Natures Bronzer - A Diet Rich in Fruit and Veggies Can Give You a Healthy Glow

Carotenoids in some fruits and vegetables (the yellow, orange and red pigments in their skins) bestow a healthy, attractive glow to those who consume them. "Most people think the best way to improve skin color is to get a suntan, but our research shows that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is actually more effective," stated Ian Stephen, PH.D, of the University of Nottingham.

Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids, such as carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, cantaloupe, guava, pink grapefruit and such green vegetables such as spinach, kale, Romaine, broccoli and collard greens.
