Eating A Whole Food Plant Based Diet Makes Your Skin Glow
Do you want that glow, that special glow that sets you apart from other people? I am not talking about the fake makeup glow that takes a long time to put on and get right.
I am talking about that roll out of bed glow that makes your husband or wife want to roll you right back into bed. I am talking about that natural glow that stays with you all the time.
That glow is the result of the accumulation of plant pigments in your skin. Pigments that make you look at lavender petals in amazement. We are programed to be in awe of these natural pigments, and unknowingly we use these pigments naturally to make ourselves more beautiful and stand apart: stand above.
When we consume a diet rich in plant foods we consume an abundance of carotenoids and melanin pigments that protect the skin against UV damage from the sun, and enhance the immune defense system in the skin.
Yes these compounds protect the skin, but they also do something else that is remarkable for the skin. They add a natural yellow color that makes your skin naturally glow.[1]
The study found that the consumption of fruits and vegetables and the carotenoids and melanin pigments they contained made the faces of African Americans, Asians, and Caucasians all look better across the board.
Not only did the color enhancement of the carotenoids and melanin pigments of the fruits and vegetables make the faces more beautiful, the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables helped improve blood flow to the face resulting in a natural rosy glow.
Want to be more beautiful? Want to make your skin glow like the sun? Eat a diet centered on plant foods. This way you carry that glowing skin everywhere you go at all times.
