Want a youthful glow? Eat your veggies!

Research shows that carotenoids, compounds which give fruit and vegetables their rich colors, can provide a youthful glow to your skin as well. Research found that the more produce people ate, the more sun-kissed their skin looked. Not only that, but volunteers rated those people’s complexions more attractive than those of non-veggie-eating people!

The reason? According to researchers, carotenoid-infused skin can be a sign of reproductive health. Instead of reaching for chips and practicing pick-up lines, fill up on your leafy greens : )
