Study Finds "Veggie Tan" More Attractive Than Regular Suntan

Online, April 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Need another reason to eat more fruits and vegetables? You can get a healthy glow from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Research shows that a "veggie tan" is even more appealing than the color you get from the sun. In a recent European study, participants digitally adjusted photos of people to make them appear as healthy as possible. Most often, they increased the golden hue associated with chemicals called carotenoids more than the darker tones that come from sun tanning. According to the study's author, Ian Stephen, PhD., "Carotenoid color makes you look healthier and more attractive."

"Fruits and veggies contain natural pigments called carotenoids that give them their color," boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, authors of the new books TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH) and The TurboCharged Mind (January 2012, BSH). "Your skin will absorb these compounds when you are eating them regularly, and will give you the golden tone preferred by the study participants."

"These compounds also contain natural vitamins, minerals and other anti-oxidant compounds that are critical to optimal health," say the Griesels. "So be sure to eat plenty. You will not only look healthier; you will actually be healthier."
