By now we all know that we should be eating our veggies for their nutritional content, healing properties, and downright yumminess. But what if eating certain vegetables and fruits also blessed you with radiant skin?

carrotsNew research shows that eating fruits and veggies rich in caretenoids gives you a radiant complexion! Caretenoids is a fancy word for the pigment found in yellow, orange, red, and dark green fruits and veggies. These pigments are stored by the body just under the skin, instantly making your skin glow from within. Sneak in more caretenoid-rich fruits and veggies in your diet with vitamin-packed recipes like Moroccan Carrot Salad, Roasted Red Saffron Peppers, or Sesame Tuna with Carrot-Ginger sauce and see your skin glow in no time! Research also suggests that eating caretenoid-rich foods like papayas, oranges, and mangos will also give your skin a golden hue, without the sun’s harmful rays. You gotta love the power of beauty foods!
