A Glowing Study: Fruit and Vegetables Can Make Us More Attractive

We have all heard the expression, you are what you eat and now we know; we also look like what we eat! A small study from the University of St Andrews in Scotland showed the groups that consumed just 3 extra serves of carotenoid containing fruits and vegetables showed a small change in their skin tones and colouration in just 6 weeks. The small change was enough to be perceived as more attractive to others. The group that ate more processed junk food became less attractive and paler in the study period. What they discovered was eating fruits and vegetables with carotenoids will increase the yellow and red tones in the skin giving us a more attractive glow. The good news is we can have that skin kissed glow without the damaging effects from excess sun exposure or chemicals from bottled fake tans. What you put in your mouth is much more important for skin health and complexion than what you put on it. The most expensive skin care treatments and creams cannot repair and restore skin where the person is consuming junk food and unhealthy sugar-laden foods. As this study indicates the participants who ate the processed foods appeared less attractive and pale. Carotenoids are made by the plant and once we have ingested these nutrients, they then travel into the bloodstream and are distributed into the skin and other organs. These nutrients concentrate in the skin giving us that lovely skin tone and also offering protection from the damaging effects of UV radiation. The most prominent carotenoids that improved skin tones were beta-carotenes and lycopenes. Fruits and vegetables containing these anti-oxidants are:

Carrot

Mango

Sweet Potato

Pumpkin

Red & Yellow Capsicum (pepper)

Tomato

Watermelon

Apricots

Peaches

Spinach

Papaya

Guava

Other wonderful properties of a rich carotenoid diet; the benefit for vision health, the prevention of cataracts, supporting a healthy immune system, keeping the mucus membranes of respiratory tract healthy and risk reduction for some cancers. When people eat refined foods high in sugars and processed fats this can overly tax the body with little return of nutrients which can result in a sluggish, pale complexion. When the kidneys and liver have a harder workload and have the increased burden of eliminating excess waste from junk food, this waste may then come out through the skin and cause blemishes and other skin problems. Fruits and vegetables contain many phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals to help keep the skin healthy and blemish free. An easy way to ensure that you get enough fruits and vegetables is from fresh juices. It is so easy to include those extra serves that are recommended for good health and for a wonderful glow. So we could say having a glass of juice is like having a holiday or at least others will think you have. Here are a few of our juices from the recipe section and weekly blogs that contain these carotenoid rich fruits/veggies

Carrot-Kale Combo

How a man acts before he proposes?

When he's going to propose, your man might start to act just a little weird. One of the biggest signs that he is going to propose is a change in his general attitude. He'll go out of his way to tell you how much he loves you. He's hoping you'll do the same; he's looking for confirmation that the time is right.

The day my boyfriend proposed to me I was furious with him. It was Valentine’s Day and we were vacationing in Florida with friends.I had asked him earlier if he wanted to do anything special to celebrate the holiday, and he responded with a casual “nah.” He barely said two words to me all day, yet he practically wore out my hand from constantly holding it. To make matters worse, our friends kept looking at me like I was growing two heads.Little did I know, my boyfriend was displaying all the classic symptoms that he was going to propose. If your boyfriend’s been acting strange lately, or if you can’t help wondering when he will finally pop the question, take a look at these 10 signs that he is getting ready to propose to you…
