Foods that make us more attractive

A healthy diet, which is dominated by fruits and vegetables makes us more attractive. Fruits and vegetables when they are in abundance, give golden color, which contributes to look better, establish research.

"Most people believe that the best way to improve the color of your skin is a suntan, but our research shows that eating fruits and vegetables is much more effective" - ​​said Dr. Ian Stephen, head of the study. Participants who ate more fruits and vegetables gained a golden color due to carotenoids - antioxidants that absorb harmful chemicals and provide bright color of carrots and tomatoes (among other fruits and vegetables).

"We found that when you have to choose between sun tan and tan acquired by carotenoids, people preferred the second. - says Dr. Stephen. - So if you want a healthy and attractive tan is better to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables instead of lying in the sun. "

Although the participants in this study were skinned, other studies show that the same results were seen in people with darker skin tones. Yellowing of the skin is perceived as more attractive and blacks.

Scientists say the reason for the preference for brighter colors in humans is something we share many other species. For example, the bright yellow beaks and feathers show the female bird that male is healthy. Many types of female birds prefer brighter males. For the first time, however, such a relationship is open and within our species.
