[交流] Eating fruit and veg makes you SEXIER

Eating fruit and veg makes you SEXIER


You know eating fruit and vegetables is virtuous. But did you know it can also make you look good?

People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.

Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them subtly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers’ skin.

They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks.

Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.

Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids, which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer.

But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange, it was not known a small increase was perceptible to others - and was seen as appealing.

A camera measured changes to the skin’s redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident at three weeks.

Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin.

There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene - which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour - and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach.

Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols, found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.


Before and after: A study has found that eating a diet of fruit and vegetables can lead to a person having a healthy glow and appearing more attractive in just six weeks

Yes..That's true in a way!!!
In fact, by origin, we were vegetarian...
Nature designed our body to eat and digest vegs and fruits...
But as population increased, we became carnivorous!!!
We should eat more fruits in the morning...
And take as much vegetables (mostly raw) during taking meat..
Avoid taking too much meat..
Eat Green and Be Happy, Charming and Healthy!!!!
Be a friend of your problem....you will love it.

Thank you for sharing!

"One apple a day, keep the doctor away."
It is well known that eating fruit and vegs is beneficial to our health.
In the mean time, the article shows that eating them can also make us sexier.
Buddies, if you wanna be more beautiful or handsome, just eat a diet of fruit and vegs
