Eating more vegetables may make you more beautiful, according to new research from Britain. In fact, eating especially carotene-rich foods like tomatoes and carrots actually makes your skin look healthier and "sexier" than tanning, at least according to the geeks who did the study.According to Dr. Ian Stephen:
"Eating five more portions [of fruit and veg] ups your carotenoid levels giving your skin golden tones."
The antioxidants and carotenoids found in vegetables also help to fight toxins that can damage the skin and make it look less healthy. That skin health boost plus the changes in skin pigmentation and overall skin tone can make a significant improvement in your appearance.
According to Dr Stephen: "In humans, the more red and yellow tones found in the skin, the more attractive the people were found to be."
So there you have it: yet another reason to cut down on your junk food intake and eat your fruits and veggies!
