat spirulina.
04:52And in fact, you know that eating 5 grams of spirulina,
04:56it brings you almost 125%, I think, of the recommended dose of vitamin A.
05:00So it's not that bad.
05:02You see how we change, we evolve as we get to know each other.
05:05Sometimes I say something, and then a few years later,
05:07I have new scientific articles and I can correct things.
05:10After all this, we have to keep a good vitality to the skin.
05:14And you know what keeps a good vitality to the skin?
05:17It's fats, but it's not all fats.
05:19It's foods rich in omega-3.
05:21So earlier we talked about fish.
05:23Well, in fish, I'm going to tend to take what are called fatty fish.
05:27Number one of the number one is salmon.
05:29The tuna is nice, but all the tuna are not rich in fat.
05:33Mackerel, sardines, anchovies.
05:36But number one of the number one is salmon.
05:38It's weird, it's pink.
05:42Of course, you can also find omega-3 in oils.
05:45That is, you will have to choose your oils.
05:47Try to prioritize not olive oil,
05:49but colza oils or combined oils.
05:51Why? Because they are richer than the others in omega-3.
05:54Then there are classier oils like linseed oil, etc.
05:58But hey, we're not going to rush to buy linseed oil just because we want to tan,
06:01even though we don't eat it all the rest of the year.
06:03And then we will find for omega-3, once again, avocados.
06:06And if I want to continue to protect my skin,
06:09we said vitamin A, we said tyrosine to increase melanin.
06:14We said omega-3.
06:16Well, I'm also going to add vitamin E.
06:18That's good, because I find vitamin E, for example, in avocados.
06:21So the type of menu to tan.
06:23So let's imagine we really want to tan at all costs.
06:26We want to avoid taking food supplements, etc.
06:29Well, I just have to take a half melon out of work.
06:32I'm going to take a plate of salmon.
06:35I'm going to take it.
06:36Come on, if I'm tired of eating pink and I don't want to eat carrots,
06:40I might take spinach or I'm going to make a mix.
06:42And I don't have to eat that.
06:45And then I'm going to take, if I really want to go all the way,
06:47I'm going to take a little bit of cheese.
06:49There's also tyrosine in the cheese.
06:51And then I'll finish with a few apricots.
06:53And now I have a tan menu, guys.
06:55I have a tan menu, really.
06:57And at the same time, I ate well, because my salmon contained omega-3.
07:01But I could have added something.
07:04I don't know, in the spinach or in the carrots.
07:06I would have put a little bit of fat.
07:08I would have put a little bit of colza oil.
07:10And I would have made a tan menu.
07:11It's easy to do that.
07:13And at the same time, it works.
07:14You know, we talk a lot about turmeric.
07:16Turmeric, it has this color, a little yellow, spicy, a little orange, etc.
07:22And there are a lot of people who have started eating turmeric.
07:25So, I'm just telling you, it's absolutely useless.
07:27I did a whole bio table of the product.
07:29It's not because you eat turmeric that you don't have cancer.
07:31On the other hand, turmeric is a good thing to try to tan.
07:35That means that in the menu that I gave you earlier,
07:38I'm going to sprinkle a little bit with turmeric.
07:40And then, I might even do it quite regularly.
07:44It's not that bad.
07:45Nothing dangerous to do.
07:47And at the same time, it will help to increase your ability to tan.
07:50So, food supplements.
07:52I'm telling you, I have to look because I wrote the book.
07:55I don't remember all the stuff.
07:56I found some products that were not bad.
07:58There was Eunobiol Perfect Self-Tanning Bronzer.
08:01UV Skin from NHCo.
08:03Luxeol Solar and Sun Active from Aragon.
08:07These were the products that I had analyzed, I had looked at.
08:10And it was not bad.
08:11To increase tanning, it had two advantages.
08:13It increased the ability to tan, but at the same time protect the skin.
08:16Don't forget that protecting the skin is really important.
08:18There are very serious diseases that can come from that.
08:22So, be very careful.
08:23That's what I had to tell you.
08:25I hope you're going to tan like crazy.
08:27That you're going to be on point.
08:28That you're going to be very beautiful.
08:30And that you might send me pictures to show me.
08:32If you liked this video,
08:34you like, you share, you comment.
08:36You give me video ideas.
