Vegetables’ Rosy Glow

Recent research shows that a veg diet is as beneficial for beauty as it is for health. Researchers from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland asked 54 men and women to use computer manipulation to adjust people’s skin tone to make it look healthier and more attractive. They made skin rosier, brighter, and more yellow. Scientists say the best way to achieve this desirable complexion is not to get a tan, but to eat ample fruits and vegetables. Rosy skin indicates a healthy circulatory system, and a yellow skin hue may be achieved by eating foods rich in carotenoids, which are antioxidants found in brightly colored produce.
