Here’s a weird one that sounds like a rumor from summer camp, but it’s true: celery can make you extra sensitive to the sun. Seriously. This is called phytophotodermatitis, and it’s a real party pooper.
Think of it this way: you make a big green smoothie with tons of celery, then you head to the beach for an afternoon. A few hours later, your skin might look like you fell asleep under a magnifying glass. The chemicals in celery (psoralens) basically put a bullseye on your skin for UV rays. So, if you’re juicing celery every morning, don’t skip the sunscreen. Your skin will thank you for not looking like a tomato.
