The next time you go to the beach, consider drinking a shot of tomato, watermelon, pink grapefruit, or guava juice before heading out. It will protect you against sun damage. The red-orange color of these fruits comes from lycopene, which, among other benefits you’ve seen in earlier chapters, protects DNA from the ionizing radiation damage from the sun. Also think about having a shot of tomato or watermelon juice before going to the dentist, who may take an X-ray of your teeth, or before getting on an airplane, where a dose of radiation during the flight will be unavoidable. Lycopene is also protective against DNA damage caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. [2019] - William W Li

If a woman doesn't want any nearby male to approach, she keeps her shoes on and covers her body with more than her clothing. But, rest assured, any time a woman reveals more of herself to you (let a shoe dangle on her toes, or loosen her clothing, etc.), it's no accident. She wants you to come over. [2006] - Leil Lowndes
