Fruit will make you more beautiful with a healthy glow

We already know that fruits and vegetables are really good for you. Most people know they are good for you, but most people don't know "how" they are good for you. This is the purpose of our blog, to let you know how. Get this though, not only are they good for you, they help you look more attractive!

A new study released by the University of St. Andrews in the UK shows that eating fruits and veggies helps make your skin glow.... thus giving you a much more attractive appearance!

Carotenoids are what is responsible for this glow. Carotenoids are the red, yellow and orange pigments found in fruits and vegetables. For example, lycopene is the carotenoid found in tomatoes, red peppers, and WATERMELON that gives them their rich red color. (Lycopene has also been shown to help fight against cancer!). Leafy green vegetables like the Kale that we use here at fruitful treats contains tons of beta carotene which is the yellow pigment carotenoid.  These carotnoids depoist under the skin giving it health benefits, along with giving that fresh healthy glow.

According to the study, a controlled experiment was done where students increased their fruit portions (avoiding UV  and sun light), and recorded the results. 

"Skin tone becomes attractive with as little as three additional portions a day
You do not have to gorge yourself with lots of fruits and vegetables for a long period of time. Adding just two extra portions had a noticeable effect on attractiveness within a period of six weeks.

To be precise, eating additional 2.91 portions per day would make you look healthy. Eating additional 3.3 portions of fruits and vegetables would make you look attractive.

On average, one portion of fruit or vegetable is equivalent to 80g. For example, one apple, banana or orange will count as one portion."
These are all fruits you can get here at Fruit Occasions! Come and get it for that wonderful healthy glow!
