Response to tanning differs from one person to another. Some people get tanned directly from the first exposure to the sun while others can stay for hours with no results.
According to recent scientific research, eating vegetables on a daily basis, particularly tomatoes and carrots, can give the skin a glow and a perfect tan.
Scientists say: “It is the carotenoid in fruits and veggies that provide a natural and darker color to our skin”. Carotenoids are stored in fat, under the skin and they are secreted through the skin to create the golden color we desire.
Carotenoids, with their antioxidant qualities, are also successful at decreasing the harmful compounds which are the result of our stressful lifestyle. They participate in increasing our immune and reproductive system.
For a healthy and natural golden color, I recommend a daily minimum intake of five portions of vegetables. Increase the portions of tomatoes, carrots, sweet potato, kale, broccoli, spinach, red peppers, pumpkin, green leafy vegetables, broccoli and peas.
Eating foods rich in carotenoids is the healthiest way to enhance your skin color without any side effects. The result will not only improve your skin color but also your overall health due to the superactive antioxidants these vegetables provide.
Give it a try, you have nothing to lose; you can only gain benefit from the veggies.
