We all know we should eat more fruits and vegetables for our health, wellness, and longevity. But now there’s evidence that it can also improve how we look.
A new study shows that eating more produce can make your skin look more attractive. Fruits and vegetables, which are both packed with antioxidants and plant-based pigments, seem to have a positive effect on skin tone.
Participants in the study showed an improvement in skin appearance even after an increase of one portion of fruit and vegetable a day. So it looks like you won’t need to be living on smoothies and salads in order to give your skin a healthier hue. A small change may yield visible results.

About Adriana Villavicencio
I’m not sure, but just in case I just ate a plate full of rutabaga, rhubarb and radishes.
I don’t know if it makes one physically attractive. But it can make one more spiritually and ethically attractive by only eating plant based food as opposed to slaughtered animal foods. Whole foods and organic produce and RAW is the best diet. The hard part is sticking to it!
Ugly is to the bone, but maintaining your diet with high in fruits and vega tables, if not allergic to them. Is all good. Btw, grass fed beef or free range chicken is not bad Mario. If you recall, beef is what made humans revolve to help our brains grow to achieve intelligence we have today. It is processed crap or GMO’s is what is killing us.
Definitely!!!
I’m glad you put this up there. I been slowly making the transition to eating one serving of animal protein every few weeks, and being Puerto Rican I get scrutinized by family and friends non-stop. Somehow over the course of our history we went from being gatherers in the rainforests to carnivorous peoples in the barrios. For the majority of our history meat has been a treat to our diets not a necessity or daily routine. But we’ve come to think that meat needs to be the “star” of any dish we make, when veggies and fruits should be.
That’s why Latinos have a higher obesity rate and Heart disease is the #1 killer of us all.
Anyways, to get back on topic. My skin does look better than it did. I get far less breakouts and have MORE energy, even though you would think I have less
I’m Vegan and I believe attractiveness comes in many shapes and forms. Philosophy of life… can be the ultimate; for me
As long as fast food chains have overwhelming power over our commerce, and as long as there is a McDonald’s on virtually every corner, with their ads suffocating TV and sides of buses, etc., people will continue to eat unhealthy and ignore good eating habits.
