Recent research from England has discovered that a “tan” gained from eating a vegetarian diet is deemed more attractive than a tan derived from the sun.
Consumption of plenty of vegetables high in carotenoids, antioxidant chemicals present in vegetables like carrots and beet greens, makes for an attactive tan.
A survey of British university students showed that those those who adhere to a healthy diet are deemed more attractive than those who do not. Researchers from the University of Nottingham, the University of St Andrews and the Bristol University showed several dozen students a series of photographed faces.
The students were able to adjust the skin tone of the photos, rendering them more yellow, more suntanned or more pale. The results show that students found yellower faces more healthy and attractive.
Another research study has highlighted that researchers found students on diets high in fruit and veg had yellower skin than those who were not on such diets.
Carotenoids are antioxidants which enable to body handle stress effective, maintain overall well being, including healthy immune and reproductive functions.
