People who eat fruits and vegetables like carrots and plums are considered more attractive, say scientists.
Their research showed that men and women whose skin had a yellow glow were thought to be particularly attractive and healthy, due to yellow pigments called carotenoids found in certain fruits and vegetables. The study’s co-author Ian Stephen said that only two months of increased consumption could produce visible results. This could lead to new strategies for encouraging young people to eat more fruits and vegetables, he said.
